Entrecard Toolbar
Last week I was exploring the Entrecard Blog a little. I visited the blog, poked around, and what should I find? There is an Entrecard Toolbar for Firefox! How on earth did I not know about this?
I had pondered on more than one occasion, "Just how do people drop so many cards in one day? Do they have nothing else to do?" Well, the answer is clear as crystal now! They use the Entrecard Toolbar for Firefox. I installed it immediately, and I am a dropping fool...so to speak...now. I just love it! I can find so many more blogs in a much more efficient manner. AND, I can reach my maximum drops of 300 in less than an hour. However, I do get sidetracked every now and then. It is so much more fun to explore the vast abundance and variety of blogs out there now.
Another way I like to explore member blogs is to visit a member site, click on the Entrecard that is currently on their site. See where it takes you, and continue doing it from site to site until you find an Entrecard that you've already dropped on. Try it sometime. It really can be fun and interesting.
Take a minute to install the Entrecard Toolbar for Firefox and see what you have been missing. (Of course, you need to be using Firefox to do so.) It is such an awesome way to find fellow Entrecarders and read what they are writing about. There is such a vast array of blogs, topics, styles, and information! Searching and reading what everyone is working on is inspirational and informative. Have fun dropping your card!

Thanks for the tip! I especially like the idea of clicking through from site to site... :o)
Yeah, you are welcome! I enjoy blogging so much more now. What a different experience it has become for me. Thanks for stopping by!
I use the Entrecard toolbar too--I like it because I can easily add new sites to my favorites or advertise on sites as I visit.
A friend of mine total me about the Entrecard tool bar. It's wonderful. It really makes dropping faster.
I've also wondered how people can drop 300 cards a day. Thanks for the help. Also congratulations on twins. I too am a mom of twins. They're 11 years old now!
Karen - Great point! That is another wonderful feature that I failed to mention in my post. I love that about it as well.
Jill - Thanks for the congrats. This has been one wild ride, and it continues to get more and more interesting. The babies could be here within the next few weeks. I am sure that will mean a road trip to Indiana from our home in Michigan for a visit. Not to mention her oldest will be turning three the end of February. Birthdays all around!
i love using the tool bar too. :D
I used the entrecard toolbar, and found it was faster and easier just to use Google Chrome and go through your drop box. I did like that you could purchase ads right form the toolbar though.
DragonBlogger - I've never heard of Google Chrome. I'll have to look into that. Although, through the Entrecard Toolbar you do have the option to go through your ads inbox. That is nice so that you make sure you are returning drops.
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks so much for this post! I'll be adding it tomorrow AM!
I love the EntreCard toolbar (and FireFox), but I don't use it to do my drops...which is probably why I barely reach 100 drops a day - forget about 300! LOL!! I tend to do the other thing you do - click on an add in the EntreCard box that I'm dropping on and see where it goes. :) I have found so many cool blogs out there from exploring through EntreCard! :)
My wife at Junkfoodaholic.com can do 300 drops in 30 minutes.
Gotta be some sort of record!
I love the toolbar. Thank you for telling me about it.
Paul - Yeah, I think you are right! Talk about speed demon. :-)>
