149 Comments on How To Create and Maximize Your Outside Blog
Hi Michele - Bob said he'd take care of this for us while I'm away to New York. Let me know if you're still not geting the AR newsletter in the next couple days. Make sure it's not going into your spam folder once it does start coming. Keep me posted. Thanks. :-)
I am relatively new to Active Rain and I have to tell you that all the information you provide in your blogs is proving to be invaluable to a relative "newbe" like myself. I really appreciate all that you do for us Brad.
Thank you!
Thanks David - here and happy to help if you ever need. :-)
Nice guide to help users creating a good and presentable blog. As not all people who start their blog are expert and they usually don't know how to go ahead with this so, this would certainly help such people.

Brad - I love this post and think it's a must read for any new AR member. And - I'm entering it into the Scavenger Hunt! Wish me luck!
Thanks Christianne - good luck with the hunt, and thanks again for your sweet comment and gesture, now I really hope you win!!
Hey wait a minute... what scavenger hunt?? :-O lol~
Thanks Brad - always good to see how to maximize ActiveRain to achieve phenomenal results. As involved as your blog post is in walking you through setting up an outside blog, it's actually quite easy and simple to do.
Brad - I missed this when it was first posted but so happy I had to find it thanks to the Scavenger Hunt. The only step it looks like I've missed doing is #7. It's a great resource for newbies and some of us oldies too;)
Good info here. I really need to take this and run with it and make my blog stand out. Thanks.
Thanks for the tips and being on my scavenger hunt!
I have my outside AR blog and this information was VERY helpful to me - thanks! This is also a great blog for the AR scavenger hunt.
Brad- chalk one up for the scavenger hunt, and gave me a chance to review your post on outside blogs.
Because you are on my list of authors for the scavenger hunt I read your post and really like the information, thank you.
When I try to create a domain name for my outside blog, anything I enter is the red circle with a minus sign. Even when I type this: askdjfuoiweurofdvnjnv;a it still tells me it's taken. Why am I having this problem? Thanks!
Hi Jackie - I am off to take a look now and see what's happening. I'll get back to you as soon as I can figure out why it's not accepting your domain. Make sure you're not adding "WWW" or the HTTP, and also be sure you're including .com. IE: jackieconnelly.com that is all you need to enter into Box #1 before checking availability. Also no dashes, no spaces or symbols. That will also cause the "unavailable" return. :-)
As Usual thanks for all the info. Your my scavenger hunt entry.
Brad,
I just upgraded my outside blog and added the Apture widget. However, I'm getting this error from Apture when checking if the script is installed right:
"The Apture script tag appears before most of the content in the web page's HTML code. Please move it closer to the bottom of the web page."
Are you familiar with this...how do I use Apture?
Please help.
Thanks,
Chris
p.s. I love Fairfield. I grew up in Walnut Creek and went to school at Sac State.
Hi Chris - I sent in a request to our tech support dept and they did respond with "We're aware of the issue and are tracking it." This usually means it's not a simple fix and it could take a while to get resolved. I know they're doing their best to stay on top of this technical stuff and will get this corrected, just no ETA right now. Thanks for pointing this out so we can fix it.
ps. I use to work in Walnut Creek, I managed the First American office on Mt Diablo Blvd. for many years. Small world eh?? :-)
Thanks Brad, I'm not too computer savvy, but I'm going to try to impliment your suggestions.
Hi Liz - and if you need any help at all, just let me know. :-)
