Entrecard Down and a Friend Award

Fri, Oct 10, 2008

Dear Diary, Entrecards

Is Entrecard down again?? All my favorite blogs are listed there in my favorites and inbox, and I can’t remember their urls (I know you guys by your ads, isn’t that awful!). Ugh. I know that Entrecards has been having some problems again. I went to the library to do some speed dropping (the library has a better web connection) and could barely get 200 dropped because EC was having problems. That was, uh, three or four days ago! I can’t even access anything today- the EC home page is completely blank. Nuts. I was on a roll, too, working on 300 a day for this blog. How can I cope without my EC?! I’ll have to go through my cookie recipes and bake all day or something…

Well, I can comfort myself with a really cool award I just got! :D

This award is special one. It’s an award of friendship an appreciation. Thank you, Cy at Money Saving Pro, for giving me this award! You are a dear friend. The words are in Portuguese and mean, “This blog invests and believes, the proximity” (meaning, that blogging makes us ‘close’ -being close through proxy). That’s so true! I’ve have found so many terrific blogs and made some really great friends. It’s been amazing! Thank you, dear friends. :) I’ll try to keep the list *short* and limit it to those who regularly comment here. I love reading your comments– thanks for making my day!

Now, please don’t feel like you have to write a post about this award or continue the meme. Just know that you are loved. :D Thanks for being my friend.

    Oh ya, EC is down… it seems this is becoming the usual state now. I guess I can be happy I am in a different timezone and I am rarely effected as I drop in morning when it’s night in the US – the favorite EC downtime ;-)

    Thank you so much for passing this award on us! :-) Awards always get us happy ;-)

    PS: Just saw it’s back up again. So hurry before it’s too late and EC is going down again ;-)

    You’re the best! I love that you wrote, regarding passing the award, that others shouldn’t feel compelled. That is a nice touch and I will remember that. Blog awards don’t always work into every blogger’s strategy or site. I wrestled with that and it didn’t dawn on me to just make that simple addendum. I look forward to visiting these sites and meeting new bloggers.

    Wow! A Portuguese Award!
    “This blog invests and belives in proximity” is a very cool friendship award.
    Thanks so much!
    I love reading your posts too, as I said somewhere, reading my fav Entrecard blogs is a part of my daily dose of good humor, thanks for being so up, it passes to us.
    I´ll sure blog about this award. Cheers!

    Upss… Sorry for the typo, I´ll correct: EC was down for me too
    :)

    EC has been crazy for the past 3 days now. Don’t know what the heck is going on. Was lucky to drop 20 cards today, and then, back to nothingness!

    Hey, I picked you up by Googling “Entrecard Down?” Gotta just love that search engine indexing! ;)

    I know Entrecard has been a total nightmare. I thought it was just my pc b/c my modem and my landline phone has been down too but I guess it was the combination of the two.

    Thank you for the beautiful friend award. I am so honored. I will definitely blog about it. I have a few blog posts I haven’t been able to post b/c of my modem. It seems to work only at night for some strange reason. The only problem is I get so exhausted at night.. I am here now answering emails and stuff but I am going to bed real soon.

    Have a great week Rebecca!
