DUMP ENTRECARD

Entrecard has beeN somewhat productive for driving traffic to my blogs but it has also been a pain in the rear.

A person can spend more time dropping than he does doing real productive work. They have been ok up to now with the way they handled paid ads allowing each site to decide to have them or not.

They have driven the last nail in their coffin by telling me that 15% of all ads will be paid on my site unless I pay them $50 fee.

It is my site and I can do it cheaper that paying them $50. I CAN DO IT BY DUMPING THEM AND ENCOURAGING EVERYONE ELSE TO DO SO. MAYBE THEY WILL RETHINK.


ENTRECARD IS GONE AS OF NOW.

Successful Tailgating!

Willy has found the formula for successful tailgating!

• Good Spot - War Memorial Stadium
• Good equipment - Weber Grill - good chairs - satellite dish - flat screen - covered area
• Good friends - not just those that want the beverage you furnish - but those that bring to share
  
• Good beverages - ice tea - water - cola and that other stuff that folks drink

If you don't have most of these - Willy finds that it works real well to have:

• living room
• recliner
• flat screen
• pizza delivery
• good friends
