Domain name registrations

Why register more than one domain name?

Registering more than one domain name has a number of advantages.

Read the following for some ideas.

If you register your business name (eg johnnyelectics.com.au) you can also register other names that people may search for you under.

In the above example you may sell light bulbs, so you might register lightbulbs.com.au as well.

Having more than one domain name does help you in getting better positioning in Search Engines, like Google.

Many web sites employ multiple domain names so they can direct users that are interested in a particular product straight to the page about that product in their main web site.

Protect your brand on the Internet:

If you register johnnyelectics.com.au you should also register johnnyelectics.com.

The subtle difference is not always obvious, don’t have your competitor getting traffic that should be destined for your web site!

Streaming video in Adobe Captivate

Over the last few weeks I have had the pleasure or nightmare to set up an eLearning course in Adobe Captivate.

What I thought was going to be easy turned out to be a challenge. The toughest part was getting the video to stream. I tried a few options one being the widget from http://blog.flash-factor.com/ this work but is only limited to one YouTube video per project. Yves is working on a multi video widget.

I tried another company but couldn’t for the life of me get it to stream, so I tried Netromedia.com worked straight away.
I now have 9 FLV videos streaming from within the Scorm placed within Moodle 2.0. The streaming setting i found to work straight out of the gate were.
Server URL: rtmp://151.obj.netromedia.net/XXXX
Stream name: video.flv

I prefer the look of the haloskin3 UI.
