Silk Icons Version 1.3

September 21st, 2007 Shabu Free Icons 0

Silk Icons v1.3 set, with 1000 icons , including report icons, some new picture icons, some small XHTML/CSS buttons, and some hardware drive icons. The feed icons have been brought into line with new standard, and all icons have been compressed to lower the file size. Author calling this set is complete.

Recently I have released one 4images templates; I wanted to add some icons in my templates. So I dig my PC for FamFamFam icons but those were too old. I did not found many of my required icons. Then I check their site for new release and found v1.3.

Really I am happy with this release, they are enough for me.

A Big thumbs up to Mark James :)

No more HostingZoom!

I started getting some serious problem with HostingZoom at end of August when I noticed my log is getting filled with error messages. After getting a close look, it turns out that I am getting killed by there server due to exceeding my limit of “resource usage”. :(

After spending more than 48 hours and my best effort to sort out this issue with them, I am deeply disappointed with their efforts and responses I have been getting for my tickets. They can’t handle my BestoftheWebs Directory even when at this time, I only have 644 categories and 200 active links.

I am getting “Internal Server Error” message when trying to download 7MB of DB backup. (In .zip format it’s just 660kb). I am getting error message when there are bots crawling the directory. And I am getting error message even when I am working on phpLD admin control panel. I even got complains from my users.

So, if you plan to run a directory with HostingZoom, you are going down. Their support wouldn’t provide a “Detail” log as to what kind of limit you were hitting. And they will just ask you to move to “Dedicated server”.

Be very sure not to use HostingZoom if you are running a web directory.

This message comes from one of my friends; I had one reseller package there. I think I was there for almost 6 months. My major sites were hosted there and I got the same kind of problem. They asked me to upgrade my hosting into their VPS package.

Hosting Zoom providing very limited DB connection for reseller user, when you exceed that limit, you and your users will get “Internal Server Error” message!

So, think again before buying any reseller package from HostingZoom!

Human powered search, real people shape the rankings on Sproose. Unlike other search engines that give results based on algorithms, corporate funding, and the opinions of web masters, Sproose gives the power of search ranking to you, the user.

Simply click the “I Like It” link next to each result to cast your vote. The site will immediately move up. As a registered user your votes instantly improve the search results for other Sproose users.

Personally, I don’t think Sproose can beat Big G but who knows? Lets see!

Webmaster forum - keyword

Few months back Webmaster Desk was launched from izeel network (now Marks and Marker), having a target to build a webmaster community.

Personally I am not an SEO and I don’t have enough knowledge on SEO. Only I have ordered my directory submitter to submit Webmaster Desk in every free directory and I think he is doing very well.

Within short time and without any link building campaign; Webmaster Desk got #15 place on Google by webmaster forum keyword.

I am very happy and surprised!
