I saw a few blog that displayed their EntreCard drop in-box in some static pages and posts. I saw a few WordPress plugins to display a few droppers in the sidebar. I was looking for a way to display all the content of my in-box in a page.

Take a look here for a live example, and do feel free to drop your card, I’ll drop back on your widget.

In order to display your EntreCard drops in-box in a blog or web page you need a Feedburner account and of coarse your EntreCard feed url. I think every one is familiar with Feedburner, if not a quick search and you will want to use Feedbeurner for your feeds. I like it because of all the stats that come with it.

The principle is simple. Burn your EC feed and use Buzz Booster to show any feed as HTML. This can be useful for more than EntreCard. I used to get widgets to display my feeds. Too many widgets look so trashy in my opinion. So here is what I did.

1) The fist thing I tried worked. I logged into my EC account and went to the dashboard. I clicked the feed icon at the top right side of the page.

2) I copied the url of my drop’s feed. I went over to my Feedburner account and burned this new feed.

This is where the fun begins. Once your EntreCard feed is burned, click on “My Feeds”, then click on the new EntreCard feed you just created.

Click on the “Publicize” tab at the top of your screen. To the left of your screen you will see “Buzz Boost” this is to republish any feed as HTML. I can’t believe I never bothered to check what Buzz Boost was! I could have used this for many things.

So now you have the possibility to customize your feed. You can specify your feed’s title, how many items to display and to display the date or not.

Copy the code and paste it in a page or post. You will have a nice list of all your droppers and their links.

Hope you like this tip and you will come back for more. Happy blogging to you.
