Metallman's Reverie is Taking a Hit in the Rankings
Hey there. Ever since I changed the domain to Metallman.com, I have been tanking in the rankings. My Alexa rank is now in the millions (from 75K) with only 1 site linking in, I have no IZEA rank (from a respectable 750), google rank is 0 with little to no pages indexed, and I only have about 90 links to my site on Yahoo (compared to over 7,000). The plus side? I have my own domain AND MSN (Bing) finally indexed my site. It looks like Metallman's Reverie is starting from scratch. Ranking wise at least. I hope that it won't hinder my ability to take opportunities from the IZEA programs for the time being. I figured that the site may suffer at first, but will be beneficial in the long run. I've also had to resubmit my site to other services such as Blogexplosion. I'm still waiting for an approval there and I just got my blog url updated in SocialSpark. It's all good though. The only place to go from here is up! Later!

Experience True Sound from your iPod with the Yamaha PDX-60 Speaker Dock
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Yamaha. All opinions are 100% mine.
Hey there friends. Are you still listening to your Ipod using the standard, white headphones? I'm pretty sure that everyone has seen the commercials that bring those headphones to icon status, but you know what? They are still standard headphones. Considering that the iPod is a multimedia machine, you owe it to yourself to experience it in true high quality sound.
Enter the Yamaha PDX-60, a power speaker system that will not only enhance your listening experience but change the way you see you Ipod. Music and movies will resonate across the room since the PDX-60 has some Bass-reflex speakers and since it's compatible with all things Ipod, your iPhone will definitely get a boost in sound while you're surfing Youtube videos.
Did I mention that the whole thing can be wireless? The Yamaha PDX-60 runs on Yamaha's original wireless technology, yAired, which is way more user friendly than Bluetooth.
Here at work, many of us gather around lunch room to catch The Office on my coworkers iPhone. It's tough for a group of 4 to really listen in on the iPhone's speaker system. If we were to have a PDX-60 in our office, we'd be able to listen with crystal clear sound all the jokes and comments that Jim throws at Dwight! Maybe the 4 of us can pitch in to get one, since this has become a ritual at work. AND... if more people start clamoring in to catch The Office on the iPhone, it would make perfect sense to get a high quality device to accommodate our office.
Check it out , friends. Get high quality sound for your iPhone or iPod. It's the only way to go if you are looking for the best in sound quality. Later!

Top Blogs of the Month of November
Hey there. It's that time of the month again. It's time to give my top 5 droppers the recognition that they deserve. The following blogs have received a month long spot on my blogroll and have also earned themselves 500 ECs:
http://annssnapeditscrap.blogspot.com/
http://asthecrackerheadcrumbles.blogspot.com/
http://www.laaneworld.com/
http://vanillaseven.com/
http://www.buckrobin.com/
Thanks to all of you that have dropped on my blog this month. I greatly appreciate all your support.
Now, on to some important news. I've been rewarding my top droppers for several months now and have been contemplating on how I can reward my commentators as well. This is what I have come up with... Starting Dec. 1st, I will keep tabs on all comments made for the month. At the end of the month, I will award the top commentator a cash prize, to be delivered via PayPal (Must have a valid PayPal account). This will allow ALL readers to participate and not feel slighted if they are not part of the Entrecard family. I have yet to decide what the cash prize will be, but I am leaning towards starting small (anywhere from $2.50 to $5.00 to start) and if this catches on, the cash prize will continue to be awarded monthly and may be increased and expanded to reward not only the top commentator but maybe the top 5 as well. Comments must be revelant and I will delete spam comments. I will also post a screen shot of my excel sheet since my widget goes back to the top 500 comments and I do not know how to reset it every month. The first winner will be announced next month along side my top 5 droppers of the month. Good luck friends... And don't forget to comment! Later!

Happy Anniversary, My Dear
Hey there. Today marks our 6th year anniversary! Not to be confused with our marriage anniversary. That's coming in July. lol 6 years ago, I asked the woman of my dreams to be mine. She is my angel. She not only took me in as her significant other, but took on 2 little ones as well. In an instant, my 19 year old girlfriend had a family of 4. That's a lot to handle for any young woman, yet, there she stood, by my side, ready to take on the challenges of motherhood and family life. It hasn't always been easy, we've had our rough patches like anyone else would, but we got through them and it's made our relationship just that much more stronger. So here's to you, my better half, the love of my life, and my best friend. I love you.
A Path of Love
Through thick and thin
We've walked a path
That together we have blazed
Though fire and ice
Have littered our way
We continued, hand on hand
With love and passion
We carried on
Through our trials and tribulations
As demons come
we've marched on
And slain them with conviction
As angles fly
We've been blessed
With our own kin to carry on
The unknown path
We'll follow thruogh
Together side by side
What crosses our way
We'll not yet know
But together we stand strong
Our path is young
We have yet to see
What the future has in store for us
Let's walk together
My love, my life
And continue our walk to bliss.

Let the Spirit of Christmas Ring with 60 Christmas Carols For Kids
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Madacy Entertainment. All opinions are 100% mine.
Hey there friends. You guys want to know a secret? I love Christmas carols! As I'm walking down the isles of a store or walking through the mall, it's not uncommon to have music resonating. Now that Christmas is near, that music is more often than not Christmas music. I'll sing quietly to myself, or sing loudly to make the kids smile. They only know a few of the songs so when I'm singing a song they are not familiar with, they give me this look that says, "Dad, you're crazy." lol Well, I'm looking to get the kids familiarized with the Christmas carols and what better way to get that done than with the album, "60 Christmas Carols For Kids" by Countdown Kids.
Spanning across 3 discs, you'll get Christmas favorites like Frosty the Snowman, Jingle Bells, and Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer as well as old time favorites like O Come, O Come Emmanuel, Angels From The Realms Of Glory, I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing In. It's a great collection to introduce the young and old to great Christmas carols and considering that retailers are offering "Black Friday" sales, you can pick up your digital download of this album for a mere $3.69 as opposed to $9.49. That's approx. $.06 a song!
Act today and score your copy of 60 Christmas Carols For Kids for less than $4. Later!

Motivational Sunday - Priorities
Hey there. Once upon a time, I was a hard core gamer. I'd skip school (middle school and high school) to stay home and play games all day long. I remember this one particular time when Megaman X first came out for the SNES. I bought it, stayed home from school that day, and passed the game... All in one sitting. lol It's pretty obvious that I didn't have my priorities straight then. That's why I decided to use the below poster for "priorities", complete with a SNES! lol Later!
