blog: Steam, Motivation or Thoughts - 05/04/08 03:22 PM
As an Active Rain member that blogged virtually everyday for months, over the past couple months I must admit I have posted very little to the community. I can come up with all the excuses... lack of time, got busy, other things to do.. but when I sit back and ask … (4 comments)

blog: Playing in the Rain - 01/24/08 08:30 AM
As a consumer, I am always looking for the business that doesn't waste money. I know the more they waste, the more the services will cost me.
As a professional, I am always looking for ways to cut overhead costs so that my clients get the best possible service.
Enter Active Rain.

blog: At least there's that - 01/12/08 10:18 AM
Character is what you have left when you've lost everything you can lose. - Evan Esar
So I joined in October of last year and quickly was able to get up well over 38,000 points, coming up to 40,000 soon. At first, it was all about getting as many points as possible, … (57 comments)

blog: Cool posting idea - 12/23/07 07:07 PM
Thanks to my news alerts, I found an idea I thought I'd share. When looking around online, if you run across a politician's website that is talking about the subprime mortgage meltdown, post a comment with a backlink or two to your own site. These sites are getting a lot of … (6 comments)

blog: 24 hr Google Bug! - 12/21/07 08:25 PM
So I created a new blog YESTERDAY at WordPress.com. (http://mortgages4charlotte.wordpress.com/)
I was going to submit to Google so that it could begin getting indexed at some point. Only 3 blog entries so far, but hey... why not, right? Before I submitted it to Google, I decided to google the website address. … (5 comments)

blog: Added blog benefits - 12/20/07 08:05 AM
With the benefits of blogging so evident, I have also started a new blog at WordPress.com
The nice thing here is it is easy to use, and for me very familiar since I already use WordPress on my own websites. So now I have ActiveRain, www.EdNailor.com/blog, www.RapidRateRefi.com, and now a WordPress.com blog … (12 comments)

Ok, so I am not really so focused on the Points anymore, but damn... 30,000 points in such a short time!

My goal is getting points was to get to the top of the ranks in my area so … (7 comments)

blog: Where else? - 11/20/07 07:55 AM
Ok... so I am contributing to Active Rain daily.
I post to Craigslist now daily as well.
I am actively adding to my own blog on my own site.
I have discovered Backpage.com and post there.
Can anyone share other places for posting or running free ads? Maybe we can all learn from this!

blog: Do you go beyond the Points? - 11/20/07 06:46 AM
It has not taken me long to earn a respectable number of points here on Active Rain. I noticed from the beginning that those with the most points are featured everywhere and when someone is seeking a professional (especially on Localism) that the people near the top have the best shot … (14 comments)

blog: AR Question: Views - 11/13/07 02:17 PM
So I am looking through the groups I have subscribed to and see the views vs. comments. Got me wondering, if we post something on here that is also posted on Localism, does the view count on Active Rain also count the views on Localism? Just curious. And if not, is … (7 comments)

blog: Another newbie question - Points for blogs - 11/05/07 11:27 AM
I have looked around and maybe I am missing it, but how do you know how many point any blog entry will get? I have a few that are only 200, some that are close to 300. Not that the number of words is any different (was my first thought), but … (6 comments)

blog: Posting to more than 5 groups? - 11/05/07 11:21 AM
I did not know when I first started that I could only post a specific blog entry to a max of 5 groups. So as I checked off all of the groups I have joined and have interests in, the first 5 were the only ones that it took. Ok... fair … (4 comments)
