The Tales of Beedle the Bard - The New Harry Potter Book!!!

OMGZ HARRY POTTER

I was just having a browse around Amazon and noticed a BIG banner advertising The Tales of Beedle the Bard! The last I read it would be sold at aution to a sole owner… So I guess JK has seen how many fans she would annoy and decided to sell it.

She has given two versions of the book… One of which you can ONLY buy at Amazon! It looks amazing and will surely be worth a bit in the future (Ill be buying one for sure)

Both versions have all five fairy tales from the original The Tales of Beedle the Bard  by J.K. Rowling.

This The Tales of Beedle the Bard, Collector’s Edition (Offered Exclusively by Amazon) comes with loads of extras like the bag with JKs name on and a big book style box to keep your collectors version inside. I do not know if id dare to read this one… So i think ill buy myself a £4 version along with it

Of the best things about this version is that £20 GBP per unit from the sale of the Collector’s Edition from Amazon.co.uk will be donated to The Children’s Voice Campaign.

They are also selling aThe Tales of Beedle the Bard, Standard Edition that is being sold much more cheaper! I think this is what will be sold in most stores.

I am sure these books will add yet more amazing back story for the Harry Potter fans (Like myself). It is what everyone has been waiting for… But what makes it even better that that JK is donating so much to The Children’s Voice Campaign.

I would normally say that I hope this will do well… But we all know it will be #1 and get everyone reading again
I just hope we see more treats like this in the future Read more »

Scoutle is your personal blogging slave!

Scoutle is a new blogging tool that follows in the footsteps of sites such as Entrecard and Spottt. It does have a twist to it that is unlike the others though. With Entrecard you need to spend a lot of time dropping card and promoting your blog… But with Scoutle you have a tiny little slave to do all of the work for you!

Meet your Scout (I call mine Nicole) and she walks around my fave blogs who also use Scoutle! She finds all the interesting posts I may like and send them to my widget on my blog.

All I do is find new blogs I like and get Nicole to say hi for me. She will then go walking around all of my fave blogs and meet other Scouts and as she talks to them she finds out new things.

Here is a video that tries to explain how everything works:

I have only been with this network for a week and have found some cool sites. It has a nice ranking system that I have not totally worked out yet though I am told that they are working on a new version of Scoutle that should be out soon!

One cool thing I really liked about Scoutle is that you can sign up using OpenID. This is one of the first networks I have seen do this, which is awesome!

When you sign up (Do it now to get more points!) please remember to add me to your network!

Add me to your connections!

Here is some info from the Scoutle website:

1. Sign Up & Login

Sign up, activate your account and login.

2. Create a Scout and let him walk

Your Scout is your personal webcrawler. He will walk over the Internet and meet other Scouts. To help your Scout walk, give him some space by installing the small Stage on your website. This will not only activate your Scout, but will also bring other Scouts to your website.

3. Check & Connect

The Scouts your Scout will meet are selected based on a range of criteria, like interests, networks, connections and more. Be sure to check his results every now and then, visit the websites and if you find them interesting, start a Connection. This will help your website become more valuable.

4. Grow & More

You will not only see more visitors come to your website, but you will also get more points, which means your website is more appreciated. Discover all other options Scoutle has to offer. Create or join Networks or search in the Guide. Of course, new options will be available in the future as well. A new way of browsing the Internet is born!

HAVE FUN!!!

AdSense VS Project Wonderful UPDATE: 2

The long overdue update on the AdSense vs PW is here (Thanks Mack for remding me).

This is a tiny test I have been running for a month or two. It has been a test that I will continue to keep updated and fingers crossed I update more than I have so far

Here are the rusults:

• Project Wonderful: $7.20
• Adsense: $41.20ish (Cant put full amount due to TOS)

As you can see Adsense has really taken over in the race. You can argue that Adsense is getting more space and better placement… Which it is. But I do have a softspot for Project Wonderful as I see it part of the Entrecard community now. It is earning for it spot and is also keeping new ads placed on this blog without me taking much time to update.

I am looking for new and better ad companies because something with AdSense just bugs me., but its staying for now.

I will ad that I have spent $10 on adspace using AdWords which uses Google search for keywords. It works great but I still do not fully understand it.
