What a year it’s been for emojis in general. Some of the press has been good, and some are not.

About that emoji movie… It’s like it never happened or shouldn’t have happened.

And as for the Emogenius Game Show, it’s creeping right along into the late night spot as each week passes, having launched at 8 PM CST, now 11 PM CST, and likely to be canceled, not too far on the horizon.

As for the good, there are still 6 billion emoji being sent via messages daily.  And another is we’re closing in fast this month on the one-year anniversary of GoDaddy’s emoji domain search engine: i❤.ws.

Just finished reading Giuseppe Graziano’s latest email in regards to Domains vs Bitcoins.

If you’re not familiar with Giuseppe and his website, then I encourage you to do two things right now (well, finish reading this post first):

Emoji are here to stay although many think of them as a fad, especially when regarding emoji domains.

Although not available for registration in top-level-domain extensions (TLDs) due to IDNA2008, emoji domains have found a blossoming home with a growing number of country-code TLDs.

.ws exploded on the scene with a growing number of emoji domains being registered via Jon Roig’s popular emoji domain registration engine: i❤.ws.

With over 21,000 .ws emoji domain registrations and growing daily, a number of other ccTLDs are opening up their doors to warmly receive emoji domains.

In fact, .to is another ccTLD aiming to close the emoji domain registrations gap due to Max Guerin sharing the “emoji domain engine” idea with Marc Köhlbrugge, producing 😄.to.

Achieving nearly 75% of single .to emoji domains registered in two days, I wondered whether or not other ccTLDs would toy with the idea or give strong consideration to allowing emoji domains.

After all, what ccTLD wouldn’t give serious consideration to possibly realizing a strong 5-6 figure revenue generation from a domain niche that’s heating up?

It’s been some time since I’ve had a moment to interview a personal or company brand.

Since my most recent interview, teaching kids to code using emoji, there’s been quite a few happenings in the emoji domain space:

• a price increase and reductions in emoji domains
• entry into emoji domain market by another ccTLD
• additional and notable emoji domains sales achieved
• increased emoji domain public and expiring auction exposure

And those are just a few of the many emoji domain highlights. That said, today I’m fortunate enough to share with everyone my latest interview with Burton Rast, the ‘sign of the horns’ (🤘) emoji domain owner.

“It’s been a long time. I shouldn’t have left you, Without a dope tutorial to go to…”

Well, let’s just say I’m channeling a bit of Timbaland and the late Aaliyah’s “Try Again” today to bring your another tutorial.

Indeed, it’s been nearly two months since I last graced you with a tutorial.

Although I’ve spent the last few months covering all things emoji domains with more soon to come, today’s tutorial covers how to set and update WordPress Post Tags using PHP programmatically.

I decided to tackle this tutorial after receiving an inquiry about my creating WordPress Posts and Pages using a PHP video tutorial.

We don’t have much time, so let’s get started.

It’s been a while since I had a moment to post about emoji domains nearing the auction’s end.

I’ve been quite busy with a few other projects, plus my oldest recently started soccer.

Nevertheless, I was perusing the emoji domain marketplace and discovered some expiring domains with auctions ending quite soon.

Not all are worth investing in, so do your due diligence before pulling the trigger.

It’s a new day, yet emoji domains are still trending and quite well too. In fact, it’s been another milestone week for emoji domains.

If you were fortunate enough to experience the initial moment Twitter caught fire and to purchase a single .to emoji domain because of it, then count it a blessing and hold tightly to your new emoji domains. Here’s why…
