Today, Newbie Tuesday reminds you to visit the Active Rain Social Roster and check out the new faces. Each day, the site is updated with new member information. It's a great way to welcome other members and establish more networking partners within your specific niche, or geographic region.
For example, here's a link to the top members who joined today, October 23rd. Here are the overall top members who joined in 2012 - you can easily see the members who have jumped into blogging with both feet. If you're curious, here are the top members ( by points) who joined in 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006.
Frankly, being a Newbie can be a bit intimidating and overwhelming. Active Rain is our professional network. Its member, and membership success, is valuable to us individually, as well as collectively, as my pal Richard Yates writes in his most recent feature, "How to increase ActiveRain Memberships."
Therefore, please take Richard's advice and do what you can to increase memberships - and take my advice and do what you can to welcome and support our new ( and old) members. In fact, Dominic Kirchner has a feature today - he's just passed his 25,000 point mark. Let's encourage him to keep on blogging, and leave our congratulations! It's good for all of us.
I hope you like what you've read. If so, please hit the subscribe button.

Debb,
I heartily agree and will go over to Dominic's site, and give him encouragement. It is good for all of us...Happy Tuesday and thanks for the glowing remarks. A
Yep, he's been here a while and plugging away at it...:) You are welcome - and the glowing remarks are well deserved.
Debb - this must have taken time to link all these interesting statics which I'm going to check out after I comment. Active Rain is a curious place where daily bloggers disappear without a trace and new people move up the ranks within months. It's always refreshing to stop by your blog and read something positive! You and your blog rock GF!
Hi Debb, thanks for the information will be checking out the links...suggested.
Hi Debb, I think there is something wrong with the AR roster-I joined in June of 2011 and have over 161,000 points Deb and my name and photo don't even show up. Any insight as to whom I call?
I know Suzanne McLaughlin told me she tried visiting new members years ago and was stopped for "spamming". This is quite a welcome change, Debb.
Marie, hey it's good to see you on the page with all those happy faces. :)
Hi there Kris - it's fun to see how folks are doing and I like to encourage those folks who haven't been as active...figure there's a reason for it. ;)
Thanks Rebecca! :)
Joanna, I sent you an email - you're right-something's wrong.
Hi Ron, well I suppose if you're trying to sell them something it wouldn't be good, but if you're just encouraging and commenting on their posts - I can't see that there would be a problem.
Hi Debb-It is wonderful you highlight a newbie each week. You are such a special lady.
Debb, I love this new link provided by ActiveRain. A few years ago I used to be more active looking for newbies, but I dropped off the map for awhile myself. Thanks for the reminder to get back on the wagon. I will follow your links shortly.
I go here from time to time as well to see who are the top folks each month as well.
Hi Debb... I joined about a 15 months earlier than I remembered.. I had filled out something way back when and never did anything.. then i started blogging one year ago.. a newbie.. and this is great info and encouragement to get others to welcome newbies .. learn and share! I'm headed over to say hello!
DeBB, That was fun....I checked out who joined the same year as me and there are so many familiar faces and some of my best friends! I recall some of who I first met as a newbie, I try to be as nice to other newbies.
Hi Debb. I just loved what you have started for Newbie Tuesdays. I will go over and Welcome Dominic too. 2012 has a great bunch of bloggers, and I am looking to see more and more of them contribute to our AR community.
Hi Debb. Yes, it's fun to look at this by year. BTW, Joanna shows up in 2010. I think I sent her an invite the end of the year, but wasn't active until 2011.
I have to thank Tom Braatz who started me here in the rain several years ago....we are both very consistent, and we need more newbies!
Debb,
Without question being new in this group can be very overwhelming and hard to figure what to do to break out of the new person mold. I will check out the years you posted as I am curious. I will aslo go to say hello to Dominic.
Hi Debb, I love your links. I joined and made the line up in 2010. I think it was in October and I didn't really start splashing until January of 2011. Very cool links!
Hey Peeps, slammed with a jiggy deal and trying to salvage things - I've read each comment and appreciate you. I'll be over to visit you and your blog post and will try to reply to each of your commens here as I get time. Thanks again for the visit.
Sharon. as are YOU. I must come visit - I miss ya.
Mary, it does make it easy to welcome new members.
