It worked!!

Last week I did a post requesting help from all you Entrecard experts and you all came through like troopers! Especially my good friend Tammy. Tammy gave me a link to a cleaner site (it’s free) to clean out all my cookies and stuff after I had done all my dropping from one of my blogs. Because I have several blogs in the Entrecard system I have to clean out my computer after each and every drop from one account. This is the only way it would work. But even cleaning out the system each time, it’s still faster dropping cards this way than it was the way I was doing. So thank you Tammy and thank you to everyone else for your sound advice. Now that I am aware that I need to clean out my cookies (that word makes me giggle), my dropping time has been cut in half!!

I’ve learned so much

A little over a year ago, I created my first blog and set upon my journey into the Internet world. Now you all have to understand something. When I first started on the Internet the only thing that I knew how to do was to turn on the computer. I didn’t even know how to cut and paste. I have come a long way since then. I have learned so much such as creating websites, editing html, creating blogs and yes, even copying and pasting. So now that I have the basics down, I have been trying to learn about the different types of products such as the CAT5e that are available on the market for computers and Internet users. I am learning quite a bit, but I have found that I have so much more to learn. But give me a couple of more years doing this type of work, and I’ll be able to claim that I’m an expert.

Entrecard experts. Help please!!

OK  Here’s my problem.  I have quite a few sites on Entrecard.  So I downloaded the firefox toolbar so I would have a faster time dropping my cards.  And this part of my plan has worked out quite well.  But I have discovered another problem and for the life of me I can’t figure out how to get around this.  Maybe someone here can help me out with this.

The problem I’m having is after I drop my card for one site onto another it says “thanks”.  Yes, I know it’s supposed to.  But when I go to drop a different card from a different site of mine onto the same site where I’ve already been once that day, it gives me the message of “1 per day”.  I understand I’ve already dropped from one site, but this is a different card that  I’m trying to drop from.

Can anybody help me with this?  I hope I didn’t confuse you all.  Because I’m pretty sure that I just confused myself. lol

My take on Social Spark

So most of you know that I do some paid posting for several companies. One of the companies that I consistently to work for is PayPerPost. I have been with them for well over a year now and am quite happy with the work I do for them. So, when I got wind that they were setting up another company called SocialSpark, I knew that I was at least going to try them out.

Well I have been with SocialSpark for a little over a month now. And over all I am quite pleased with what I’ve seen so far. Actually it’s a pretty easy site to join up with. Once you have signed up then you need to create a profile. In this profile you can list as many blogs as you want, name, age, marital status, likes, dislikes and employment history. The more information you provide, the better the advertisers can get to know you and decide if they want you to do work for them. If you would like to check out my profile at SocialSpark, my user name is kdarrell. I have decided to share my profile link with you so you can get a feel of what a public profile will look like. As you can see in my profile, I have friends (other bloggers and advertisers) and props (if people like your blogs or posts they can give you a prop). I don’t have a massive amount of each, but I do have enough for just starting out.

Then after setting up your profile. You can go into the system and start browsing the job market. If you like a particular opportunity then you click on it to be able to reserve it. If all the spots are filled, then you have the option of being put into a reservation when a slot becomes available. I really like this feature and have gotten quite a few opportunities this way. And while your waiting for opportunities to become available, you can go on in the system and start inviting people to be your friend.

My overall opinion of SocialSpark so far has it’s been a pretty good experience. Of course with this being a new program, there are still some kinks and bugs to be worked out. But overall it’s a pretty good company to be a part of. If you haven’t signed up for SocialSpark yet, then come on in and join us. Just let me know when you’ve joined so I can friend you. And if your in there and I’m not your friend, let me know and I’ll go in and friend you. See you all at SocialSpark.

Not a day to stay inside

Today was such a gorgeous and sunny day.  It was probably one of the best days that we have had weather wise in a very long time.  Not only was it sunny all day, but the temperatures actually hit over 19 degrees.  So I spent most of my day outside.  While the kids were in school I finished cleaning out my car.  Then when they came home I let them stay at the bus stop and play for over an hour.  Then when they got home, did their homework and had supper, it was back outside for us.  We haven’t had very many days like this so I really wanted to take advantage of this day while I could.  Hopefully we will have many more days like today.  If we do, you will see me around less as the warm sunny weather will be luring me away from the computer.

A totally different kid

When my oldest son moved out of the house a little over a year ago, he looked like a little kid and had the acne scars to prove it. I haven’t seen him since July so in my latest e-mail to him I asked him to send me a recent picture. I was amazed. He actually looks like a man now and his acne scars seem to be a thing of the past. Since he had really bad scars and they seem to be gone now I asked him how he managed to get rid of them. He told me about an amazing acne scars cream product that he found which helps to get rid of the scars. Whatever the product was, it did wonders. I can’t believe it is the same kid that left my home about a year ago.

For all you horror movie fans

There are horror movies, then there are serious horror movies. The latest one to hit the theaters will be arriving May 9 and it looks to be one of the scariest movies to hit theaters in recent years. The movie I’m talking about, is called Frontier(s).

After watching the trailer for this upcoming flick, I can honestly say that I am actually quite surprised to see that it will be shown in movie theater’s. Most movies of this graphic nature are not shown in theater’s, especially if they are unrated. The general public isn’t normally subject to a movie of this nature and critics are now wondering and debating as to why it is being allowed.

The trailer itself is not very detailed for the reason of not wanting to give away the plot before the movie starts, but it does give the viewer enough information to want to go to check their select theater listings to see when and where this movie will be available to them. But, if you are unable to go to any one of the theaters on May 9 but would still love to see it, you have the opportunity on May 13 to purchase the DVD that will be out on the market.

This is a truly a one of a kind horror flick and if your a huge horror movie fan then your not going to want to miss it. But, due to the graphic nature of this movie, viewer discretion is advised.

Going fishing

We woke up to a beautiful day outside today so we have decided that it is a perfect day to take the kids fishing.  My husband has a fishing licence, but I don’t have.  I just go for the view and the outing.  My husband and both kids have their own fishing poles so when they get down to the water, they don’t have to worry about sharing poles.  I don’t know how much fish they will catch today as the water is still quit high.  But just the experience of going fishing alone is enough excitement for them.  I wish they would catch something so we could have some fresh fish for once, but I’m not holding my breath.  But you never know.  Either way, it will still be an enjoyable day for all.

Changing jobs

So my husband has finally taken the plunge and started handing out his resume. Although he is currently employed, he hasn’t been very happy there for a very long time so he has finally decided it’s time to do something about it. The only problem with this line of thought is that he can’t stand change. So for him to make a big move such as this, he must be really unhappy.

With his line of work he needs to get a full check up from the doctor for pretty much any company that he wants to work for. The last time he was going for a different job, I was amazed at how thorough his check up needed to be. His doctor even suggested that he get a colon cleanse to ensure his over all health. But at this point I don’t think it really matter what he has to go through to change jobs, just as long as he does in fact get a different job.
