blogging: HDR Image of Meteor Crater in Arizona - 10/23/09 11:45 AM
Photo © Mike Hendren, 2009
I was traveling through Arizona a few days ago - headed home after visiting my son and his wife in Phoenix. I took a little detour, just about 6 miles off I-40, near the eastern border of Arizona to visit the famous Meteor Crater.
It is truly impressive, especially when you consider it was caused by a direct hit from a relatively small meteor. The crater is about 550 feet deep and 4,000 feet across and was caused by a meteor not much bigger than a large house - only about 150 feet across. It's scary … (22 comments)

blogging: Staying in Touch - And - Talking Dogs? - 10/21/09 10:39 AM
I've been thinking about this for a while. We all stay in touch - sporadically - occasional emails and phone calls where we try to "catch up", but there are so many things that happen to us between times, it would be impossible to remember to talk about all of them. So we try to update the really important highlights and some of the other stuff gets lost.
But, you see, some of "the other stuff" - the little things - funny or heartwarming things - can also be helpful in keeping up with what we're feeling and experiencing … (13 comments)

blogging: Promoted on Wordpress.com! Yay! - 09/19/09 09:26 PM
I apologize for "tootin' my own horn" - - - but I just couldn't help it. :-)
I recently moved my photo blog http://thrumikesviewfinder.com to Wordpress.com to be hosted there. Within a couple of days, my most recent post about "Canyonlands Nat'l Park", got promoted to the Wordpress.com home page. Man, you talk about a BUMP in hits - from almost nothing to over 700 the first day. Yeah, yeah, I know - for many of you that's not that many, but for me, it's BIG! :-)
Anyway, I knew that you folks, of all the people I know, would appreciate … (12 comments)

blogging: Flickr - Intersection for People, Photos, and Blogs - 05/03/09 11:15 AM
I really like the photo sharing website, Flickr. I know there are lots of different photo websites available and I'll admit I'm not very familiar with any of the other ones, but I'd just like to share why I like Flickr.
It's FREE! However, I suggest the "Pro" account for $25 / year because it gives you more bandwidth and some other nice capabilities. You can Blog straight from Flickr to several sites like Blogger and Wordpress. (unfortunately, not to Activerain) But then, it is a simple process to cut and paste it into Activerain if you want it here, too. … (10 comments)

blogging: Blogging Tips at ProBlogger.net - 03/23/09 08:04 AM
I think we all blog for mostly the same reasons:
we read blogs just for enjoyment or to learn something new, we write blogs to try and share something we think is important or special. OR
we're in it to try and monetize our blog in some way, either through ads or by attracting more clients. Regardless of the reasons, we all could probably use some help. Do you ever have "writers block" - you want to post but just can't think of anything useful or interesting to write about? You'd like to increase your readership but, like me, you … (3 comments)

blogging: Thanks to ActiveRain Members - 03/12/09 09:59 AM
I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to the ActiveRain community. So many members here are so active and eager to contribute and help everyone else, especially those of us who are new to AR. What this has done for me and everyone else I'm sure, is make me feel almost instantly at home and ready to help where I can.
This spirit of cooperation, while not unique to real estate, is one of those intangible assets that helps keep us all active, engaged, and appreciative of every opportunity to learn and improve our approach to the … (8 comments)
