Retro Yakking

Once again it’s time for me to thank this month’s top EntreCard droppers. These are in no particular order, as each was tied on thirty-one, and I’m pretty sure there are many more than this who dropped the full quota for the month.

Since EC only provide top tens in their statistics tables, however, this is all we get. Maybe I will add some more later if I get time, because I wanna give people credit, gosh darn it!

Well, the end of another month already, and time once again to thank everyone who is visiting this blog via EntreCard.

There are too many of you to list here, though protocol suggests that the round figure of ten be acknowledged.

And acknowledged you shall be, in this very list of links and numbers, just at the other side of the break. Mario compels you to click the hyperlink!

That time of the month again? Well, it’s time once again to reveal my top EntreCard droppers for the month of March 09. Sadly, this will be the final such list as forced removal of the EC widget is imminent. For that reason, this is an ultra-special edition in which I will also include my click through stats. Well, might as well go out in a blaze of glory.

A quick reminder

Are you a British EntreCarder? Do you have a blog relating to British culture or anything to do with the UK in general? Join the British blogger droplist today for Brit blogging.

As ever, a huge thanks to every single one of you visiting my blog through EntreCard, even those of you who are dropping and running. In return, this weekend I am attempting to leave a comment on almost all of the blogs I drop on. It’s proving quite a difficult and arduous task, but we shall see how it goes.

1. Mind Relaxing Ideas (31 drops) - a nicely designed, well-maintained celeb gossip fest.
2. Picture to People (30) - a cool little tool allowing you to add effects to photos without the aid of an image editing program. A nice, clear and simple design with a cool orange theme. Oh yeah.
3. Search Engine Panel (30) - useful resource for SEO fanatics. News and tips on priming your website for the search engines.
4. A Malaysian Abroad (30) - insightful and intelligent with a sense of humour too.
5. Quantum Indonesia Translogistic (30) - a well-written goods/business blog.
6. Lights Camera Action (30) - South Asian-centric news blog with a pretty mint page layout.
7. Kitchen Retro (30) - vintage kitsch curiosities. If my blog were actually about what the title promises, it would be very similar to this well put together blog.
8. The Everyday Adventurer (30) - armchair adventuring! Wonderful photographs.
9. The Junk Drawer  (30) - Another cool and nicely designed site by a passionate blogger. Junk found lying around the house, shops and various other places.
10. Rocket Scientist (30) - Very well written and thoughtful blog that deserves a place on every top ten list.

This is just the top ten, but you can be assured that if Entrecard did top 50 dropper stats lists then I would reproduce it here. Once again cheers to you all. Boing!

Update: it appears there are a bunch more droppers tied on thirty. Here are some of them:

• Health by Dr Atif Farid (30) - fascinating blog by a budding doctor. You’ll never have to visit your GP again! Or, maybe.
• Speak, Dog! Speak (30) - politics and dogs are a heady (and strange) mix, but SD!S straddles the boundaries and manages to be both appealing and intriguing, no mean feat. Woof.
• ThinkingOutLoudBlog.com (30) - bit of a mixed bag. The time and effort put into this blog really shows.
