Snoskred – Life in the Country

There’s a new trend taking over the blogosphere just lately. It’s called Entrecard. I’ve joined up and put the widget on my site, and have seen a healthy increase in new visitors to the site.

Sephy wrote a great post that tells you how to get started with Entrecard, and Ben Barden wrote a fantastic post – Blogging Networks – Entrecard – which gives you plenty of info about how to use it and what Entrecard is all about.

Entrecard has inspired me to get back into visiting blogs again rather than using an RSS reader, which can only be a good thing I think. You might want to check it out – at the very least put the widget on your site so people can drop by and leave their card. If you have a card and you haven’t dropped by my site, the widget is now in my sidebar, so leave your card!

A Happy New Year to all my readers.

Song of the day will return tomorrow – I took a day off today.

Have you been over to the Aussie Bloggers forums yet? If not, we’re having a lot of fun there, so don’t miss out..

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks and I have to say my email inboxes are becoming a major problem for me – I just can’t keep on top of everything.

Last week Lightening sent me an Out Of Your Niche post. I got so busy late last week I totally forgot to post it.

Then this week Sandy from Fighting Fatigue sent me an Out Of Your Niche post. I was going to post them both yesterday but again, I totally forgot.

Today I am going to post both of them and I deeply apologise. I am going to find a way to get on top of all of this – a habit to get into so I can find things in my inboxes. I also have to go back to shutting down my email and focusing on what I’m doing because I keep getting interrupted with new emails and I drop what I’m doing to tackle those. The main reason for that is because I want to be able to help those I am hosting with their issues and problems as soon as they contact me, but this isn’t working out. Especially when I’m getting 50+ emails a day!

So if I don’t reply to your email right away please be patient. There’s only one of me. I do type fast, but there’s a lot to cover sometimes.

At this point in time Snoskred no longer has time to write paid reviews, and so you’ll notice a few changes to the disclosure policy which can be found in the beautiful graphic bar which runs across the top of the page there. I’m not saying this is a permanent change, just that right now given all the work involved in hosting blogs for people, creating graphics and moving blogs etc I simply don’t have the time or energy to do paid reviews.

Graphics

There is a new page in the navigation bar called Graphics. At the moment this contains a set of gorgeous (even if I say so myself) metallic RSS icons which are available for ya’all to download and use. More RSS icons will be coming, probably in color packs like greens, blues, pinks, reds, etc. You’ll notice in there that I mention creating header graphics for blogs – I do that for free if you’re hosting a blog with me, but if anyone wants one for their blog that I’m not hosting I’m happy to put it together for a small cost.

WordPress Blog Hosting

There is also a page up there for WordPress Blog Hosting, with a bit more info about what is included.

Advertise

In order to make room for these pages the Advertise page had to go. If anyone has queries about advertising just use the contact form to get in touch.

Back To The WordPress Training Wheels

It’s been a crazy few days here at Chalet Snoskred. I wanted to take a moment to make those changes to the pages today and also to make those RSS icons available to everyone. Hopefully I’ll be able to put together some more WordPress Training Wheels posts this week.

Any Requests?

Is there anything specific that people want a WordPress Training Wheels post written about? Say so in the comments.
