EntreDroppers

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

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!

Suppose to be working

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

That’s what I am suppose to be doing right now. However, I really don’t feel like it at all. I’d rather be searching the web for eco products and things in Sedona than doing the research I am suppose to be doing. Think I can talk Bill into letting me work tomorrow afternoon instead?

On another note, we got a quote on finishing the basement from Owens Corning yesterday. You think they’d give me a free basement if I blogged good things about them. lol Let’s just say it was over $20,000 and I don’t think I am willing to spend that kind of money in the basement. What do you think?

Quote of the Day

I saw this over on Owen’s blog:

I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

I don’t know. I just found it incredibly funny.

Comment Email Responder

Friday, April 20th, 2007

This is the best plugin ever!  As you may have noticed with some of my sidebar widgets, I am trying to get a more comments and readers on my blog.  Owen, being the dear he is, wrote a plugin to help keep up with your comments and responses.  I try to respond to everyone that comments.  However, sometimes it is really hard with all the copying and pasting you end up doing.  I usually end up responding on my blog or by email, and I forget to do the other.

Here is where Owen’s awesome plugin steps in.  The Comment Email Responder allows me to respond on the thread and automatically send an email for me.  It is awesome.  A few of us posties have tried it out, and we love it!!

Owen Rocks!

See the cool little gadget thingy over in the sidebar —> Its called latest comments. Owen has been helping me all day to get this to work. Pretty cool, huh?

I have been taking his advice for how to get more comments on your site. This plugin was part of his advice. I have also added top commentators. Please let me know what you guys think. Should I keep both? Only go with one? Let me know your thoughts!
