I Learn Something New at ActiveRain Every Day and It's Time I Showed You. June 17 - June 23, 2012
I learn something new every day at ActiveRain! With this series I try to highlight one post per day that gave me that “lightbulb” moment. It could be something techie, about Real Estate, about a place or person!
June 17: Joni Staples. What to Do with The With Your Localism Posts That Your Write for the Contest!
I don’t often include posts that have already been Featured on the AR main page but I hope everyone sees what Joni wrote. Since we’ve all been writing more and more local posts, don’t let it stop there. Read on for Joni’s advice!
June 18: Michael Hobbs The Wal- Mart Effect On Housing Prices.
I know that my former community in Delray fought vigorously to prevent a Wal-Mart from being built near by. Maybe they should have read this post!
June 19: Lizette Fitzpatrick. Shocking That Thieves Now Target Children For Identity Theft
Who would think to monitor your child's credit? Read this to make sure your children’s information is safe.
June 20: Amy Mullen 7 Wacky, Weird, and Wonderful Garages.
You’ve got to see these unusual garages that Amy shows us. Any buddy out there seen
any of these??
June 21: Darwin Feldman The 6 Tips Towards Your Successful Early Retirement.
I think the key word in Darwin’s title is “Successful”. Retirement is definitely not what it used to be. I look in the mirror and how I feel and I could swear I was only in my 40’s. (OK... late 40’s) But retirement springs up on you quicker than you think. Many retirees are reinventing themselves.. not content to just sit around waiting for the call from the Big Man Up There. READ THIS!
June 22: Tom Arstingstall Why Do I Have Water Damage? Isn’t Stucco Waterproof?
If you’re new to stucco or even if you’re not, this is a must-read article.
June 23: Richard Weisser The Aha Moment: I Can Do That!
I love learning something new! Richard puts his take on it and it definitely is something to ponder.
Thank you for letting me do what I love to do each day... learn something new!

Hi Kathy. You always have such a great list of not-to-be-missed blogs! Active Rain offers up such a glorious plenty of ideas and information, but at this time of year it's hard to do it justice.
So many posts to read...and so little time! Thanks for bringing these to my attention. I learn so much at AR.
