Congratulations. I have looked through it as well, and it really has some great tips. I have been on AR for about 2 years, and I still have a lot to learn. Thanks Brad for all that AR does for us.

How did I not know this was around? Always nice to get recognition and now I'm heading over to check out the guide!

(((claping)))

Brad, this is great news, any press is good press was the catch phase we all learned in marketing 101...but a good article (or recognition) is what we all strive for in the blogging world. Thanks for the tips and kudos to A/R. Steve Loynd

Congratulations! I didn't know this existed either, but I am not a big tutorial writer, so that might explain it!

This is great! As an ActiveRain Confirmed Loan Officer I am going to refer to this a lot to help the real estate agents I am helping with getting the most out of ActiveRain!

Another invaluable reason to be a part of the ActiveRain Community...

Congratulations! I had no idea this was even available, so am off to check it out.

I didn't know it was availble! I'm checking it out in 2 clicks!!

That's great that it's getting that kind of recognition. I'm a trial and error person, so I haven't written any "how-to's" to get around the Rain. But I've written about how to put money in your pocket from using the Rain!!

Though it wasn't techcrunch or mashable, it's a great start to even getting noticed. At least we're getting the word out that the AR member guide exists. :-)

That is great and should help me clear up some questions I have, thanks!

Didn't even know about this! It's excellent. Everything I have bookmarked recently is in there and more. One stop shopping! Thanks, Brad.

OMIGOSH -- if Renee Burrows has time, she'd be a great contributor/advisor.

woohoo!

Carla - excellent idea, I'll send her an invite now. Thanks. How about it Renee? :-))

I had no idea this was out there. Way to go guys! I will check it out.

I'm joining Missy in the applause.

I'll have to check it out.

Having that Rain Guide is a great idea. One place to check for useful tips. Cool.

AWESOME! Congratulations to everyone who is a contributor!

How do I miss this stuff? I'll go check it out! Very cool!

That's excellent. I never knew it existed, but, I'll look it up.

Way to go! I am not a good tutorial writer, but I am a great tutorial reader - gotta go see if I have missed anything.

Congratulations! Blogging is the way of the future.

Brad: I am so there, thanks for the invite!

There is something wrong with my communication of posting a blog to outside blogs and Bob is having the computer techie dudes look into it!!

I have to say this outside blog comes up strong in search engines when I am looking stuff up and I didn know it existed. Like when I was trying to find the website analytics that go back 4 years you guys kept coming up but no articles matched what I needed! Let me know if you ever find that site!

I wish I could drive down to AZ this week but am having a small surgical procedure on Thurs. Still looking into it but I would probably get home too late. Will you guys ever bring the show to Las Vegas?

Oh question, if I am posting members only it won't come up in the outside blog unless you are an AR member, correct?

Brad,

I'm parking to see an answer to Renee's question (#25). I clicked Members Only posts for my OB to keep them "private." Never considered OBs might work the same as our AR posts.

Always great to have good press. Too bad my OB is still boring and plain. ;-(

Brad - Cool beans!! This outside AR blog is terrific and what a great resource to go to when we need it! Congratulations on the recognition and exposure it is receiving. :)

Bradm You are simply amazing and the best. Thank you for shining bright for all of us. I have learned so much from you. Now if I just had the time to apply it all.

Congratulations Brad. I can't believe I missed this. Then again I haven't been on AR that much lately. Have a great weekend. Great post.

Congrats on the link up Brad. Positive exposure is great no matter where it is!

Cool! Congratulations. I write a few tutorials, but not many as of late. It's been a busy summer...thank godness. Thanks for the ideas of what to blog next.

Brado...Brado ...now why would you want to expose us all to such nonsense?...maybe so they can learn just one new thing?...seriously as usually you've captured the attention of us members who always look for additional education and some entertainment as well:)

Brad - This is awesome news and a great testament to how super that blog is ! I need to check that out more often !

Wow, does this mean I can stop bookmarking every tutorial I run into? Thanks Brad!!!

Renee - if you or another member creates a post for your OB, and it's a members only post, it won't show on the outside blog. They do have to be a member of AR to post publically to your OB. :-) thanks for accepting our invite! You rock!

Brad this is great and like most did not know about it. Although I have seen many it's nice to know I can find them all together. AR is the best

Brad,

Thank you for this information I was unaware of this blog and I have now added it to my favorites :)

Sharon

Wow - that is really super cool! What sort of blog posts are you looking for to be able to make the contributions?

Thanks for the pointer ... so now I have more good stuff to read.

Well, that's cool. I need to keep up with these guys...thanks for the heads-up.

Emily - any post that you feel is helpful to members and fits the Blog theme of "AR Guide." you'll find quite a variety of posts there that range from tips to tech tools that are available here in the rain. All contributions are very much appreciated.

Conratulations and I guess I better check this sout right away. Thanks for everything.

Wow, this sounds like a great blog! Maybe I should look into it. Oh wait, I can't I am on vacation!

Okay, i have so many AR bookmarks and adding this one to the list. Browsing through it, it looks like it can replace some of the others bookmarks I have and be a one-stop shop kind of for me to get things really going. Thanks as usual, Brad.

Great recognition for the contributors Brad. I have pointed many to the Guide when they are getting started with Active Rain.

Like Bev and Bob, I too have somany activerain bookmarks. Now I can find most of what I want to refer back to all in one place. Thanks once again for pointing me in the right direction.

Good job... and I'll have to check out the guide. I might have something in my pile of articles to contribute... I don't know.

Brad, hadn't heard of AR Guide - will check it out and congrats on the recognition. If all the AR tutorials were known to Mashable or any other site, I guarantee we'd be sited and recognized often!

Sharon

Google alerts is important and I definitely use it. Havent heard of Populuu though.

Great News Brad! Active Rain Rocks!

Thanks Brad for the info. I had no idea this was going on. You can bet I will visit this blog site often as I have a lot to learn.

I think I've written one or two posts that might be helpful. I'd never know to add it here.

I had not heard of this and will have to look it up.

This place just keeps getting better every day! This is a huge help for a newbie like me. Thanks Brad!

Hi Brad, did not know about the social marketing thing. thanks for sharing! I do love this Active Rain where i learn so very much on these tutorials, ect. This is just the greatest site I have found on the internet! I am addicted...grin.. I get up every morning, have my coffee, and see what is new on AR... thanks for sharing..

Brad,

That is an interesting bit of information. I sure find AR worthwhile for my efforts.

I can't wait to click over and check this blog out. i have so many bookmarks already, some one stop shopping would be a great help.

Blog-N-Roll Brad...

Now I understand why you encouraged me to write my own tutorial about my discovery. I wrote it but I think it sucks and don't believe it to be worthy. Really :)

TLW...ROAR!

Always great to see your efforts recognized! Congratulations!

Congrats Brad and thanks for pointing us to the Rain Guide. I'll bookmark that and refer to it for the future.

Jeremy - What are you doing here? I thought you were hanging out on the beach getting a tan. You trying to make us jealous or something?

Thanks everyone, I'm glad I posted this now... not so much to boast about the recognition, but to thank the members whose efforts made the outside blog worthy of notice. In doing so, it's obvious that many members didn't even know it existed and can now benefit from it's content as well. TLW - your tutorial does not suck, it is a "roaring" video break-through. Thanks to you and Mike for that. Nice work. :-)

The information here is so awesome. I learn something new everyday.

This blog is news to me. I will have to read it sometime.

I will have to take my time and read through it. It has a lot of information I have been looking for. All in one place. Thanks.
