In my ongoing search to learn more about the blogosphere I joined Entrecard today.  Simply said, Entrecard is a blogging network designed to exchange free advertising between blogs, drive traffic to your blog, encourage comments between bloggers and to meet others throughout the blogosphere.

I had noticed those little Entrecard boxes in the sidebars of blogs but never knew what they were about until I headed over to the site and took the tour.  I’m still experimenting with it and learning my way around, but so far it seems fun - and there are quite a few Christian/homeschooling type blogs that participate if you dig for them.

Today Entrecard announced the release of their free e-book for Entrecarder’s; free for anybody to download, explaining the ins, outs and basics of carding at http://entrecard.com/static/entrecard_official_ebook.pdf.  To quote their blog:

Our free ebook has arrived for everyone to download! If you’re new to Entrecard, and wondering what to do first, this E-Book will guide you along the way. And if you’re an intermediate or advanced user, it’s packed full of strategies you can use to get the absolute most from our service. Download from the link above.

They have also newly introduced the ability to add multiple blogs to the same account (we only have one so far).  Sounds easy to do, and I actually saw the link in my own dashboard, AND if you do add additional blogs the good folks at Entrecard will enter you in their prize contest of 15,000 Entrecard credits - woohoo, think of the advertising you could do then!

Here’s what they have to say:

Today we rolled out a feature everyone has been asking us for since we launched:
the ability to add more than one blog to an account!

Starting today, you can add all your blogs to Entrecard simply by going to your Dashboard and clicking “Linked Blogs” in your Dashboard navigation.

You will be able to choose whether to link your account with another EXISTING account, or to register a NEW BLOG with Entrecard, and automatically link it to your account.

You can switch from one blog to another, and drop or advertise as either one, from the very top right of your Entrecard screen. Where your email address is displayed there will be a link to “switch” to another account of yours.

Add just one more blog to your account, and you’re automatically entered to win 15,000 credits!

So, if you decide to start Entrecarding, look me up and we can exchange “drops”, and I’ll add you to my favourites!
