What makes a perfect blogger business card?

Something basic like the above which evokes a giant yawn and instantly gets thrown away. Or something super creative and expensive like the one below?

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve had the great opportunity to enjoy morning runs, lunches, and Foodbuzz events with fellow bloggers and readers. The only issue that is that everyone always asks for a business card. This should be a good sign. They want to find my blog and they want to have a means through which to stay in touch. In an business world that is moving more and more towards email contact information versus actual business cards, I’d somehow overlooked the importance of physical business cards. After a wonderful conversation with both Meghann and Kath, I have decided to order Healthy, Happier Bear business cards from Zazzle this week. I would love your input on what you think I need to include to ensure I have an affective and efficient business card. Please leave your ideas in the comments section. I’m also open to aesthetic ideas as well. Should I feature the bear picture on the business card or keep it simple? Should I echo the brown color themes to keep the equity consistent? In addition, I realize that my web address and blog name don’t match perfectly. My web address is www.healthyhappierbear.blogspot.com while my blog name is formally A Healthier, Happier Bear. I don’t know when the disconnect started but I think from a marketing and equity standpoint I need to choose one and go with it. Therefore it seems like the web address is the more permanent one.  Thank you in advance for your help! Also, a huge thank you to Meghann who introduced me to Windows Live Writer today. How had I never heard of this before?

Monday, Monday…

This morning started bright and early with a 5:20 wakeup call. Bo and I decided not to spin today since we went to spin yesterday morning before church at the 19th and Broadway Equinox. Instead, this morning I did a circuit/weights workout that looked a bit like this:
1 mile sprint on treadmill- 8:58
3 sets each of leg press, leg extension, leg curl with jumping jacks between each set
3 sets of tricep dips (25 reps), lat pull down, and curls with mountain climbers between each set
3 sets of assisted pullup, assisted dip, and row with jumping jacks between each set
25 pushups
100 situps on bosu ball to each side with 6 lb ball
2 minutes of planks
5 minutes of foam rolling
All in all this was a great sweaty workout and it felt nice to lift. Sometimes I forget how great it feels to get my muscles moving early. I was starving by the time I reached work and dug into breakfast quick. I’m still enjoying my “messy bowls” filled with Grape Nuts, Special K Protein cereal, strawberries, ground flax, and some skim milk!

Some people have asked how our Easter was in NYC. The day was absolutely gorgeous with blue skies and temperatures reaching 70. We enjoyed church with friends at ForeFront Church then had brunch at Pete’s Tavern. The afternoon was spent walking park to park enjoying the dogs and people watching. I don’t think a Spring Sunday could get any better. Here are a few pictures from our family to yours!
