		<description>... has no idea that I created these sweet (as candy) business cards &lt;b&gt;which&lt;/b&gt;are available to him at no charge.
 
&lt;b&gt;IMHO&lt;/b&gt;
The copy idea is good, Brandon.

Here are some things you might try:
(1) add the word &quot;which&quot;
(2) bold the link &quot;&lt;b&gt;as candy&lt;/b&gt;&quot; OR drop it altogether.
(2) Get rid of the AdSense.
(3) Lead with a much larger picture of the business card (closer to 450 pixels than to 250 pixels)
(4) Try a playful/charismatic font, like Georgia. Serifs have more fun
(5)Increase the font size--although I&#039;m not suggesting you go overboard as I do on two of my sites (mine isn&#039;t tested yet, I&#039;m still working on content!)
(6) If you&#039;re not wedded to the theme put it in Cutline or something with more chutzbah or at least with a bit more intensity

What have you got to lose? I mean those &quot;29 readers&quot; aren&#039;t digg-ing it so the digg-ers will be actually viewing the post ON the site.

You want people to &quot;digg&quot; right? Okay, then THAT is the &lt;i&gt;call to action&lt;/i&gt;. The adsense, the candy all those categories...too many distractions...

All that humbly offered from me, your student, &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;everybody&#039;s student&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;. Heck I&#039;m still working on content, like I said! I started Feb 2007 what do I really know about this stuff anyway. So just take it with a grain of salt, good salt like &lt;a&gt;Maldon&lt;/a&gt;, Celtic, Himalayan. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Who needs distractions?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; ;)</description>
