Green Flamingobecause I said so

Part of this post is guest posted by the wonderful jedi master Yoda. Yes, it may have been a bit hard for him to learn to type on the different keyboards we have now that before were so high tech and even on a simple speeder! Yoda is very pleased to guest post at green-flamingo.com, and he would have liked to do a podcast for you but his microphone system that is like more than 10,000 years old crumbled into dust a few days ago, and that was a big disappointment for him, and he has not been able to find another one of the same model. So I now hand you over to the Jedi master Yoda, friend and ally of the force, master of the force.

Grasp a hint from the title did you, hmmmm? Happy I am to guest post on green-flamingo.com I am. A podcast I was going to do, but my set fell apart. Have one Obi-Wan may, but on a mission of investigation he is. Break into his condo I could, but do that I would rather not.

Surprised I am alive, hmmmm? Answer some questions I will, yes. As seen in Return of the Jedi, die I do, and partly that is true. But become one with the force I did, as Obi-Wan, and Qui-Gonn, and Master Windu, and materialize we can, though do that we did not for a while, as to please the audience, hmmm. Alive all the jedi are, but sith too. Terrible that is, but accept the truth we must. Investigating an Imperial Star Destroyer, Obi-Wan  is, while Luke still trains  on these lands. A new apprentice Qui-Gonn has, by the name of Gabriella.  And apprentice of Anakin, Ahsoka, exists as well, hmmmm. Darth Vader, Anakin still is, sadly. Stopped in time it may seem we be, but time matters not, age matters not, distance matters not. Understand that you must, to learn my lesson. Go I must soon, to the planet of Kashyyyk, with Chewbacca, and Tarful and others I will see there. Accept us as the living you must, and trained in the force some of you will be.

Guest post again, I hope to soon, or maybe start a website I will. Participate in Talk Like Me Day I hope you did, for please me it does that I am honored in this way. Go I must.

OK. Our little green friend does have to go to Kashyyyk now, with Chewbacca, and he will see other Wookies, who were not all killed by the clones. I’ll stop writing in italics now, but know it’s me.

So, I should tell you what has been going on in my life, some good and some bad.

Yesterday, we went to a baseball game. For school. It was good. Not my point. Yesterday, after dinner, I tripped over a pillow I had stupidly placed where I was running, and sprain my ankle I did. Bad that was, and now it is very difficult to walk. I am very glad blogging doesn’t involve your feet. Also, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull came out today, and I hope you enjoyed it if you saw it. Other than that, no big updates. I just hope you all enjoyed and participated in(this site indicates it is on the 21st, but the 22nd is fine to celebrate too. In the links over the past few days, it has said the 22nd, so again, either are fine.) Talk Like Yoda Day!

Yes. Some of you may think this is for newbies, well is it? I’m not sure. I’m not sure if I’m a newbie to blogging. I don’t think so, it has been about 7 months, but I’ll take your word for most of what you say.

So, onto the features, what it is, and what you need to know of entrecard.

Entrecard is a bit like a free way to advertise your blog. I am assuming all of you in the make money online niche already know what entrecard is, but for those that don’t, it can really help. So if you don’t have the money to advertise, you may consider entrecard as an option. Or even if you do have the money to advertise on the place you want, Entrecard is still a useful tool.

How it works – First of course you must create an account, which means for me another password to remember then forget then have a new one or your old one emailed to you. I am pretty crazy that way. Once you have your account, you can add a website, and I think it was just yesterday that they added the feature of being able to have more than one website without creating another account (one less password and username (username usually equally tricky if not more) for me, woohoo!). So after you have your website hooked up, you are ready to start dropping cards and earning credits! Now, before you can earn points by doing nothing, you must set up and entrecard widget. Go under code and get the code, it is best to paste in the sidebar.

Dropping cards and earning credits – To earn credits is simple. There are at least three ways. The easiest and least time consuming are dropping your card on someone else’s blog or someone dropping their card on your blog. To drop your card, simply visit a blog that uses entrecard, and you will most likely see an Entrecard widget. Just click drop, then you will earn a credit and so will the website you dropped it on (don’t drop on your rival website then :p). So you can pick up the credits also by someone dropping their card on your website. The last way I can think of right now is to allow someone to advertise. What will happen is the widget on your site will look like the widget on someone else’s site, or at least the “logo” from the profile. You can also advertise, though it costs you a certain number of entrecards per day. As you have more credits, hopefully the “price” it is to advertise through your widget will increase. What I am surprised at is that in 3 days I have 53 credits, but it is only 8 to advertise. When I had much less credits on the first day it cost 32 credits to advertise I am pretty sure. So now you know the basics to get started and earn credits!

Some thoughts I had – Well, this post is not just to tell you how to you use Entrecard, no! The ones who were bored to death by the previous paragraphs here is something you might enjoy: my critiquing opinion slashing like a lightsaber through everything it sees/reviews.

I am fairly happy with Entrecard itself, but it’s the “Entrecarders” that bother me. The program works well and has given me a significant increasing amount of traffic, but that doesn’t always mean more readers. I am bothered with one thing about Entrecard itself: that you cannot see who you dropped your card on except the day you are living then and there(It shows some but not all). What I am most bothered about is that the traffic is mostly stupid entrecarders that don’t even read your posts. All the do is look for your entrecard button and they’re off. It says it is nice to comment on the latest post, but not very many people do that. I actually comment on one or more posts on every blog I drop on, unless the topic really is boring. I also hate the blogger.com things because you don’t even get to link to your site, and you have to fill out this huge form, all a big pain.

So, for people new to Entrecard and learned what it was recently or today, I advise to join. Reminder: Talk like Yoda day is in two days, on Thursday, May 22. Yoda would appreciate it so much if you would participate, it would be a great honor to him if you did. Another reminder: If you are an entrecard member, would you mind dropping a card on my widget? I will try to follow to your website and do the same for you, and I will most likely commentate on your latest post as well.

Posted recently, I have not. But apologize I do. Coming soon, talk like Yoda day is, and talk like Yoda on that day, I will. Hmmmmm. Visit this site about Talk Like Yoda Day you can. Stop Talking as Yoda does for now, I will.

Yes. So talk like Yoda day is coming up. On May 21st or 20th it is. Resist to talk like Yoda all the time I can not. Well, talk like Yoda day as made to honor one of the greatest jedi masters. And as he said, “Size matters not.”(This I believe was referring to the size of Jedi masters, because some things the size does matter).

I was trying to give a picture, but the photobucket makes it so complicated.

So, after spending half an hour trying to get an image in here, then I don’t really know what else to say. But remember, talk like Yoda on Talk Like Yoda Day. And to learn to talk like Yoda, follow the link above. To me I already new how before visiting the site, but for people who don’t it’s great!
