The New CSS Styling Option for Activerain Outside Blogs - 05/28/09 08:12 PM
Today, Jorgen Hahn announced the *NEW* Chameleon "Theme" for ActiveRain Outside Blogs.  Unlike all the other themes available, this one has CSS Styling capability.  STOP!  Don't PANIC.  We're here to help you understand what CSS is, how it works, and how to use it.  DO NOT CUSTOMIZE your CSS enabled template or Outside Blog Theme until you absolutely understand how it works and what it does.  You could really mess up your Blog.  This is for ADVANCED USERS with knowledge of CSS Styling.  Having said that, I'll try and break it down, make it simpler and easier to understand, and help … (61 comments)

NO! It's NOT You - There's a Hickup in our Giddy-up! - 05/27/09 07:11 PM
Sometimes in an effort to make improvements , the lightning and thunder (which create the rain ) can also cause some small inconveniences.
As many of you may have or will discover today, we are experiencing some issues with commenting, posting and even uploading photos to your Blog posts.  We have narrowed down some of these unfortunate problems to be issues with the Internet Explorer Web Browser for the most part.  Photo uploading is not working with either web browser currently.  We are aware of ALL these inconveniences. 
We're working hard to get it resolved quickly and thank all our members … (102 comments)

The REBarCamp "VIRAL" Phenomenon - Spreads to Denver Colorado - 05/22/09 07:00 AM

This event will potentially be the Largest REBarCamp ever!  The BIG DADDY of them all!  Last I checked there were over 450 RSVP's, and more than 30 Corporate Sponsors.  I remember attending the very first REBarCamp in San Francisco, then is was Seattle, Texas, New York, and now it's made it's way to Denver Colorado.  What is it about REBarCamps that has them popping up all over the United States?   Is this the next biggest Real Estate Industry Phenomenon since Twitter or what?  Have you been to an REBarCamp?  Half the battle is just getting there.

Your Daily Recommended Dosage of the Rain - 05/18/09 09:52 PM
How do you keep up with all that's going on in RE and the ActiveRain Community?  One way is to just login each day and read the posts on the feature board, or check out the blogs of members you subscribe to, maybe pop into the groups you've joined for interesting topics, or just use the AR Blogroll to seek out today's newest posts.  This is typical of how most members are trying to keep up with all the content that's available each day in the rain.  Talk about having your finger on the pulse of the Industry, it's about 2000 … (78 comments)

Social Media Howcasts for Social Networking Beginners - 05/17/09 08:31 AM
How about a wall of video instead of a wall of words for a change? :-O Did you know there are folks out there who have never heard of these networks and concepts before? These videos will hopefully enlighten those who have an interest in learning about Social Media Marketing and some of the tools and sites available for Social Networking. … (56 comments)

Yahoo Real Estate? - The Jury Is OUT! - 05/14/09 05:41 AM
I'm looking for a "Verdict" on this one, and need your help.
Do you use Yahoo for searching the web or for any other reason?  Do you advertise on Yahoo?  Do you pay for your Yahoo.com email address?  Are you in on this Yahoo Real Estate thing?  I was not aware the Yahoo was in the business of selling Real Estate and quite honestly I was rather shocked this was available.  I received this "spam" email and it really got me thinking wondering...

I'm just curious what your thoughts are about the idea of Yahoo trying to capture the "Buyer" … (63 comments)

REALTORS® - Important 100K Announcement! - 05/07/09 07:24 PM
If you're a REALTOR®, Broker, or an Agent and member of ActiveRain, this is a MUST READ!  Last month, over 100,000 consumers searched ActiveRain for Real Estate in specific cities using the "Search For Homes" feature.  I was just in a meeting with Bob Stewart and Doug Ching going over the stats and analytics reports.  Folks, this is no joke, consumers flock to AR and used this tool in their quest for finding homes.  

So why is this so important and why should you care?  We've discovered that most of our Agent and REALTOR® members DO NOT have "Hit … (137 comments)

The Ultimate WEB 2.0 Business Card - 05/04/09 08:38 PM
Today I was reading Russell Lewis's post about "The Trials and Trepidations" regarding Business Cards.  The video "Your Business Card Is Crap" he has posted is very interesting and is actually what sucked me into the "Think and Wonder" tank today.  How valuable is your business card these days?  What do people do with them?  What do you do with yours that you've collected?  I have hundreds, maybe thousands, all rubber-banded together, sitting in boxes located under my desk. 
Now don't get me wrong, they are very important, and I would never throw yours away, but.....
All the important folks I know … (91 comments)

Pink is My Favorite Color...or NOT - 05/02/09 04:11 PM
I remember what it was like to be let go from my company where I had over 20 years with them.  It's not only a shock, it is devistating.  Looking back, it's probably the best thing that ever happened to me because now I am with the greatest company I could ever ask for, ActiveRain Corp. 
I'm reblogging this post for obvious reasons.  A fellow AR member (and very dear friend) Missy Caulk has experienced some major turmoil in her life with her husband losing his job as a teacher.  We are all reaching out and supporting the Caulk family by … (26 comments)

ActiveRain Referral Exchange - A Great Way to Manage Referrals - 05/02/09 10:54 AM
Now this may not be eHarmony or Match.com, but then we're not trying to match you to a soul mate either.  We're trying to help you find the "Best" real estate Professional match for your clients.  Here's another tool and service that AR members have access to, but may not know about or be using. 
One of the greatest values I saw when I first joined AR, was the access to 21,000 members scattered all across the Country.  Exchanging referrals with other Real Estate Professionals seemed like the "Best" value ActiveRain had to offer at the time.  I still think … (77 comments)
