Great list. And that is so true, it doesn't do any good to join these places unless you are active in them. But it is tough trying to do everything necessary. Just have to keep plugging along.
Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy and Healthy New year.

@Dave DeWall - it's so great that you've managed to cut down your drop time so drastically. I am glad that I was able to help with that. It's great to have you back on Entrecard. I will add you back to the drop list on my next update. Always a pleasure to see a comment from you.

Hi Blog Angel, thanks for the list, I will check them out. I'm sure you have noticed I am back on Entrecard. I have cut my 300 card drop time from 6 hours! to 1.5 hrs. thanks to some tips from you and new programs my computer tech guy put in. Entrecard really helps increase the traffic, and I met a lot of bloggers like yourself and Glenn at ManOverBoard who have been so helpful. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Joella,

Your new look is great! Congratulations on a very successful remake.

I wanted to add a couple of options to your Blog Review resources. First, you may remember that I have offered Free Blog Reviews on my site. My purpose is to to provide a two-way benefit. I learn from the things I see, and hopefully provide some assistance through my perspectives. I have a good backlog, but always looking for more.

Lately though, I have expanded that to include a place for people to tell the "back story" behind their blog badges. The 125x125 pixel badge that is so prevalent on the Internet is a unique calling card that in most cases, has a story behind it. In the same spirit of two-way benefits, I get to showcase a blogger's badge, tell their story, and learn something at the same time.

In either case, I simply ask the blogger to post about their reaction to the review or the badge post and link back to me.

If you feel these might be of value to your readers, I'd appreciate it if you would share.

Best regards,

Dave

@Dave Wiederrich - Wow this is really freaky. I was just thinking about you a couple of days ago and thinking we should exchange guest posts again.

Thanks for the compliment in the new look. Still have some minor tweaking to do, but all in all I am very happy with the site. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback, especially about the color scheme.

I have a post coming up about other ways to promote one's blog and I will add you and your reviews and badge back story options. Great thing for you to do, will make sure my readers know about it.

Joella:

Wishing you, your family and all your readers a very Happy Holiday from your friends at Man Over Board :-)

Thanks for everything these past few months, our MOB Angel

@Man Over Board - all the best to you and yours this Holiday Season as well. And my thanks to you for all your support and encouragement.

Very useful information
Hope you have a great Christmas and holiday!

@VanillaSeven - thank you for the holiday wishes. Glad you found the post useful.

Blessed Birthday Joella! Hope you find your bumming day satisfying

Thanks for the list, it's always nice to know new free promotion tools. From the list above, I only join EC, blog catalog and fuel my blog. So, I still have many to go

@Online Dating Tips - Good for you. But don't join too many communities. Just as many as you can stay active in. Remember it's participation that counts - don't spread yourself too thin, having a high profile on just 2 or 3 communities is better than joining every one you can find, but not having time to participate in them all! Find the ones that suit you best and enjoy them.

@VanillaSeven - thank you for the birthday wishes. I had a great day.

Thanks for the post, I've never heard of Linknami before and I just checked them out and they look pretty good.
Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year,
Brad
