A Sick Blog & UPrinting Custom Greeting Card Giveaway

Oh no! Everything has gone bonkers with my blog - and it's a mystery to me. Thankfully, my blog buddy is helping me fix everything...so look out for things to be much better (and different!) soon. I'm sorry to everyone this has negatively affected - it's been a wild ride on this end, too! It would be cool to shoot Re some thanks - so why not stop by her blogs? As if you need a reason, you can also drop your EC there, too.

Wake Up Entrecard!

Entrecard needs to wake up.

Today's post is in praise of RE_Ausetkmt's phenomenal post, Isn't it time We Started Dropping Smart instead of being Baited Harder, on Mama ASID's Entrepod blog.

I'm not going to gunk up this post with a bunch of jargon - all I'm going to say is that if you participate in Entrecard, RUN - do not walk - over to ENTREPOD. It delves much deeper into my original post regarding ECs virus problem, which originally came from Laane.

If those who run EC don't wake up soon, they are going to lose a lot of really good bloggers...and what will be left? The clickfarmers. Is that what EC is all about?

The next few weeks will tell everyone whether the new management team wants to really make EC great...or if a clickfarm (and money) is what they're all about. Hello, wanting more free space on blogs with the new referral widget.

If you're tired of getting viruses from those you drop on, tired of droppers just driving up your bounce rate, tired of the problems with EC being down and widgets acting up...and really want some positive change with EC, please point others to the Entrepod post. Just like everyone did with the paid ads debacle, we can get EC turned around.

If we make enough noise.

xx,
