In the screen below we are visiting table4five.net After we click drop, the Entrecard widget says “Thanks!”
-
STEP 3: Browsing through and card dropping.
-
After clicking drop, simply follow the widget and go to the blog advertising in that Entrecard Widget. In this case the next blog is called The Pond. We’ll click on their card.

We can then drop our card on their blog, read their blog, and click on the blog advertising in their Entrecard widget.
