What I Learned This Week At ActiveRain- June 23-June 29, 2013.

 

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!

Charles BuellJune 23:  Charles Buell    Dogs! Don’t Mark Your Territory Today!

I think I learn more from our Home Inspectors than most any other profession here.  Charles’ post is one everyone should read, especially if you are prone to tackling any DIY house projects.

 

 

 

Jill WinchelJune 24: Jill Winchel   Have You Done Anything Healthy for Yourself Today?

I’ve been meaning to try some juicing or smoothies and/or kale but you know how that goes.  So I’m going to give Jill’s recipe a try!  Stop over and also meet a new ActiveRain Member.

 

 

 

Sam MillerJune 25:  Sam Miller   New Instagram Group-Please Post Your Instagram Links Here.

Just when you think you have a handle on your social media, you realize it’s time to “get social” in another one.  I’ve only played a little with Instagram but maybe it’s time to do more.  

 

 

 

carra RileyJune 26:  Carra Riley   How to Create a URL From a Photo or Flyer

Carra’s post was featured but I wanted to make sure more members saw this.  If you’re looking for another way to make yourself stand out as The Listing Agent, then read on.  

 

 

 

Conrad AllenJune 27:  Conrad Allen    Do You Remember the MLS Books of Old?

I was an agent for one year in the mid 80’s and I do remember how different it was than it is now.  What I found interesting was the number of search services there are for Real Estate.

 

 

 

George SoutoJune 28:  George Souto     Create Your Own Graphics

I love learning about new apps/software etc and I can’t wait to check out this one.  And, if you’re looking for a way to personalize your blogs, etc, I’d look into this one!

 

 

 

Dick GreenbergJune 29:  Dick Greenberg    Bicycle Dreams  

I love watching the X-Games and I encourage you to tune in if you’ve never seen these young athletes.  This video, shared by Dick, should have many of us thinking back to our sweet innocent childhood dreams.



Please don’t forget to check out Pat Kennedy’s, Charita Cadenhead’s and Connie  Harvey’s Weekly Series Posts.

 

Thank you for letting me do what I love to do each day... learn something new!
