This was due out in January. Unfortunately, there were some challenges to overcome and it’s late.
There are some blog aggregator services out there that do a nice job of driving traffic to a blog and I am happy they’re available. I’ve gotten more exposure through them than I can begin to count. But I felt that the services were too complicated for easy use, or asked for money from users to be kept in the rotation, or worse still, sold subscriptions!
I want to bring a free service to bloggers that had a clean and simple look and feel. That’s what Ecritage is.
Ecritage is built to support eight languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, and Japanese. It also utilizes Google translation so that any page can be read in one of these languages.
Ecritage is also broken into ten areas of interest under each language: Life, Sports, Political, Entertainment, General, Financial, Leisure, Faith, News, and Travel.
Using Ecritage is fast and simple. To submit your blog, choose a language page for it to appear on, type or paste the URL for your blog and then choose the area of interest. Hit submit and you’re done!
One of the nice things about Ecritage is that you can submit your entire blog or just a particular post. For instance, my blog is about anything and everything. I might want to submit it under “General”. However, if I write a post about President Obama, I may want to submit the URL for just that post under “Politics”. You get the idea.
Please! Go give it a try and check out other bloggers’ content while you’re there.
Keep in mind that this is a new service and there may be only a few blogs per language or channel until it gets going.

I tried reading a blog on this site, but it seems to refresh every few seconds and go back to the beginning.
The idea is for blogs to be displayed on a rotating basis–every 6 seconds. It gives you a chance to see what’s out there and then you can click into ones you want to read. Unfortunately, until it gets more submissions, the rotation is pretty limited and will repeat more quickly. But thanks for looking!
