Woo hoo just made #7 on ActiveRain in New York. Who'd a Cheer thought it? In a state that now has 7030 members on the network I have made it to #7 in points.

Blog I really don't blog for the points I blog because I love to write and I blog because it brings me business but this makes me feel good anyway. I have been focusing on my reaching 300000 points as a personal goal and was so surprised when my rank moved up a notch today. I never thought I would catch the bloggers ahead of me. Consistent posts and some luck at getting a few featured posts recently and I am here.

I am so thankful that I found this network. It has reignited passion for writing and taught me so much. To those of you just starting out trust me when I say you can top me if you a consistent and excited about your writing. Let me know if you need any assistance. I am always willing to help a newbie like you out.

Congratulations Paddy!! You should be proud of yourself!! I am number 72 in Texas...and had a goal of getting to number 40 by the time I turn 40 (May)...but I have been stuck at 72-74 for a while now. I guess I did not calculate that the closer you get to the top, the stiffer the competition. I, ,like you, enjoy writing...so it's not as much about the points; however, the points are a good motivator!! Again, congratulations. I am sure you have invested a lot of time and effort to get where you are today!!

Woo Hoo! I remember when I started noticing that I was rising in the ranksin our area. I'm #1 for Daytona Beach and #5 for Florida. And I see no reason why you shouldn't be proud of that. It's a huge accomplishment. It takes a LOT of blogging and commenting and maybe recruiting to get that many points Congrats!
