IN 2010 I LEARNED TO BLOG - THANKS ACTIVE RAIN Last February 12, 2010 I discovered Active Rain and quickly began to learn the ropes and the world of blogging entered my life. I am thankful for what I have learned on this site and am so glad I entered the world of Active Rain. Here are my Top Ten things I have learned on Active Rain: 1. AR is more than blogging - it is a community! 2. Earning points is motivating and fun! 3. You will gain new friends on AR! 4. AR is VERY addictive! 5. AR will become a part of your daily routine! 6. Getting featured is way cool! 7. SEO, linking and long tails are some new terms in my vocabulary. 8. The AR staff are wonderful, warm folks who are always willing to help. 9. AR is great for my business! 10. You will learn more than you ever thought about blogging with AR! I am so glad that I stumbled up Active Rain. I have a ton of new friends and love having AR a part of my day. If you haven't discovered the benefits of blogging - get cracking! See you in the Rain!

You've been spilling out blogs like no one's business since you received the iPad. Now, I got to catch up with you....

But seriously, why do I feel like I've known you for a long time but you're telling me you've only been on here since Feb 2010?

Very well stated. You found A.R. about a month before I did. At this point I'd say Active Rain is a life changing experience.
