Last blogger to get infected by EntreCard
I am Legend. 60 million bloggers on the blogosphere. I will be at BlogMunch every day at midday, where the sun is the highest in the sky. God didn’t do this; EntreCard did. I am the last blogger. I am the only hope. I got infected.
Wow, can’t wait to watch this show. Singapore will only premiere on the 25th December 2007. Damn.
Anyway, I think you would have noticed I jump on the EntreCard bandwagon today. I didn’t want to, even though it comes highly recommended by John Cow, John Chow and Shoemoney. I thought it will be like BlogRush; a Bust on the sidebar for decorative purposes.
In case you did not get infected by EntreCard, here’s how it works. First, you sign up at Entrecard.com for free. Design a nice, nice 125×125 for yourself. Add the code in your WordPress theme. Viola, now there will be a widget on your sidebar for your readers to drop their EntreCard.
Now you can go round your favourite blogs to drop your card. But dropping a card only tells the blogger of your existence. To have your card appear, you will need to pay credits to buy a spot. And credits are earned by dropping a card or getting others to advertise their card on your blog. Does it sounds complicated? Actually, it is not. I just set up the widget four hours ago and now there are quite a few cards waiting in queue for me to approve. So gratifying.
It is definitely more fun than BlogRush. Sort of like playing a RPG card game. I also get fascinated by all the design ideas that goes into a tiny 125×125 card. Some are simply brilliant.
One thing I would like to suggest is a way to approve a card in the inbox. There are some cards that are so beautiful that I want to showcase them even though they don’t want to spend credits on my blog. That would be nice.
So drop a card and let me see how you design your card. I am interested.
After you drop your card, how about subscribing to the BlogMunch Feed. Don’t need credits for that.

I think you should put your entrecard widget to the rightmost up place where the other ads stay too. This will increase your credits and exposure.
