Just wanted to thank you for being a great commenter and award you 200 EC's. I think you deserve at least that much for putting up with all my Posting here. I appreciate it.

Something To think about. I find this just a little scary.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I always on the lookout for a Good freeware Site.

Update Feb 08, 2009: Having no response from any one in Entrecard, I am officially pulling the life support. I'm sorry Mike. It's not working out like we had planned.

Update November 9th, 2008: I am just about to pull the plug on this. It just hasn't gone anywhere. Oh well, I tried.

I have been working to make a present of sorts for the Entrecard Group, of which I am one. I am hoping that it will be a special place for Bloggers that belong to Entrecard.

What it is briefly Is a group WIKI that only E-card members in good standing will be allowed in. I hope for it to be a play ground of sorts for all those Hard working Bloggers after a hard day blogging, or maybe before they begin, or during. I don't really care.

I know this much, Its a WIKI, so the creative juices could really create something spectacular here. As you know, or maybe not, There are some very creative individuals utilizing Entrecard. And the Potential, which Is what I try to focus on, well, lets just say the sky is the limit. That and there is nothing else out there like this for Entrecarders.

Joining will be a bit tricky. I have to be able to maintain some control over this thing, for WIKI's have a way of getting totally out of hand if left to their own devices. So, it is by invitation only, But every Entrecarder is going to get invited. See, a very selective process.

There will be nothing done with your data. Nothing will be sold or offered or allowed to escape as far as I have control over it. Also, if you want, you can quit at any time. And If not completely satisfied, you will get a full refund of your entry price, which is free.

Have a great day.

Questions and Answers

1.) Sounds interesting, please send me an invite to ****@*******per.org.uk anyway, but I would like some more information. are you talking about people being able to alter my website or blog?

A.) Nothing of yours would be altered in any way. No, the altering would take place with the Group WIKI, so it can become what Entrecarders would want it to be. A wiki can be edited in many different ways. It can be very fluid and flexible or can be locked down to where there is no editing at all. It also keeps track of former versions, so edits can be undone quite easily.

It is a very unique setup and can be very versatile. I am just waiting to see where this goes. So far I have been the only one doing the editing and creating. I think there is a pretty good beginning there and just need it to be shaped and formed and such.

2.) Man, I don't even know what a Wiki is. Are you talking about like a listserve or something?

A.) Have you ever been to wikipedia? That is a wiki. What I envision with this Entrecard Group WIKI is like a huge Table with a lot of newspaper on it and next to the table is a large lump of real nice clay.

Somebody comes along and builds a little castle with some of the clay and then paints it all yellow. Some one else comes along and paints two of the towers a pretty purple. Then someone thinks Lakers and adds a small Basket ball court to the back of the castle all made out of clay.

Then next to the castle on the table some one makes a bust of Ringo Starr. Some one else says to heck with that and Makes a bust of Conway Twitty next to Ringo.

So I could go on and on, but the table would be the WIKI and the clay would be the Info you add to it to make yours and yet it is part of the table.

Yet, you can comeback if you want, and take the clay off, cause of the newspaper. Then you lay down fresh newspaper and start all over again.

3.) Yeah. Okay. So that sounds good. Except I don't know enough about EntreCard to build anything. I can't even figure out the stinkin' dashboard half the time.

A.) Ok, your getting the feel for it. That is part of the beauty of this. It doesn't have to do anything with Entrecard. It has to do with you. Your likes and dislikes and what moves you. You can start a section devoted to music or your kids or your great Aunt Edna or your love of Orchids or maybe you enjoy Chevy Trucks.

This isn't a blog, but it could be if you want.

That's another beauty of this whole thing, You can start your own WIKI as well if you want. You let me know the address and I add the link to the fray and people can come and visit your Own WIKI.

There is just a ton of freedom with this and a whole world of Creativity to explore, if you want.

Part of this is an inside Blogging thingy so if you don't blog, you may not understand.

I have for a while routinely been checking and posting at E-Card Forum. I have been using E-card for a while now and it has worked out quite well for me. I suggest you give it a try, if your not already doing so.

Anyway, I had Buzzed a blog post yesterday (this is the part you may not get if your not a hip blogger such as my self - yeah right.) Buzz is a thingy that Yahoo has going on that allows for post from blogs or websites to be rated sort of and allowed to rise to the top of the heap and may get to the front page of Yahoo. Yahoo!

So I checked in on the E-card Forum and here is ê¿ê (yes that is her is signature) and she is thanking me for buzzing her.

The conversation goes something like this:

ê¿ê : "Beamer buzzed my post! He's my new huny!

That was my very first buzz (just succumbed to adding the tacky button today)

Thanks, Beamer!

ê¿ê

(oops! just noticed I'm logged in on one of the other blogs -- it wasn't this blog that he buzzed but the OTHER one -- you know which one!)"

fragileheart.com | journal :"lol Margaret; sure work my memory why don't you!
Congrats on the buzz!"

Wisdom Hypnosis : "Beamer Buzzes?"

Superficial Gallery : "wtf is a buzz?"

No Democrats : "What in the H are you talking about any how ?"

(See Your not the only one that isn't a hip blogger.)

ê¿ê "Ok -- go read the EntreCard Blog 0--- or look down in community for a Graham post about changing blogging blah blah -- Yahoo! Buzz is the new Digg.

I just put the ugly button on my site (not this one I know I'm still logged in as the Reader) and he was the first one to buzz a post.

Sorry if I got carried away, but it's my first, you see.....

ê¿ê

ô¿ô"

(I am basically Laughing out loud by now.)

Wisdom Hypnosis : "OK, you convinced me, I got a buzz!"

She Lives : "A good buzz sounds pretty good about now."

Beamer : "Rotfl

Thanks I needed that.

Yes, I am a part Time Bee.

too Funny.

Beamer"

So here I am literally laughing out loud and my wife is making an appearance, trying unsuccessfully to wake up.

Me: "Hello."
In between guffaws of laughter.

Wife : "Whut's so funny?"

Me, pointing at the monitor, trying to gain some kind of control: "It's a bloggin' thing."

Wife :"Ok."

Me: "Good Morning."

Wife : "Harumph."

Me : "What?"

Wife: "I love the way My brain works."


She went on to tell me how she had heard Chrissy Meowing in her sleep. So, instead of waking up to see what it was the cat wanted, she dreamy of a Guinea pig nuzzling her. When she awoke in her dream, there were all kinds of small furry animals in bed with her, jumping on her, Gerbils, hamsters and such. She awoke for reals to find Chrissy standing on her chest, meowing at her.


Damn, Now I'm In trouble. She has awaken enough to realize I am posting about her waking up and telling me this stuff.

Hep me.
