Entrecard without a doubt is still the hottest community nowadays. Many bloggers around the blogsphere are crazy about it, including Filipino Bloggers. Apparently, there is now an Entrecard exclusively for Filipinos, which is called the Pinoy Entrecard. This site was designed and owned by Gomby, a 22-year old Filipino based in New York, USA. For Filipinos like me, here are some advantages you may get from joining:
1.0 You will know how many Filipinos have extreme talents in blogging and you can share them with each other.
2.0 You will have special bonding with your fellow Filipino Bloggers, no matter where you are.
3.0 Since the site is fast growing, it will somehow add attraction to your blog considering that you are an Entrecard holder.

Pinoy Entrecard: The Entrecard for Filipinos
What I Learned From A One-month old Blog
Three months ago, I started to blog about parenting tips, and immediately followed by facts about marriage. Then finally, I launched this blog exactly a month ago. I learned how to blog from a friend of mine who also blogs and he was a good mentor to me, who is still helping me until now. I am also glad that I met nice people here, and child bloggers who inspired me to do better with my first blog. Now, I feel that it is time for me to share some of what I have learned and hopefully, to inspire new bloggers:
1.0 I learned my purpose. I knew the reasons why I am blogging, before I even started. I have targets and goals, and I am monitoring my status regularly.
2.0 I learned the basics things first. I acted like a grade school student who keeps on reading and researching for the things I should know before I blog . I did not hesitate to ask things that I am not sure of. I did not jump into complicated things that I cannot appreciate yet.
3.0 I learned the qualities of successful bloggers. I know that I cannot be successful overnight. Although I suppose bloggers are born with equal rights, there are still some unique qualities a blogger should possess.
4.0 I learned how to do things properly. Things like how to reply on comments and how to post a good post, are some of the simple things I have learned. I also learned some ethics because I know it is what makes bloggers more admirable.
5.0 I learned how to get tips. I found a lot of blogging tips everywhere. And I am getting them easily, without so much time and effort finding them.
6.0 I learned how to share. Whenever I found useful blogging tips, I share it with everybody. I learned to submit my blogs and articles to useful directories, and also to decline the useless ones.
7.0 I learned how to be trustworthy. I may be telling the truth but people find it hard to believe me simply because they do not see me. Posting my own picture in all of my blogs helped me a lot.
I am sure what I have learned is very much far away from my target. But with my eagerness and inspiration I know I can still learn a lot because blogging is like life, it is a never ending journey of learning.

My First List of Article Directories
As I have mentioned before, I am now submitting my blogs and selected articles to directories. This is because I truly believe that such directories can help a lot to expose my blogs. Now I would like to share with you the current article directories where I submit my quality articles regularly:
Article Marketer
Their small but proud banner that states that they are the world leader in article submission is very believable. This is because of its popularity worldwide and quality articles they approved. Their moderators are very strict in terms of everything, from grammar to punctuation marks, headings and capitalization. No wonder one must wait for five business days before the article will be approved. But initially, they have this automatic checker that check and suggest changes if needed. Right now, I am still waiting for their approval of my post because I have to re-write my previous posts because of their suggestions.
9 RULES
This site was originally launched in 2005 and has nine rules they try to follow. Besides submitting articles to them which they call “clips”, you can also post discussions on different categories which they call “notes”. Moreover, you can vote for your favorite clips by simply clipping it and special awards will be given to users with high points. Lastly, you can “pimp” your profile by buying headers from their store using earned points.
Copy Paste Articles
What is so unique about this directory is that you do not need an account to submit an article, and there is no limit of number of articles you submitted. After your article has been approved by one of their moderators, you will receive an email for your confirmation. In addition, you can use tags or keywords that you think that are suited for your articles, which means there are no specific categories.
Recommend US
Another simple but growing article directory where you can submit unlimited articles based on different categories. You can submit articles from other blogs, too. Moreover, viewers can recommend and bookmark their favorite articles, as well as post their comments, provided that they are logged in. As of this posting, I have submitted them 24 quality articles which makes me the 2nd top submitter.
Article Highlight
This is my favorite article directory so far. This is because once your article has been approved by the owner himself who has very strict standards; there is a big chance that he will post them on his showcase which will lead to one of his high quality blogs, depending on the category. Another great thing is that your link and username will be highlighted in his other blogs which proves that you are still the author of your own article.
If you have comments on these directories or suggest other directories, please feel free to do so. Thank you very much.

How To Maximize Your Entrecard
There is no doubt that Entrecard is getting hotter these days. In fact, you can find it in so many blogs and forums. I myself made a short post about it. Although there are some who criticize and removed their cards from their site, more and more bloggers are still joining. However, I just learned some things how to maximize its usage:
1.0 Make your Entrecard more clickable. Instead of using one of their usual Entrecard style just like I used to have, my mentor and friend advised me to use an uploaded image from my own collection of pictures. But you can also create your own stylish caricature with your blog name of course. Please take note that they are only allowing a 125 x 125 picture.
2.0 Do not foget to drop your card or advertise on major blogs that are members of Entrecard which you can choose from on their Campaign page. You can visit many sites while promoting your own blogs. Please visit their site on how to do it.
3.0 Join their contest. They have this contest wherein you can buy from their store, using your Entrecard points of course. There will be six winners, and content will run until December 27, 2007 only. So, visit their blog at once for more details. It is a good chance to increase your traffic that must not be missed out.
