Entrecard Manners Count 

You might have noticed that I used Entrecard on this blog. I don’t on my other blogs, well streakers4 Are You An Entrestreaker?just because I don’t. There’s no scientific evidence, at least as far as I’m concerned that its good or bad for my uses. However, I do have a few little gripes about its use on other sites. (just my opinion mind you)

Why is it necessary to  barrage users with pop ups and music that can not be clicked away? If I run into either of these time wasters, I’m gone, no click.

Are you hiding your Entrecard ad space for a reason? I will read a blog if its interesting, don’t make me hunt the Entrecard ad space, that’s really annoying. Also, why put it at the very bottom of the page? Is that so, I’ll be forced to page down and spend some time? Not gonna happen for me, I’ll click and be gone, chances are I’ll never be back either. (Just something to think about.)

Personally, I try to make Entrecard worth its while. (For example, commenting on posts). Don’t count on me to comment on every post, but if I find it useful or have something worth saying, I will.  “Entrestreaking” (click and run) is just bad manners. (I think)

So, for those of you who place your Entrecard ad widget above the fold, whose pages load quickly, who don’t  play hide and seek with your widget and who find the time to actually read the page your on, a big THANK YOU. The rest of you (you know who you are), think about WHY you put Entrecard on your blog in the first place. Then think about your visitors. Paying attention to your readers will get you far!

Easter Holiday

I most probably will not find time to post during this time. I wish you all a very happy and peaceful Easter. 

 Gettin Some Ink

Ok, I am going to go ahead and put it out there. I’m working on getting some ink (read: getting published) and I’m going to need your help to do it. I’m working on a book right now about adoption and adult adoptees. I’d like to get in touch with as many adult adoptees as I can for interview purposes. (All personal info will remain confidential and will NOT become part of a published work) If you are an adult adoptee, or for that matter the parent of one, I’d love to hear from you. Please use my contact form and drop me a note. Also, if you know of someone who’s an adult adoptee, send them here please.  Research is the heart of any good read and heavens knows I need as much research on this topic as I can get.  The other side of the coin is that I’d like to talk with Birth Mothers about the subject. You can use the contact form for that information as well.
