The core principles of The Green Generation:

A carbon-free future based on renewable energy that will end our common dependency on fossil fuels, including coal.

An individual’s commitment to responsible, sustainable consumption.

Creation of a new green economy that lifts people out of poverty by creating millions of quality green jobs and transforms the global education system into a green one.

Importance of Blog Village Banners

To be an active Blog Village Member, you must prominently display the Blog Village banner or the Blog Village text link on your blog.

Using the banner or text link, you must click in through the gateway page once a month after the list resets. By this process, and only through this process, is your blog is placed on the list for the month.

If you do not click in, your blog does not appear on the Blog Village Top List and will not receive any clicks out, which is how the list is currently ranked.

If you are not on the Blog Village Top List, you will not receive visits from Blog Village members, which is the whole purpose of this list.

Below are detailed instructions for getting the banner on your blog. I hope this helps.

Your account options are on the left. You will want to click GET YOUR LINK CODE.

The next page displays your text link or banner choices. Select one, then click the RADIO BUTTON next to your selection. Then click GENERATE.

The next page displays the banner you selected with the HTML code. Copy and place HTML code for banner on your blog where it is easy to spot.

Unless you have a server and may upload and link directly to the image, you may disregard this instruction: (Be sure to change the IMG SRC to the location of the image on your server).

Changing Marketing Forever (CMF Ads)

For those of you who are tired of dropping cards on blogs through EntreCard, there is another game in town. It is called CMF Ads and it is different from EntreCard in that the admins were EntreCard members from the beginning and know what has worked and what has not worked.

See if you recognize these guys:

What's different about CMF?

We are bloggers just like you. We understand the challenges that bloggers face and we have first-hand experience of what blogging is really like. We don't just spend a day or two looking at blogs then go off to do something else.

We don't just run the CMF services - we are reading, commenting and promoting blogs every single day.

What services do we provide?

For a list of our services, please refer to our About page.

I'm a blogger, how do I join?

Top List Membership List

Hello!

I have neglected the list while I have been undergoing chemotherapy and recovering from the effects on my body and mind.

I am trying to clean up the Top List membership list so that only active users are in the database. Please make sure your blog village banner is on your blog where it can be seen and that you click in every month after the list resets.

Inactive members will be deleted each month after being notified by email IF they have set their preferences to receive ADMIN mail.

If you need help with the code for your banner or anything please let me know. On the sidebar, there is a link that says, "Click here to Contact CyberCelt." Please feel free to use it if I may help you with something.
