• Ok, McCain’s speech isn’t the shot out of the park that Palin delivered last night, but its a good solid double off the wall… #

300 “drops” seems to be the magic number per day. I came across a post on the EntreCard forums mentioning that one of the users had hit the upper limit of 300. I was curious to know if there was in fact a limit (it seems a little silly to have a limit when you can only drop your card once per day on a blog) and I also wanted the extra credits to buy spots on as many of the lower wait blogs as I could.

So, between work, posting and some other stuff today, I attempted to hit the number. And I did. And it wasn’t easy. I’d hit the most recent and least wait pages often and click on most of the cards and go through to their sites. I’d drop my card and I’d look and check out the quality of the blog. While I’m happy to have hit the 300 limit for the day, I don’t know I’ll make the effort, as I hit a lot of crap sites. I’ve also come to feel like a blogging minority in the fact that a) I do not speak broken English, b) I am not Pinoy or otherwise asian and c) my layout is somewhat different from the vast majority of blogs out there.

Granted, dropping this many cards should push a good bit of traffic my way…

Thats a right! Its Blogday 2007! Blogs all over the world are celebrating by letting you know about 5 of their favorite or newly discovered haunts. I’m writing about a couple I’ve been visiting for a while and some I just found out about in the past couple of weeks. Some I like for the content (19incheswide) and some I like because of the design and layout (dearcrissy) and some I just like (laurigami, which is a ton of fun to say!).

Now, with out further ado…

• Jeff Robbins - Jeffro is a friend from several years. Jeff.robbins.ws is as he puts it his “blo…websi…homepa…heap”. Jeffro talks about a myriad of subjects (transformers, computer, programming, life, his kid…) in a light and airy way that is fun to read. Plus the theme is fairly cool. He has some good coding tips on there (and a good tip about keeping fluffy out of the way). Pop in and tell him hi for me.
• Whatever I Feel Like is Amy’s (not my Amy) blog. She writes about well, whatever she feels like. She has a dog named Grace, puts up with her job and loves to travel. Plus she’s fun to read…
• Dear Crissy - the blog of a self described “27-year-old artist, photographer, and writer from Ohio”. I was originally turned on to Dear Crissy because of the theme. Lame huh? The layout and design of her site is outstanding and it all flows together rather well (dontcha think?) However, as I looked over her blog more, I discovered that she’s Fun to Read as well.
• Laurigami is one I like simply because of the domain name. Its fun to say. Try it. Say it with me… Lau-ri-ga-mi. Isn’t that fun? The site sports a cool black and blue theme, which I happen to like (I prefer the black bg white text (foreground) as it seems easier to read) though she’s considering changing it. She generally posts some good shopping finds on her site (sales, items, prices) and her other sites are fun to read as well.

• 19 Inches Wide I assume (correctly I hope) that this referres to the size of his monitor… I picked up 19 Inches from a link from a friend. Its a tech related blog, where Mouseclone posts about tech issues he’s encountered and stuff. While there is a bit of Microsoft stuff on the site, he’s not opposed to Linux as an alternative. If you like more techie stuff, 19 inches wide is a good site to keep an eye on.

Hope my five recomendations for blog day have pointed you in a new direction. Let me know what you think of them.
