blog posts: Over 200 Blog Posts! Cool Beans! Active Rain Is Awesome! - 08/02/08 02:20 PM
Well, I just noticed that I'll now clocked in at just over 200 blog posts on Active Rain. Kinda funny, actually, as I only got started on this new hobby last February (as my memory serves). I have enjoyed this hobby, which is also a powerful tool to market my services … (4 comments)

blog posts: Posting multiple blog entries...Help - 05/06/08 03:09 PM
Being a new blogger as I get more and more into it, I keep finding new things to learn.  When you start out in a new task you go along obliviously for a while, because you don't know what you don't know.  Once again I have hit a guestion that seems … (16 comments)

blog posts: 1031 Exchanges - The Definition of An AR Obsession? - 04/23/08 12:29 PM
Dreaming About AR Posts!
Last night I went to sleep very contented. It had been a productive day.
I woke up early this morning around 4 a.m. exclaiming "EEE Gads, I might have a problem."
  So, you ask what was it that woke you up at 4 a.m. this morning? Get this, I … (10 comments)

blog posts: Steve's Greatest Hits And B Sides - 04/14/08 11:48 PM
I was looking at my statistics the other day and found that my first serious activity at Active Rain was one year ago yesterday, as in last Sunday. Wow, how time flies when you are getting all wet in the rain. A while back, a friend had suggested that he had … (2 comments)

blog posts: 500 Posts and Kicking it to Another Gear - 03/14/08 02:11 AM
I looked up to the meter at the top of my Active Rain page and realized I am hitting the half century mark.  500 blog posts!  For those who have been following my posts the answer to the big question is:  Yes I am still a two finger typist.
Back in November … (101 comments)

blog posts: More than replying to comments - 03/10/08 10:25 PM
There have been many posts on responding to comments to one of your blog posts. Yes, I do think it's only polite to respond to someone who made a comment - conversation is what blogs are all about. But what if you go a step further - why not click on … (22 comments)

blog posts: 1,000 Blog Posts - 03/10/08 10:04 PM
Neal Bloom has been setting up groups for round numbered points - 100,000, 200,000, 300,000 and he'll need to set up a new one because Lenn Harley is approaching 400,000 ...  maybe it should be the Plum Club a la American Express who decided what's beyond gold and platinum.
While on my … (11 comments)

blog posts: Why Publicly Write About Bad Agents or Bad Business Practices? - 01/24/08 03:09 AM
Yesterday, while going through my e-mail I had a message from a really great client who found me through Active Rain.  Towards the end of his message he stated: 
"It seems business is good based on your blog. I still read it regularly. Keep up the great stories, especially the ones … (62 comments)

blog posts: When some take the wrong approach to providing "usefull Information". - 01/19/08 10:51 AM
I think active rain has done a wonderful job creating a forum that is useful to the public and the professional real estate community. Unfortunately, there are some who refuse to participate in ways that enhance the environment that will be useful to a potential visitor.
I think this is way … (3 comments)

blog posts: Are only Realtors and Real Estate Agents Allowed on Active Rain? - 01/05/08 02:12 AM
Not long ago, a very successful Real Estate Agent specializing in REOs put up a blog stating that, I should not be allowed to post here, because I was not a real estate agent. Of course, most of us know that all folks involved in real estate, commercial or residential are … (22 comments)

blog posts: Have a great post? - 12/26/07 11:51 PM
Submit it to Digg, InmanWiki and StumbleUpon.  Many of us have those great posts once in a while (some more often than others) that get views in the thousands and comments in the hundreds...
I know we all have heard of these sites and constantly recommend them to others, but are WE … (7 comments)

blog posts: What to do if an agent attaches the inspection report to a notice? - 11/12/07 04:47 PM
This may seem like a good idea, after all when you're a buyers agent you want your client to know how hard you work to protect their investment. You may even purchase a Home Warranty for them as we do. If you can negotiate the seller to make repairs based on the results and findings of … (3 comments)

blog posts: To Blog or Not To Blog, That is the Question - 06/05/07 03:46 PM
For SPR agents and anyone else who cares: Okay, Sugar Pine Realty agents. Some of you have real estate blogs. But the fact is you aren't maintaining them. Am I right? This isn't meant to be a condemnation. Instead, it's meant to be a reminder to pick back up that which … (0 comments)

blog posts: Reflections from my Back Porch on a Warm Thursday Morning - 12/21/06 05:27 AM
I can see the clouds approaching from the south, more ominous in the pre-dawn sky than what they actually represent. The main storm that hit Denver yesterday seems to be passing to the south of us. We remain unseasonably warm, and any snow we receive in the next couple of … (4 comments)

blog posts: Tuesday Reflections from my Back Porch—What happened to “REALTOR®” Teresa’s Face? - 12/12/06 05:21 AM
A warm (39ºF), foggy, North Star State morning greeted me today as I stepped out on to the porch. I can linger a bit, and savor the warmth of my (china, not stoneware) mug of Kona blend coffee (I purchased a whole 1# bag, so I will have it for … (25 comments)

blog posts: Reflections from my Back Porch, Sunday, 10 Dec ‘06, a Fine Morning! - 12/10/06 05:22 AM
Don’t look for me here—go on around to the back!
I am savoring my (china, not stoneware) mug of organically & shade grown, fair trade, French roast, coffee this fine Saint Paul morning on my back porch—the temperature under a clear & star-filled sky is 32ºF, with no wind—so I can linger … (12 comments)

blog posts: Reflections from my Back Porch, Friday, 8 Dec ’06 - 12/08/06 05:35 AM
It’s a balmy 11ºF with almost no wind, allowing me to remain on the porch with my (china, not stoneware) mug of (organically & shade grown, fair trade, Guatemalan roast) coffee warming my hands, and helping my brain fire on all synapses.
Daisy did not spend the night here last … (10 comments)

blog posts: Reflections from the Back Porch, Friday, 1 Dec 2006, “Misfits, loosers and angry loners” - 12/01/06 06:10 AM
This morning, Medford & I joined the “Misfits, loosers and angry loners” group, complete with the misspelled “loosers” (losers), a nice touch.  We joined because Realtor® Teresa pointedly invited us in her focus statement: “Codgers are always welcome.” Although she did not send us an invitation, we were more than … (13 comments)

blog posts: Reflections from the Back Porch, 30 Nov 2006, Flash-Frozen Coffee! - 11/30/06 04:56 AM
OK—Reflections from JUST INSIDE the Back Porch!
I stepped outside on my back porch, as I do every morning, and was greeted by a +6ºF St. Paul morning—exactly as predicted. I may be old, but not stupid—my china, not stoneware, mug of organically & shade grown, fair trade, unpolluted with cream & … (9 comments)

blog posts: REFLECTIONS FROM JAY’S BACK PORCH—FRIDAY, 24 NOV 2006 (EARLY AM) EDITION - 11/24/06 04:50 AM
By Medford Ambrose (My Turn)
Now—how does Jay start these? Oh never mind, he ain’t writing this so I guess I’ll do it my own way. It’s a fine morning, this one. I’ve pretty much recovered from yesterday’s excess. I’m walking over to Jay’s for my morning cup of Folger’s© … (4 comments)

blog posts: Points for Blog Posts? - 09/23/06 11:49 AM
I just realized that I get points here for blog posts ...  Guess YourEastsideBroker.com will have to start writing more about real estate on the Eastside...
I've got a goal to be in the top 10 here on ActiveRain - please help by becoming an associate.
