The Birth of a Beautiful Princess Gets Celebrated - 06/30/08 04:18 AM
Today, June 29th, 2008 celebrates the birth of my beautiful wife, Debra. I got to spend the entire day with the most beautiful woman on the planet as she took in all her gifts, cards and love. My sons created a "Birthday Hunt" where Mom had to find clues all over the house that were written on postits and hidden everywhere. There were some pretty tough clues, but she gottem all!
The "hunt" came down to two gifts. A new Mountain Bike or a new iPOD. Guess which one she chose? It was a fantastic day which ended up at a … (59 comments)

The Evolution of the ActiveRain Blog - 06/30/08 04:12 AM
It's only been 4 days since the announcement of the "Outside Blog Launch" and we already have close to 1500 AR Blogs setup using the subdomain option. We are starting to see many personalized Blogs evolve using custom domain names too. Here's some samples of the near 250 that I know are "Live" now.It's only been a few days, but IMHO, it appears the launch was a success.

Thanks goes out to ALL … (123 comments)

What the heck is the Super 8 Meme? You've probably been seeing these everywhere on AR lately. Well I finally got suckered into it.

ActiveRain Voices - The New Q&A - 06/06/08 10:34 AM
I recently did a post regarding the Q&A link (read the comments) that's at the top of every ActiveRain page. I was pointing out that consumers are coming here to ask questions from our Real Estate Industry Experts and Professionals. I spent this week researching many pages of questions from consumers, spammers, and other ActiveRain members. Today alone, I spent 10 hours cleaning up the entire Q&A section on ActiveRain. That's just from May 1st, 2008 forward. I removed hundreds of questions.ActiveRain Members: PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR QUESTIONS HERE. In the future, use the "CONTACT ACTIVERAIN" link at the bottom … (122 comments)

Ask A Real Estate Professional - Who Will Answer? - 06/04/08 11:02 AM
Here's an area of ActiveRain I haven't written about. Can you imagine that? lol~ I have been watching the Q&A board on the Network for the past few days now. I know for a fact that many or most members aren't using this much, or may not even know it's there.
The Q&A link is for consumers to ask questions from "US" (the community), about areas of the Country and other specific interests. Have you seen some of these questions? Are you checking if any of them are from your area? It only takes a minute to do. I see … (122 comments)
