The upgrade to wordpress 2.5 went smooth. Replaced wp-include and wp-admin, replaced the other files, than the config and performed the database update.
First impressions
The user interface is well done and quite intuitive. I like the way that menu-elements are changed, providing a more simple browsing experience.
There are also some major changes to colors and design. The colors stands in contrast to each other and give a good impression. Though the light-blue color might be a bit too light on the eye. Wordpress 2.5 now uses rounded buttons almost everywhere (Jippey!) looking really good.
The tables are changed to a more professional look, and does at the same time give a better overview of the contents.

If I where to say I had found a technique that let’s you drop all of your 300 drops on entrecard fully automated. You could start the “thing” when you go to work and come home to 300 drops. It could be highly customizable so that you could configure it to start with the users that lately has dropped their cards at you and then move on with eg. users in the same group or random.
Forget about powerdropping, chaindropping and so on. Also forget about the Ethical/Moral issues here. Because entrecard is built upon the idea of bloggers visiting each other and leaving their card done in a human way, every technique, even powerdropping breaks this scheme.
A tool that could enable a user with one or many blogs to drop 300 cards for every blog, every day could be of some power. Today Entrecard users could even buy and sell credits. I have seen prices of 10.000 entrecredits as high as 85$.
Lets do some calculation:
1 blog
300 drops = 300 credits.
30 days x 300 drops = 9.000 credits
Lets assume that you get 50-100 drops at your entrecard daily if you drop 300. That is average 75 /day a month.
30 days x 75 drops = 2.250 credits
SUM: 11.250 credits!
2 blogs: 22.500 credits!
3 blogs: 33.750 credits!
If you count that in dollars., you might get (if you are lucky):
1 blog: about 90$!
2 blogs: about 180$!
3 blogs: about 270$!
That beats a LOT of link-exchange/affiliate/adsense/etc programs!
Now, as you can see, you can easily make 270$ a month. How much would you been willing to pay for such a tool? Please comment!

About
As you can see on my right sidebar I have a list of the last Entrecard droppers. It is automatically updated with the last droppers. You can choose to display a list of 1-98 links, where 5 is default. This widget can be useful for both you and your visitors. You don’t have to check your inbox all the time and you show appreciation to the ones that drop by your site!
How to use
Locate your RSS-feed. To do this:
- Log on to Entrecard.com
- Go to your dashboard
- Right-click on the RSS-icon as you can see in the picture
- Choose “Copy Link Location”
- Paste the URL in the code and place it on your webpage (eg. Wordpres: Theme editor)
- Note: Be careful if you are trying to add it as a text-widget in wordpress. You can take a look here at the wordpress support, though it shouldn’t be any problem.
Disclamer: You may use this code on your webpage, but then on your own responsibility. The widget can be removed at any time, without notice. I will try my best not to do that.
Example:
RSS-Location: http://entrecard.com/feeds/inbox/xxx/rss2.0
Then, the code is:
