Link Of The Week

Everybody likes to get greeting cards - I know I do.  Simply put, it means that someone was thinking of you.  With the internet we can send e-cards any time of the day or night - no more trips to the store to pick out a card. Granted, some of our friends and family have not crossed the Digital Divide and we still have to send them regular cards,  but our peeps that have internet access can get e-cards from us all the time.

When I got my computer and AOL service in 1998, there were tons of free e-card sites to choose from.  Blue Mountain was the most popular.  You could find cards for every occasion and best of all, it was free.  Not any more.  Blue Mountain and most of the other once-free e-card sites are now subscription-only.  Pooh on that.  When Blue Mountain started charging, I scoured the web and found a free alternative:  www.123greetings.com.  They have a huge selection of e-cards for every occasion you can think of.  They also have cards for every holiday, too.  Their homepage has a list of every holiday for the month -  from Christmas to Ground Hog Day to Chocolate Lovers Day.  They also have e-cards for religious holidays for almost every faith and denomination.  Like I said earlier, best of all, the site is free.
