I actually had this passed on to me, and thought it was worth sharing for a little laugh. I hope this does not offend anyone and if it does, I apologize. Anyways, it has to do with a Craigslist post about a woman stating what she is looking for in a … (0 comments)
Hello all this is my first post to Active Rain :) Seems extremely busy almost a new post every second so I am sure I will be gone and forgotten in just a few minutes. By joining the active rain community I hope to learn from some of the more seasoned … (14 comments)
AR is starting to remind me of a complicated video game, where the more you are into it, the more you discover the secret passageways that are not initially apparent!
Can someone please, please, tell me what I'm doing wrong, or is it just "the system"?

This is my first post! I want to share my experience in working on HGTV's House Hunters. While I can't give away any trade secrets. I can say the experience was fun and rewarding. Other agents were envious when they heard I was on national television, clients were impressed: "My agent is … (4 comments)
A new experience for me is "social networking" on the Internet. Yes, I know. Duh! Look, this blog post is on ActiveRain...a social networking site. My point exactly. This is a new experience. I tell my students learn something new every day. But, I digress.
Too cool....1.5 years on AR and now I've hit my 300th post. Wish I had something profound to say, but after 300 posts, I'm really lax on any cogent and tangible new thoughts. I could say that I have some great friends and that my life is so great b/c of … (12 comments)
The power of active rain amazes me. Being new to the whole blogging technology, I never imagined I would have new and past clients use the active rain site to find me. I was only anticipating the social networking of meeting other realtors/agents from different states. I would like to think … (4 comments)
I found out that you can copy and paste your listings from Baltimoresun.com directly into Craigslist. Your Craigslist posting will appear with the same photos, description, price, phone number, etc that we have. It only takes a few minutes and the best part if you don't have to write anything out … (3 comments)
The following article is my #1 ranking article for traffic (page views) since I began blogging 13 months ago. The article was written in July of 2007: it currently has 7,538 views to this date June 4, 2008. The key to writing a blog post has been a hotly debated and … (8 comments)
I innocently made a post the other day about a conversation I had with a friend who also happens to be a Realtor. You Can't have It Both Ways 
My daughter is in the 4th grade, and as many of you know, my wife and I homeschool our kids. However, my daughter has started to not like a certain subject...Compositions! I have to admit, in school, neither did I, but I told her that everyday, when I blog, that is … (20 comments)
I had kind of a scare today. My daughter and I went to the ranch to ride our horses. While she had her horse (Kayley) tied to the hitching post, Kayley spooked. She actually broke the hitching post and pulled it out of the ground which, of course, spooked her more. The hitching … (8 comments)
I think it's pretty normal for most of us these days to have a cell phone and even multiple lines. I have five, and if you have kids or a business your probably do too! It gets pretty expensive so I would love to find a way to eliminate my land … (12 comments)
Springtime is not the only "green" thing in town! It seems like everyone is jumping on the environmental wagon. Some people would like to join in this movement, but they aren't sure what they can do.
We have become a disposable society. Our landfills are filling up at astronomical rates. Recycling … (5 comments)
Hey guys I have a question.
Being new to this community (less than a week old) I felt this would be a perfect forum for this post. 
At the beginning of January, I posted a blog about my reasons for trying to live more of a green lifestyle. I therefore have been trying to post articles and information that I think are interesting and relevant as I see them come into the area. Here is an article I … (3 comments)

The Web 2.0 political campaigns could teach the real estate industry well.
While I was giving a web 2.0 product presentation for a Real Estate company the other day, I was reminded how SLOW the industry is to adapt any type of new media opportunities into their arsenals. You really … (2 comments)
Noteworthy statistics:
I was thinking about what I could write about for my 100th post. My 50th was June 11, 2006, and I included some of my own personal favorites that I wrote! Today I was getting comments to a post I wrote in June 2006, so I thought maybe there are some you … (20 comments)

Big changes are happening on AR. Did you all get this letter from Bob? I wonder why no one addressed this. Is Bob leaving AR? You've got to be kidding me, right? Well, I am in shock at the letter I received and you might be too. Read on...

We've taken the time to put together our thoughts for a post. 
This will be a quick post. Have you ever: (a) typed out a lengthy blog; (b) clicked on the "Post Blog Entry" button; and (c) find that your blog is completely lost?
Ok someone please tell me how this points system works? I linked activerain to the front page of my website almost 2 weeks ago and I have yet to receive points nor an explanation as to why there are no points awarded. I've seen some blogs on here that are really … (1 comments)

It's Raining, It's Pouring...
No doubt, one of the great blog posting inhibitions is that it's not worth the time and effort; because, you fear, that not enough of the right people will even see it. 
I am still in my first year here on ActiveRain and consider myself a rookie. I post on a pretty regular basis and enjoy hearing feedback from the AR community almost as much as I enjoy reading other AR bloggers posts. Lately I have been watching my statistics page. I thought … (4 comments)

It's Thursday morning. You take a phone call, and while your client is giving you an update on their listing, a bolt of pure white lightening strikes your brain with a STINKING BRILLIANT idea for a blog. No one's posted ANYTHING LIKE THIS before, so you flip over the pressed paper … (37 comments)
This is NOT easy for me to admit, but I think some of the pictures I've posted that I had permission to use or even PAID for....wasn't that person's image to begin with. Which means I asked permission from someone who took that picture from someone else!!! Or I paid to … (12 comments)
I set up a blog on Realtor.com today. They have launched a new blog at www.talk.realtor.com and are encouraging agents to set up an account etc. for free, I took the bait and posted a few articles, thinking hey, this could be another form of exposure.
Has anyone other than me noticed that the verification words have changed over the past few weeks? 
In case you missed them, the first five posts in the series can be found at:
Hey everybody.
Kenneth Harvey, a syndicated columnist with the Washington Post wrote a great article on this conundrum of current borrowers with mortgage delinquencies and looming foreclosures. Kenneth's article deserves a closer examination. He uses in his research a study recently completed by federal researchers.
They examined the 819 recent prime and sub … (11 comments)

I wrote about this on my other blog this morning, but I feel it bears repeating. I was strolling around my neighborhood this morning walking past sign after sign posted in the healthy grass of my neighbors yards when it struck me. Every real estate for sale sign in my neighborhood … (0 comments)
