How to transfer away from GoDaddy

AJ — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 15:51:29 +0000

Today, I transferred a domain away from Godaddy. Not because they’re not good, but because I wanted to consolidate my domains in one location.

Here’s how I did it:

1) Unlock your domain at GoDaddy

2) Go to your preferred domain registrar, initiate the transfer. Make sure your domain name is transferrable (see #1)

3) After you have paid for the transfer, your preferred domain registrar will ask you to enter an Authorization Code (sometimes called as EPP or transfer secret info/code), on GoDaddy, you’ll find it here. Add support@godaddy.com to your address book and/or whitelist. The email will come from it.

4) Once you get the authorization code, enter it on your preferred registrar. The transfer will now continue.

5) GoDaddy will ask you to authorize the transfer. Login to your account and go to “Domains” >> “Pending Transfers” >> select the domain

6) On the pending transfers list, click the domain you are transferring

7) You will see a screen like the one below. Click the “Accept/Decline” button

7) A overlay window will popup and just select “Accept” and click “OK”. And that should be it.

You should receive 2 emails from GoDaddy confirming the transfer.

That’s it. I made this post because I found that domain transfers are somehow one of the most challenging tasks in owning a domain. And I do hope that this post outlines how to do it away from GoDaddy.

How to change password in PayPal?

Here’s a common question I get all the time from colleagues and friends: “How do I change my password in PayPal?”. At first I thought they’re just not looking hard. Until I realized, they had a point. It’s actually not hard, it’s just a bit confusing. Here’s how:

As soon as you login, click the “Profile” link.

As soon as your mouse hover the word “Profile”, it will pop-out a menu for adding/editing other items. Ignore that menu and just click on the “Profile” link.

That’s it! I guess the menu throws people off.

OR use this quick link to change your password in PayPal. Hope it helps.

Add the new Facebook “Like” Button Widget on your Blogger Blogs

AJ — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 03:46:47 +0000

I’ve promised my family and friends that I would create a Blogger counterpart of the plugin I did last night for WordPress, the Facebook “Like” Button Widget Plugin.

Well, I don’t want to keep you from waiting. Here’s how you do it:

1) Login to Blogger (I preferred Blogger Draft in this example)

2) Click “Layout” on the blog you want to add the Widget

3) Click “Edit HTML”

4) Tick the “Expand Widget Templates” checkbox.

5) Search for the following code (you can use CTRL+F on your browser)

Once you found it, on the next line you should find this code . If you found that, it means you are on the right spot.

Copy the code below and paste it right after that code (highlighted yellow above).

UPDATE: The above code doesn’t seem to work because copying it from here adds some funky characters in the markup. Grab it here instead:

Like the highlighted code in the screenshot.

6) Click “Save Template”

7) You’re done! Refresh your main blogger blog now and you should be able to see your new Facebook “Like” Button Widget

Got it working? Post your URL in the comments below. Cool huh?
