Entrecard loves SezWho! Kissy kissy
The moment every Entrecard Community member has been waiting for! The news is out, the papers are rolling, and yes… Entrecard and SezWho are now officially a item.
I have been testing this new system for a while and have to say that these two individuals could not be better suited! The big problem that most people found through Entrecard was that people just powerdropped for 
credits. Well now this problems may be fixed. You can now get credits from commenting on blog posts!
I know a lot of people will moan about spam… But no need to worry because the Great King Graham has the answers that everyone wants! You can MOD your comments and stop these people from getting their filthy hands on the credits.
I hope this marrige lasts, and I hope everyone can join me in wishing these two a happy life together.
Getting started
The cool thing about this partnership is that we have a big range of blogging software to use! Not only that you have some Forum software with phpBB! I am not 100% sure but I think you may be able to get Credits through making forum posts on phpBB forums.
So make sure you get installing SezWho as soon as you can! The more of us that use it the more credits we get to use!
I have also been in touch with SezWho developers and asked if we will be able to use our 125×125 images for our comments! I was told if it is possible it will be out in a few months (Or weeks).

If your a blogger I am sure you have seen the posts floating around about my so called power trip and all these things I am meant to have done. I have so much going on in the real world that most of it has not affected me whatsoever… But some has as it has been made personal.
I will try to explain some things that happened that I believe have been misunderstood or people have got completely wrong. I would also like to use this post to say sorry to a few people.
- I never banned any forum poster.
- I moved and deleted posts that broke rules.
I believe I was in a no-win situation. If I left these posts open I would be seen as a bad MOD not doing my job, if I closed them I would offend people who wanted the posts open. I decided to look after the easy going forum posters who did not want to see aggressive posts on the forum.
A lot of people will have you believe once the Firestorm forum was open they were happy and never bothered anyone as they had their own sandpit to do what they liked in… This was not the case as they continued to post “Recruitment” style posts and would ruin perfectly good posts on the normal forum to a point no one would post there.
From here on, I want to build bridges.
I will take more advice from MOD’s and Admins from now on. I will try to think about things before acting on them, and take more time to stop this from happening again. I do accept some blame for this situation, I was new and have never modded a forum for bloggers before.
i would also like to say a big Sorry to Stan from Razzball as I never gave him credit which he deserved for coming up the consept for u drop I follow. Sorry for not doing this sooner, and sorry if I have caused any bad blood between us. Here is a link to the original post

Entrecard can pay its way
Over the last few months I have used the income from ProjectWonerful and AdSense to pay for the server for this blog and everything else needed to run this blog.
Since I have mostly dumped Google’s AdSense due to their tax issue with me I have been thinking of how to get this blog paying its way again. I have kept Project Wonderful because I enjoy having a mix of ads and I like the way it works… But as most of you know my main user base here is through Entrecard, RSS Readers and search engines.
I have decided to see if I can start earning through Entrecard credits. I believe that Entrecard is the future of the blogging scene and what we have seen so far is just the tip of what she will become. So I am going to start storing credits and see if in the future I can sell my wealth for more than I was earning through AdSense.
I do not believe in its state at the moment it will come close…. But when Entrecard takes off and becomes even bigger than it is right now I am sure the credits will be worth more. And even if they are not… I am sure ill be able to buy tons of ad-space and have some good promos.
I am also selling ad-space through the Entrecard shop. I will try to find more items to sell in the future as the shops grow and the user base grows with it. I do think that the shops will become a big part of the economy and once changed will become my biggest earner.
I would like to also do more blogging for the Entrecard blog and try to see if one day credits could be made there… But we will see.
Right now I have around 30K of credits. I have no idea what these are worth right now as I have never tried selling them before… I may do a promo very soon and give a lot of these away… But I will keep track of what I have made from this point on.
Ill keep you updated.

The Evolution of Entrecard - Is it a bad thing?
I have not been with Entrecard since the start but I have been there a long time and would call my self a regular user. As you may have read I have been having some issues with Entrecard and how it has evolved. This week we saw some new features come to light, a lot of them people have been asking for for some time:
(More info here)

ENTRECARD OFFICIAL E-BOOK

-
MULTI BLOG CONTEST - WIN 15,000 CREDITS!
-
NEW HOMEPAGE
-
NEW CAMPAIGN PAGE TABS
-
TOP DROPPERS RSS FEED
As you can see the EC Admin has been a very busy man and has done some amazing work!
But my question is: Is Entrecard evolving to fast?
I sometimes believe some things in life are meant to be simple and when you go and add loads of things it breaks… People get too much of a good thing and get sick of the taste.
Look at Google and how simple it is compared to Yahoo! and MSN. Just the basics and it works! Yahoo! has everything you could ever need but it is crammed in your face with all the bells and whistles jumping out at you… Google does have tons of features but they are never overdone and they keep to basics.
I think this “Add more blogs” is a bad idea. They are pushing this with the contest so more people will sign up… But this will then cause a lot of spam sites popping up and more credits in the economy… Will these credits just be given for adverts? I don’t think so… You will get farms pop-up as now it is more easy to drop… and be DROPPED ON.
I know this feature has been asked for a million times on the forums and it has been needed….
Maybe this is just me getting old and moaning about change… if it is then just move on… But if this is overdoing it with Entrecard then it could be the tipping point for some people.

Entrecard Burnout
Like many follow Entrecarders when I first joined I thought “Credits = real money” and “I want to be at the top!”. To do this you really need to drop around 200-300 cards a day. Not only that you need to drop them at good reasonable times and try to keep a list of your normal droppers.
This takes a lot of time. Not only do you need to drop the cards on every one of the 300 blogs, you also need to make the lists and try to comment and read some of the posts. I know the reading and commenting is a rule most people do not follow and that is ok… I do not expect 300 droppers to read all 300 blogs.
After a few weeks of this you start to feel great because your at the top of your group and you can see them credits rolling in… But then you do not want to give up that #1 spot and you know you need to keep dropping and dropping at the correct times. This is when the burnout starts! You get sick of the drop pages (Or bookmarks and inbox) and you get sick of scanning the blogs for the entrecard widget.
I have sometimes scanned a page 3 times and not seen the entrecard widget which is staring me in the face… this is when you know your coming to the end of the road and need a break.
The only problem with a break is you know you will lose a lot of of what you have built up. Your position will undoubtly fall in your category and you may also lose your place on some peoples lists. This is what may keep you going for another week or so…

Final Fantasy VII: Remake?
** SPOILERS WARNING **
Maybe this is old news to everyone and I have heard the rumours for many many years now. The reason I make this post is because I just completed Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core and stuck with it till the end of the credits. At the end you see Cloud and Aerith in what is a semi remake of the Final Fantasy 7 intro. The intro has Cloud saying “I am Cloud, SOLDIER First class”.
Another reason I think there may be a remake is there was so many unanswered questions. There was a unknown 4 year gap in which a lot could have happened. There were people who had unfinished tales (Maybe it was just me not fully completing the game though) and most of all, Millions of fans want it done!
I know it would be the sole selling point for me buying a PlayStation 3 as no other games have the pulling power of the Final Fantasy Series for me and many other OLD gamers. They also have many die hard fans who have grown up and have stopped playing 90% of the games that we used to play. The only games that have any selling power for me now are Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid games., I do enjoy the GTA and a few other big names… But they would not have my buy a console just to play them.
My Brother owns a Xbox 360 and most the time it is just sat idle doing nothing. The only time he ever plays it is when a new game comes out and then it lasts a week or two till he gets bored… Which is why I think the 360 has failed… It has no other uses unlike the PS3 which has the Blue Ray player.
But anyway, does anyone have any confirmation of Final Fantasy 7/VII remake? And if so… Will it be an exact remake or a whole new side to the stories we may have missed.
