If you thought you couldn’t register a domain with the name of a famous person, you thought wrong. Dustin Diamond (“Screech” of TV’s “Saved by the Bell”) lost a case in court when he tried to obtain DustinDiamond.com from webmaster Max Goldberg. This decision back in 2004 has prompted all types of sites to pop up using big celebrity names. It can also be very profitable if you see an up and coming star whose name isn’t registered yet. You could simply grab the name, gain the top position on Google for the name and then leverage it to make money!

To avoid any confusion, WordPress decided to scrap it all together and just move to 2.6.5. Download the upgrade here.
