active rain: How Did You Find Active Rain? - 07/05/09 11:24 AM

How Did You Find Active Rain? We were on line when brokers were not allowing us to use email for business. That seems like eons ago. We still had those MLS books we carried around with us! Do you remember those? Back in 1997 Real Estate was really just in a pre- infancy state on the Internet. We were on the leading edge of what was happening on line but that is a different story. We went offline in 2002 and that is another story also. In 2006 we decided to go on line again with our new real estate brokerage. … (97 comments)

WOW! 900 Posts Is A Lot Of Posts! When I looked at my home page on Active Rain this morning I saw that I had posted my 900th post last night. Then I thought about how many posts that really is! I wrote my first post on June 25, 2007. The next post after that was on July 1, 2009. It took me a whole five days to discover that you get points to write! There was NO turning back after that!

active rain: Active Rain Blogs- Call To Action In Your Blogging - 03/16/09 04:40 PM

There has been a lot of heated discussion surrounding whether you should have a call to action and point of contact information on the posts that you write or not. There are people online including here on Active Rain that say that you should NOT put a footer, a call to action or a point of contact at the end of your posts because if the reader really wants to find you; they will. This is not always the case and I certainly don't want to be the one who loses a prospect if I apply this theory. Most people … (73 comments)

What A Difference A Year Makes! The first post I ever wrote on Active Rain was one year ago and was titled; What A Great Place Active Rain Is.

What I did know was about tags, keywords and SEO and all … (122 comments)

active rain: Active Rain Headers- Do You Like What You See? - 06/26/08 10:10 AM

Active Rain Blog Headers- Do You Like What You See? Customizing your Active Rain blog using the Active Rain Customizer is very popular right now. You can cruise around Active Rain and see all the different headers and blog themes. Some are simple while others are very extravagant. I was hesitant in changing over to a customized header using the Active Rain Customizer because many of the blogs I have visited just take too long to load. Since we know that there are still many people using 56K modems on dial up this is a great concern. Research shows that if … (65 comments)

active rain: Active Rain Subscriber Information- All I Had To Do Was Ask!?! - 05/03/08 11:42 AM

I like to know who subscribes to my Active Rain blog. Every year I send out Christmas gratitude letters to each one of my subscribers. Last year when I did this, many of our subscribers did not have their mailing addresses anywhere to be found on their blog which made my job quite difficult to get a letter out to each one. I did personally email some subscribers but there was no way I could get to all of them. At that time I had about 200+ subscribers. Now I have 591 subscribers so you can imagine how many people will … (71 comments)

The Problem is What?

When I received a comment from Virginia Hepp telling me that she was being driven batty by my blog that was making her scroll to read my posts I became very concerned.

I emailed my good friend Missy to check it out for me since I had no problem viewing my blog. Well, Missy viewed our blog fine from Firefox which is the same browser that I use however when she viewed our blog in IE; there was the problem.

Why is this my concern?
I could easily tell everyone to use Firefox instead of IE and … (44 comments)
