Today Entrecard announced a partnership with SezWho , a universal profile service for the social web designed to engage communities and enable content discovery.

SezWho allows you to set up a profile, and have your comments across blogs using SezWho aggregated. So if you offer an erudite comment on blog A, people who read it can click your profile and see posts from your own blog as well as your comments elsewhere in the blogosphere.

In combination with Entrecard, not only do you get the advantage of a ‘carry along’ profile, but you can earn EC credits for your posts too.

However, we wouldn’t want people running around and writing “nice post” on every blog they see, trying to game the system and earn credits. So the community will be responsible for rating comments, and rating them truthfully. Depending on how well your comments get rated, and who rates them, your comments will earn you a sliding reward ranging from 1 to 10 credits. If your comments get rated poorly, especially by a blog’s owner, you won’t earn a thing.

This rather brilliant move should help to significantly offset the Bounce Rate problem that Entrecard has had.

I’ve just installed the SezWho plugin, and will be watching my Google Analytics carefully to see if it does improve my bounce rate, which went from ~30% before Entrecard to ~75% after.

Just a quick note to say that The Wealthy Blogger has released his Google Subscribed Links Toolkit for WordPress.

It is absolutely awesome. The plugin is newly coded, designed for 2.5.x WordPress blogs, but is backwards compatible so if you’re still running a 2.3.x blog it will still work like a dream.

Aside from the plugin, the kit contains complete instructions from install to setup of your feed on Google. It simplifies a complex process quite well, and warns you when things might take a while to happen so you don’t panic and think you’ve done something wrong.

It also includes 10 nice 125×125 pixel banners that you can use to promote your subscribed links on your blog. That’s handy because the size of the banner Google offers is in a size that is probably a little awkward in many blog designs. 125×125 is quickly becoming the size of choice, especially for a lot of probloggers.

The toolkit also includes an AWESOME report offering five brilliant ways to get people running to subscribe to your Google links. These are five REALLY good ideas.

The price is cheaper than dirt, so if you’ve got a WordPress blog, it’s something you should be jumping at. I’m sure you’ll find it worthwhile.

Today is a holiday. To be specific, it’s the very first Family Day Ontario has ever had. Back in Alberta, we had family day holidays for years, but this is a first for Ontario.

Anyway, being a stay-at-home, homeschooling family, we get enough family time. If we tried to add any more, we’d get sick of eachother.

So I’m spending part of Family Day working on my site.

While I haven’t worked out all the complexities in my theme design, I did easily set up everything else. Using plugins for contact forms, a forum, and a way to take charge of my menus was a breeze.  I’m using pages for the actual site and posts for the back-end blog, and the whole thing seems to be coming together sooo much more smoothly than I thought it would.

I had initially decided to use XSitePro for my new site but after beginning to read “How to Build An Affiliate Website with WordPress” I’m reconsidering that decision. After all, there are a lot of advantages to using WordPress for any site – - from RSS to built in commenting abilities, to the myriad of plug-ins that could make life and expansion much easier. Templating WordPress, though, is harder for me than making a template for XSitePro, and it’s harder for me to wrap my head around the changes that’ll need to be made to a default WordPress theme to make it work for what I’ve got planned.

Decisions, decisions….

So, I’m going to take tonight to study the WP Affiliate book, along with the free “WordPress SEO for Beginners” from Blog Oh Blog and Teli Adlam’s free “Beginner’s Guide to Using and Building Traffic with Feedburner” report.

If I feel confident and enthusiastic enough to proceed with WordPress tomorrow, I’ll set up a blog and see where it leads. Otherwise, I’ll go back to my XSitePro plan and save WordPress for a future project.
