Jerry Newman, one of my new favorite bloggers and almost a “newbie” himself, has come up with a way to introduce our Newbies to ActiveRain and at the same time give them a boost with their blogging efforts.
So please allow me to introduce these ActiveRain Newbies and Fellow Stagers:
Carol Dunn Carol is the owner of Creative Edge Staging Solutions in Madison Wisconsin. I love that Carol has found her niche market- owner occupied homes and has tailored her services to fill that need. Her website is professional and full of good information for the consumer and she’s already off to a great start with her blogs. Her titles are catchy and she’s already learned some of the good blogging tricks like including photos and different color fonts.

Kim Gaston Kim is the owner of Front Porch Interiors in Colorado Springs, CO and while only an AR member since September of this year, she’s already written 4 well done posts about staging. Kim is what I think is an example of “today’s” stager in that she is also a Certified Color Consultant and Interior Redesign Industry Specialist. 
Patricia Van Vliet Patricia is a co-owner along with Beth Riddell of Stylish Staging in Lawrence and Kansas City, KS. I have to admit I picked Patricia because she is in Lawrence and since my husband is from there and we visit the area once a year.. I intend on having my next ActiveRain Meet Up in Kansas! Patricia is already on the right track here at Active Rain with some good Before and After posts with great photos. Let encourage her to write more by paying a visit to her blog.My one tip? Make blogging a daily habit like flossing your teeth (you DO know you’re supposed to do that daily don’t you?) I began my efforts here at ActiveRain by being kind of a lurker. I thought I was doing well to write 2 or 3 a month! But after a 30 in 30 Challenge in 2010, I knew I could do better than that, and in fact I wanted to do more. For me the hardest part was picking a topic. I find that once that’s done, the rest is pretty easy.
I wrote a post after the challenge outlining just what I got out of the 30 in 30 challenge and it was even Featured. And beginning with the first of this year, I made a personal commitment to write a post a day. How has it benefited my blogging efforts? My inquiries come from the Internet and I owe that to my blogging efforts here at ActiveRain.
