A great user generated video about Naque for Unique Names

We were absolutely floored to stumble upon this great video about the Naque for Unique Names website!

This clever young fellow, DamageTutorials, seems to really enjoy creating his usernames with unique-names.com.

Not only is it a better quality video than we would ever be able to make, coming from us it would literally be self-promotion. When this fellow does it, it’s much more believable.

Thanks DamageTutorials! You made our day.

Update: Rats, it appears that DamageTutorials’ YouTube account has been deactivated. We’re hosting the video here on the blog, we can’t find contact information for DamageTutorials… so if you happen to see this, drop us a line.

Here’s the original YouTube video embed, though, it probably will never work again:

Fixing list indent in CSS

A very quick post for today.

I was tweaking the layout of Naque, our unique names generator. It took a bit of fiddling to eliminate the indentation of the list elements in an unordered list.

E.g.

first item

For some reason I couldn’t remove the ident. Margin (left) was the obvious thing to change. However, you also have to change the padding!

CSS, so nice, yet so confusing sometimes…

The Naque for Unique Names is Reborn

We’ve finally gotten around to reworking our fun site for choosing or creating unique names. Naque, which is now at unique-names.com, surprised us by developing a reasonably large audience over the years. So the old site deserved a bit of a face lift.

We made changes to the layout and colour scheme. Behind the scenes, we made bigger changes so that the site is a lot easier to change in the future. All the tools are still there, including our favorite, the ever popular Word Mixer.

So, the greatest site for creating unique words and names is ready to take on 2008 and beyond.

Naque for Unique Names (finally) Gets a Domain

After at least a couple years of neglect, we’ve decided to touch up our fun little website for creating unique names.

The first step was to finally move the site to it’s own domain name, no more piggy-backing off of our corporate domain, perceptus.ca!

The Naque for Unique Names has moved from it’s old address at http://unique-name.perceptus.ca to http://unique-names.com.

It’s a small step, but it’s the first of many. Anyone with links to the old site are encouraged to update them.
