Why have I been wasting my life dropping Entrecards with Firefox when there is Opera?!?! I used Opera to drop cards today and it took me a little over an hour to do 300. with Firefox, it takes me 3-4 hours!!! I always get the widget missing, or the page doesn’t load and then I have to keep reloading and reloading, or Firefox will just crash on me.
I used Opera and not once did the browser crash! I had to reload only TWO times for 300 drops, and widgets didn’t show up on about 5 blogs. I was awed. It’s fast, it’s easy! And when I clicked on a widget (yes, I’m a widget-clicker), the new page actually LOADED. That almost NEVER happened with Firefox. Wow. I think I love Opera. Do they have promotional pens, ‘cuz I’d sure pass ‘em around. The only thing I don’t like about Opera is that the skin is ugly and that the scrolling is a little jerky. I’m working on that.
I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.

like you, i am also using Opera for my browsing and dropping entrecards. It’s really fast.

I’ve never dropped 300 in a day, I think I’m good if I drop 30!

OK..I am seriously not getting it. How do you drop 300? Even thirty is daunting to me because of the time commitment. I think I am doing something wrong. Would you care to share the basics and I mean basics of navigating Entrecard and getting to the sites to drop efficiently? I must be doing something wrong
Thanks

Salleh, we ought to get the word out!
Lady and Julia– well, I have been on bed rest for a few weeks, so I have the time to drop. :-p
I use the Inbox to drop from, and then I go to my favorite blogs. I also read very fast. :D

hmmm, that’s interesting. I don’t have problems with firefox (and today, I think it was more an entrecard/sezwho problem) but I do see a few folks use Opera when I look at my server stats.
Something to consider, for sure.

Okay…I installed Opera and will give it a try when Entrecards is back up and running. It’s been all goofed up this afternoon and not allowing us to drop cards. I did a few this morning but I should have finished it then.
