*Note: This is an Active Rain Public Posting
I believe Vendor advertising at Active Rain is a good idea. I hope that it will help defray the numerous disrupting B2B telemarketing calls I receive. My highest recommendation for any service you may provide a REALTOR, is to advertise it here, then leave … (1 comments)

active rain: You Can Make a Difference and it will only cost some time and a little Pain - 12/20/07 01:50 PM
REALTORS--Do you ever write a blog and wish beyond anything that this one would be Featured? That this is actually a Life and Death situation and that the more people who know about it the greater chance of a difference, an impact being made? This is one of those times that … (65 comments)

active rain: Notify Me of New Comments (X) - 11/07/07 11:56 PM
It doesn't take long as an Active Rain member to realize you really don't need to be notified each time a response has been made to a blog you commented on. It can get very distracting, especially if you are in the middle of commenting on a blog, developing a blog, … (23 comments)

I hesitate to share a personal experience--but, what I learned may be helpful to someone else, so here goes.
Last night, my husband... (kidding the ROARING and Lovely Broker's Wife)

active rain: Would You Admit It? - 09/17/07 01:15 AM
Do you ever catch yourself ARaining when you had actually planned to do something else productive with your time? Many blogs (I reference the Active Rain Search bar) discuss the addiction.
Now I rationalize. It isn't REALly an addiction if it doesn't have a negative effect on your life. For example, … (18 comments)

Let's bring some REality to Active Rain. Behind the professional photos we see--there has got to be "Kodak" moments with family. If you feel comfortable posting photos of your family, give us your best 2 to 4 shots with taglines. This idea was formed during construction of My recent MEME . Sandra Cummings responded with some … (6 comments)

Hey everyone. Sometimes I get a little distracted. There may already be a blog about this, I don't have time to research. If I could give ACTIVE RAIN as an entity a big hug I would.

Wouldn't that be a nice headline?I understand that an online store has been considered in the past, but was tabled because there were more important issues to attend to.
