Zoey the Cool Cat'sTop 11 ways to get ActiveRain points

I've always considered it an honor when someone reblogs a post of mine, but I don't think I've ever had more than one or two posts reblogged.

activerain points: Need more points? Do more than the minimum! - 02/20/10 03:22 AM
I guess this past week should be titled "I want more points!" week because I swear that fully half of the blog posts I read were complaining about not getting points, not getting enough points, someone else getting more points, someone else getting too many points, not getting enough points to catch up with someone, etc.

Never miss a week getting your minimum ten blog posts in. Never miss a day getting your minimum ten comments in. Notice that the … (34 comments)
