When I joined Active Rain last year, the top person in my state had about 13,000 points.  I remember thinking that is a lot of points.  I can't imagine writing that much.

Well here I am today with a total of 300 blog posts, 50 featured and 200,000 points.

Back when I hit the 100,000 point mark I mentioned that I am a 2 finger typist.  I know that surprised a few and gave others a chuckle.  Believe it or not I still am a two finger guy.  On a rare occasion I can get a third finger going.  Old dogs sometimes really don't learn some new tricks.

Since joining Active Rain, I have made many new friends, too many to list here.  I have shared a lot of my knowledge and experience, but gained much more than I gave.  This forum is tremendous.  I never thought I would be a blogger, but here I am. 

I would be neglect if I did not thank David Kucic who invited me here.  He convinced me to check out Active Rain, something I would never have done on my own.  The rest is history.

Every time I think I am hitting writers block a get a surge of creative energy.  I never thought I would have enough to say that I would be posting number 300.  When joining Active Rain, the thought of 200,000 points was such a foreign thought.  No one was even close to 100,000.  With the addition of http://www.localism.com/ there were additional ways to reach the public, improve our search engine presence and gain even more points.

Since jointing I have invited a few folks.  Those that did join actually join, came after me asking them more than a couple of times.  The most active of that group is Woo Sally from our office at Century 21 Liberty Homes.  In a very short period of time Celeste "Sally' Cheeseman has climbed to the number two blogger in Hawaii and will reach the 100,000 mark in the next few weeks.

I want to give a special thank you, to those who have created this exceptional forum for sharing of knowledge and experiences.  They have done a great job of building and constantly improving Active Rain!

I also want to thank the regulars here on Active Rain who welcomed me when I first joined and encouraged me.  This has been an extremely pleasant and fruitful experience and I am looking forward to next 200,000 points.

Congrats Randy!  I think it's a great accomplishment to have 50 FEATURED posts, to me meaning they are valuable and informative.  You're not just blogging for points.  Ive read some members posts thinking "what was the point, and why did they post that here?".  I'm guessing that they are writing for points, and noticed they haven't had a featured post yet.   Good for you!

Yep, my reaction the same when I signed in six months ago and saw all the points. But it's fun, it's good for business, and the points just add up!
