Bloggers Calling Card
To Be Or Not To Be John Chow
Does it seem like anytime a new bloging blogging tool comes out that everyone runs out to get it for their site? Well if John Chow uses it than it must be a tool that will surely bring me some traffic, this is me laughing at anything John Chow does, if you didn’t notice the sarcasm in my writing. Let’s get down to business.
Entrecard
If you want to go to someones site and leave something behind, you can now. Entrecard allows you to upload a 120×120 image and add a widget to your site that will allow others to leave there image and allow you to leave yours on theirs.You pay for this advertising with Entrecard Credits, that you earn for free by networking (a.k.a. visiting blogs and dropping your card for other bloggers).
When you click on the drop yours button it will drop your entrecard image that you set up with them. You can change the image anytime and it will still lead to your site.
Advertising On Someone Elses Entrecard
To advertise on someone elses Entrecard you will have to pay them Entrecard credits. What are credits you might ask? Credits is Entrecards way of having a type of currency. You will be earning credit everytime you have someone drop a card into your Entrecard slot or you drop into their Entrecard slot. When someone wants to drop it you will have to approve or deny if it gets seen. Lets get something clear though, to get your Entrecard on someones site you have to pay the credits. It will not get seen if you don’t pay.
Getting The Widget
Grab the code and put it where you want people to see it. They make it to easy, and if you don’t put it on your blog they will know, they have technology that looks to see if it’s there.
My Take
I will give you my take when I see how much traffic comes because of it…

Search Engine Optimization Understanding
Instant Code is done with Voice Of Bragg, and I must say I am very pleased. After they emailed me I reply asking the question on the importance of good code, here are some examples of his reply.
Semantic Benefits:
1. Semantic code is shorter and so downloads faster.
2. Semantic code makes site updates easier because you can apply design style to headings across an entire site instead of on a per page basis.
3. Semantic code is easier for people to understand too so if a new web designer picks up the code they can learn it much faster.
4. Because semantic code does not contain design elements it is possible to change the look and feel of your site without recoding all of the HTML .
Once again, because design is held separately from your content, semantic code allows anybody to add or edit pages without having to have a good eye for design. You simply describe the content and the cascading style sheet defines what that content looks like.
Seems my site had some nasty code problems. The code seems much smoother and works well with different explorers. They have reasonable prices, they need to work on the time spent on the code, it took them about six days to finish. My code was jacked, but a quote is a quote, if you say your going to have it done with in twenty to forty eight hours than it has to be done then. All is well though, they did a good job.

Ok Instant Coding I Give Up
After the third email and giving them all my info I am still waiting to see what Instant Coding has in store for me. They have kept in contact with me and have insured me that they are going to get to me. I have thanked John Chow over and over for the helpful help he has provided by selling these guys on his site. Let’s see if John’s guys can do the job. By the time I get done with them my site should be 100% tip top shape for business.
What Business You Might Ask
I know all of you who have kids are so tired of wondering where your kids are going on the internet. Well I can tell you where they are going who they are talking to and if they are doing all the right or wrong things you think they are doing. Yes I can….you think he is cheating, let’s find out. You think she is cheating, yelp, let’s find out. The kids, the babysitter, your mom, whom ever you are worried about. You might be one of those parents who are worried about their children and want to check up on them.
PC Broke, Let Me Be The Judge
There is a way for me to check your pc from the very seat where I seat. Do you want a firewall, some spam protection, virus protection installed, you could be better protected. No, I am not good with code; I work on the health and maitenance of the pc. Email me if you are interested and we can talk about what we can do for you.
