Anthologize is a free, open-source, plugin that transforms WordPress 3.0 into a platform for publishing electronic texts. Grab posts from your WordPress blog, import feeds from external sites, or create new content directly within Anthologize. Then outline, order, and edit your work, crafting it into a single volume for export in several formats, including—in this release—PDF, ePUB, TEI.

It sounds like Anthologize would be an easy way to take the content you’ve produced over a few years and use it as a basis for an eBook, which you could then distribute through Amazon or iTunes—or in print through somewhere like Lulu.

I’m also reminded of an old idea of mine… I’ve always thought it would be fun to write a “serial novel” in installments posted on a WordPress blog. (i.e. a chapter per post.) Anthologize would be useful in a situation like that, as the finished work could be easily converted to a form suitable for publication in print or through an eBook store.

As the ebook states, all of the three and four-letter domains have already been registered, and the five-letter ones are being taken pretty fast. (Lucky for me, I managed to get a good 5-letter domain…) While it may be tempting to run out and register a short domain like qqzkr.com, don’t do it. Find a domain that fits Daniel’s “7 Characteristics Of Good Domain Names.” Get a short, brandable domain that people won’t have trouble remembering or spelling.

Of course, having some experience in such matters, I have a few things to add…

• The ebook mentions the value of short, one-word “.com” domains, and recommends using the .com TLD as it’s the one people automatically think of when they type a URL. While I agree that you should try to get .com, sometimes you should go for an alternate TLD. If you had the chance to get a domain like Blog.net, would you care that it wasn’t a .com domain? It would still be worth a lot, despite having a less-memorable TLD. Like the Pirates’ Code, it’s more of a guideline than an actual rule.
• The book doesn’t mention a possible way to get a short and brandable domain. Misspelling it. Do Digg, Google, and Flickr ring a bell?
• While there there was plenty of help in the book on the brainstorming of domain names, there is always more advice to be had. I have a little guide I wrote awhile back that may be of additional use to you. Naming Your Site: No, “Bob” Isn’t a Good Name covers several ways to find a good domain. Several of which are odd methods that virtually no one but me uses. Have you ever heard of someone using Boggle to find a domain? That’s where NTugo.com came from.

Overall, Killer Domains was a good ebook. It was an enjoyable read, and it was well written. If you’re in the market for a good domain, Killer Domains is definitely worth a look.
