Have you heard of Entrecard before? If you are a blogger, its one of those sites that makes you excited like when you were in high school and found the best acne treatment ever. Seriously, Entrecard drives a fair amount of traffic to your site. However, they recently have gone through some changes that all the users don’t agree with. I won’t get into that since everything can change again in a day or two.

Instead, this post is about Owen and how awesome he is. Owen has written a plugin called EntreDroppers for us WP users. You can see it working in my sidebar (Its called Latest EntreDroppers). All you have to do is input your RSS feed from your Entrecard inbox, and that’s it!  You can tweak it to look like you want — descriptions after blogs, number of blogs showing, etc.  I have mine to show the last ten blogs to drop on me.

Give a shout out to Owen and let him know he rocks and download his plugin!

I am guilty of it too. Heck, this post is going to be a whine about whining. I came back today feeling completely refreshed. After checking my email (only 202 messages in my inbox and 2032 in my spam inbox), I checked out some of the forums I hang out in. It was such a downer. Now, I don’t mind threads that say I need to rant, because I do that and we all need that sort of outlet. However, it was everything else. I never realized how much negativity was there until I walked away for a few days. It is a real eye opener for me. My goal for next year I think is going to try to be less negative. Granted, this isn’t like curing cerebral palsy or anything. However, it is the baby steps that lead you in the right direction.  Hopefully, this change in attitude can be reflected in all aspects of my life.  We’ll have to wait and see . . . .
