Denise, I would like to say GREAT JOB!!!

This is exactly the type of versatility that we had in mind when we decided to move forward with this idea. The opportunity here is quite mind-boggling, and the early birds get the worms, right? Wink

One tip would be to consider adding a bit of content on the page also. The search engine spiders are not really able to tell what that page is about by looking at the images, like people can. The title of the page helps, but a paragraph or two of unique, keyword rich content will help the search engines understand what content you have on that page. The benefits of this is that your page will begin to get indexed in Google, and will be returned as search results when a user searches a related keyword term!

I'm working on a post that will give everyone an overview of how they can best use these tools to promote their work and earn some extra money!

Again, great to see this new tool being put into action. Thank you... You made my morning!!!

glad you liked it ... I have been my usual wordy self and added a huge intro. i hope it is what you would like to see. i have some google ad words credits i have never used... haven't taken the time to find out, but i will see what that is all about as soon as i can take a few minutes and attack it. thanks for all the comments and permissions to add cards. i appreciate it.

Your write-up is comprehensive and yet succinct. Your choice of cards varied and a good representative slice of what's available at GCU. Thanks for including me in your line-up. I must try to do the same thing on my blog... I'm just not much of a techie. Sue

If you want to know about the visits on your blog, why don't you add GOOGLE ANALYTICS to the bottom of the page. I had to check out the help section of Google Analytics to find exactly where to put it and if you do it correctly, it gives you TONS of info about who is looking at your blog.
