Free 2000 Entrecard Today!
Today is the last day of the month in my country, my birthday month. As I’ve mentioned to June is linkylove birthday month, the top commentator of the month will received a simple token of appreciation from this blog. As I’ve write that entry, I’m planning to give entrecard credit which is 2000 plus a link to this post. I didn’t mentioned that because I don’t know how much would be my credit on the last day of the month.
If the top commentator is not an entrecard user or not yet… better sign-up now or the credits remains to charity. LOL! Entrecard guide ebook is available for new users, download the ebook in PDF or repligo format.
Anyway, there are 16 hours left, you can check here the timezone in your location. Comments are always moderated, relevant comment means approved comment and no spamming please. You can also check my temporary comment policy.
The Death Of Entrecard Power Drop
My entrecard code is on my maintenance page, I’m activating it once or twice a month when I’m editing my template. I guess, its the perfect example of a blank page with entrecard widget. Since quick drop is illegal now, rules are rules so I removed the entrecard code. Although I don’t want to miss a single drop when I’m on maintenance mode, better remove it than get penalized.
IMPORTANT: If you currently have a “Quick Drop” page a.k.a. “Power Drop” page, you must take it down by July 1, 2008.
Starting July 1st, we will be going through a massive list of quick drop pages we have amassed. Accounts will be permanently closed on-sight if the quick drop pages are still active. Requests to be reinstated will be ignored. Credits will be permanently lost.
In addition to that, sorry to my co-reciprodroppers for removing the list on my blogroll. I guess, only top droppers will be link on my post. i guess, its also illegal using our list because droppers will also be penalized by July 1.
Thumbs up for Entrecard for implementing this. Hoping for a better entrecard community in the future. To those who didn’t received the email, click here for more details.
Create A Website With Less Effort
There are many reasons why anybody would want to build a website, the common reason is selling their products or services online. And for beginners who want to venture on eCommerce but not knowledgeable about web design, a simple solution is to hire a web developer. Since its a new business, I don’t think its appropriate when its possible to create a website in no time.
There are various free web templates available but we are not sure if the templates are optimized for search engines. You might find a free website template suitable for your site but would you gamble your site and time for not having it optimized for search engines? Let me clear that SEO (search engine optimization) is a big factor on driving prospective customers on your site. No need to worry when we can find help on how to build a website.
We should also consider the professional layout suitable to our site contents. A prospective client will have an impression of a “fly by night” travel site if the site use a technology template, right? Also, an obvious mistake some site did was they did not consider their loading time. As a prospective client and reader myself, I instantly leave the site for its poor loading time. A website builder is the best solution not for new web entrepreneurs but to all site owners who have limited html knowledge.
Favicon For WordPress And Blogspot
If I wasn’t mistaken, it was two months ago when I setup my favicon at my personal blog, glitchline but I’m sure that I’ve also changed the favicon of this blog. Since it was summer and school vacation, I guess I forgot to correct the link to my php file of this blog. A comment noticed that I’m still using the “default” favicon and I’ve fix it now.
What is favicon anyway? Favicon (pronounced fav-eye-con) is short for “Favorites Icon”. It is a small image or icon before the URL at the address line just like the encirled favicons at the image shown below. Every opened tab also displayed a favicon before the link, same with the bookmark toolbar (using Mozilla Firefox).
Favicon is also visible to saved bookmarks as shown below. Most websites are using favicon. Sometimes, I don’t need to read the link from my bookmarks, the favicon help me recognize faster the link I was looking for.
Its not advisable to change favicon unless needed. Like logo, it is your trademark associated with your site and contents, decide first what favicon suited for your site. After choosing the image, use the favicon generator. Click the animate favicon and input text if you want. Download and save the file to your computer.
For WordPress:
- Upload the favicon.ico file to your web host using FTP or your file manager. I’ve upload it to upload folder so that I will not lose the file just in case I want to change my template. You can also upload it to other file host, don’t forget to take note of the link.
- Go to wordpress admin panel, theme editor and open header.php
- Edit the file by adding this code:
* Don’t forget to edit the favicon.ico link - Save header.php
- Refresh the page to see the result.
For Blogspot:
- Upload the favicon.ico file to any file host you want. I don’t suggest to upload it to blogger because there were times that some of my upload images are missing after some time. You can make an account at xthost (it is free). Upload the image there and take note of the link.
- Go to Blogger dashboard – layout – edit HTML
- At the top part of the html after [head], add this code:
* Don’t forget to edit the favicon.ico link - Save template then view blog.
Its easy, right?
Paypal Verified My EON Card
Finally, I have my UnionBank EON Visa activated and my Paypal account is verified already. Although, I’m hoping that I can use my own paypal to renew my host, I didn’t make it on time. Thanks to Marikenya for helping me on my host renewal using her Paypal.
The branch I choose near my place was not UnionBank anymore, it is IBank or International Bank, they’ve merged. The UnionBank site should informed us regarding that before hand so that we will not choose the branch or look for a bank which is not actually there. How about calling the Customer Service Hotline?
