Are you a SocialSpark member and an Entrecard member?Drew, from The Ben Sparks created the SocialCardster blogroll of bloggers who are members of both, in order for us to drop our cards on fellow posties, read their posts and if possible, comment.

SocialSpark is a brand new IZEA site and is very, very exciting! I am an Alpha tester, as are approximately 120 others, and our job is to find glitches, mistakes, test the advertising opportunities on our blogs and report errors. It’s very interesting to be part of this community and I’ve made many new friends, such as Drew, who does a great job as an ambassador for SocialSpark.

If you are already a SocialSpark member, please drop over to Drew’s SocialCardster page to have a look to see if you are on the blogroll. You can install the blogroll on your site very easily and start dropping your Entrecard on the posties blogs. I hope you’ll join us!

Please go over to Wet Coast Woman to read Lisa’s loving reaction to her 2 year olds plea for a foot massage - it’s heartwarming and one of the sweetest stories of Mommyism I’ve read in a long time.

… how to obtain the ‘Label Cloud‘? You can see it on my sidebar - it shows the labels of my various posts and the number of posts I’ve written (and labeled of course). The label for PPP is largest as I’ve done more of those than say the Awards label - of which I’ve only received one - poor me Once the cloud is up and working you may make changes if you wish.

I didn’t understand how the cloud worked or what it was about until Kai from The Buzz Queen explained it, and where she found the directions. If she hadn’t said she was able to install it to her Blogger blog the first time she tried, I might have been hesitant to try it as I’m not always that good at following directions exactly.

The directions were fairly easy to follow - if you are familiar with with your html layout - and sure enough of your accuracy in cutting and pasting code. I followed the directions step by step - making sure I understood exactly what was meant before beginning (such as ‘you must have some posts labeled already‘.

MOST IMPORTANT: Back up your template when it is first suggested!!! Seriously…

Let me know if you try it - and if you like it.

… WHAT IS IN OWL PUKE?

Mo from “It’s a Blog Eat Blog World” opened his new online store and has tons of great products for sale.

If you are looking for a fun gift for a boy (over then Owl Puke is probably about the best thing you could possibly buy! It is a genuine Owl Puke Pellet, ready to be dissected - and guess what might be in it?

You’ll have to go take a look at The Wren’s Nest to find out!

Michelle from Once Upon a Time likes to play games!

First the little s**t disturber asks if we can name all our previous, um, exes - in chronological order. Now that could really get a person in BIG trouble. Then she calls US a bunch of perverts!

Now she has a new game - she wants to wrestle in jello - what kind of person would think of that? I’m telling you - it could only be Michelle…

So, here is her post:

HAHHA….I loved your answers on my last post!! You are all wild and crazy women!!

So… Since it’s international women’s day today (did you all know that?) I have a game for all the ladies. Sorry boys. You must sit this one out. Sucks to be you.

Girls, when you leave a comment on this post, I will reply with these 5 things about you:

1. I will tell you what song makes me think of you.
2. I will tell you what tatoo I think would suit you.
3. I will tell you my first opinion of you.
4. I will tell you the color or flavor of jello that I’d wrestle you in.
5. I will give you a nickname.

Now, if you’re a new reader and I don’t know you very well, I may not do all of them for you, but I’ll try.

Only one catch. If I do this, you must post it on your blog. You must. It is written.

If anyone ever plays a silly game, I’m in there like a dirty shirt - so, of course I said “Bring it on!”

Actually, I said, ” Oh, rats - I have to do this, don’t I???” You know - just pretending I didn’t want to hear Michelle saying nice things about me…

Here are her answers:

Heather - I’ve been waiting for you!

1. Que Sera, Sera - I always have that in my head when I browse on your blog. (it was the soundtrack of the movie “Heathers”. And your name is Heather. Good, I’m glad you’re coming with me on that one)

2. No doubt about it, you get a little tazmanian devil. On your right shoulder. (so that you can actually say there’s a little voice that is telling you to do it)

3. You’re gonna kill me. First time on your blog I thought you sold boats. There was a post about all the cool things you do around BC. But come to think of it, you do like to put pics of boats on your blog

4. We’ll need to wrestle in blue jello. We’re by the sea, it’s logical.

5. HEATHBAR - cause you’re so sweet.

My response is, “Whew - she wasn’t mean to me… ” There was a movie named “Heathers”? Must have been before my time. A tasmanian devil I could live with on my right shoulder - I always need to blame someone. Anything blue is good, boats are good, but what in the world is a Heathbar?

I guess Michelle is okay and you can go read her blog to get to know her and her quirky side! Look out though, it all looks like sweetness and fairytales on the surface, but deep down, I know better… nobody ever calls me sweet unless they want something.
