How To Get Started on ActiveRain

Reblogger Debbie Gartner
Home Builder with The Flooring Girl

I was just searching through some of my bookmarks and came across this oldie but goodie.  This is perfect for newbies and some good reminders for the veterans.

If you're new, these would be some of my priorities:

1.  Getting started in 3 easy steps

2.  Active Rain University - just do it - well worth it, and for those who have been doing this a while, consider a refresher. 

 

If/when Raincamp is near you, then go.  Can't wait for next week.  this will be my first.
