A Great Day on AR!
This is my wedding picture from 1993 (still happily married)and I posted it for any bloggers looking to get featured. If you are not sure how it will go, Just toss it out there to see what happens! SOMEONE will pick it up! Here is my story!
When I started Active Rain I was in awe of all the agents with these amazing and informative posts. I was also inspired to write more posts that would intrigue and also entertain everyone at the same time. If AR were a news paper I would be in the "Lifestyles" section talking about my community; Big Canoe in the North Georgia mountains like I do on my main blog.
My hopes were not to have anyone come to me as a "super-source" of information, but to read my posts informally like you would login to Perez Hilton's blog without anyone else really knowing. The post that I had featured was possibly my most "naked" post of all. It wasn't pretty, funny, or informative. It was a true question about joining a real estate board. POSSIBLY even a blog I might choose to skip if I were scanning the posts.
The responses I had were honest, non-critical, and all across the "board" (Pun intended). I really want to say thank you to everyone that responded to my post and thanks to you I was featured! My advice to any new-comers is to quit worrying about what everyone else is writing and blog about what's on your mind.
Truth be known it couldn't have happened at a better time because BOTH of my kids are at their friends' houses for sleepovers, and this made my night! CHEERS!!!!!!

PS I can't leave a post without a question. It said I was featured on my home page but where do I find it and how do I get a star? :)
