New to blogging

Hello Teresa,

Welcome to the Newbie Group and Active Rain.  I suggest you read the many posts here in the Newbie Group -- they will help you learn about the Active Rain Community, also read the AR Guidelines.  If you have questions, just post it and someone will stop by to help you.  Look through the many Groups -- you will want to join the ones that you're interested in.  There is no limit to how many groups you can join. 

Good luck and have fun - - oh, by the way, AR can be addictive! 

 Good Morning Teresa,

Welcome to Active Rain. Well you are in the Newbies Group, so that is a good start. If you lick on the link in the left hand column titled Active Rain Instructions, A Must Read, you will find some other links to a wealth of information to help you get started here. Check out some of the groups also, as they can also help you. The Practice Group, lets you write your blog, and some of the best bloggers here will critique it until you have it just right. other than that, just read,read,read, ask questions if you need help. And most of all leave your umbrella home, and have fun playing here in the rain. Good Luck, and Have a Great Day. 

Howdy Teresa

Hi,I am new to this concept as well and do not have a clue where to begin.

I am going to keep checking out the site until I think of what to do.

Welcome from Illinois!! You are going to love it here! The people are GREAT!! Everyone is always willing to help and give advice!! Our advice to you is....READ, READ, READ than make some comments and write a post. Write about community events, community information, market reports, what you have to offer. It is endless. You can write about why you named your dog Snoopy or how you met your best friend! Good luck and welcome!!
