Let the Sun Shine!

Home Inspector with Complete Home Inspections, Inc. TN Lic#050

      Today is 1 July 2015 and already, I have already noticed several changes in ActiveRain. The spellchecker is working, the annoying ads are gone and the whole system, in general, seems to be working much faster. I certainly hope that this is an indication that the new owners and management team is going to be focused on making improvements to the platform and hopefully, repair the damaged relationships caused by the past owners.
     I am eager to see an official blog from the new ownership team and what their vision for ActiveRain is. Perhaps we can all make a fresh start by reaching out to the new management team and congratulate them for all of their hard work. I can only speculate, there has been a lot of work that has been done behind the scenes to prepare for this day.
    Today is a day of celebration! Gone are the dark clouds! The sun has come out and is shining once again. Nothing wrong with copping the rays of hope and laughter beaming from the heavens. Rain is nice as it does replenish the moisture in the soil. We all need the sun to grow. Let the sun shine!

It is a great day at Complete Home Inspections!

Michael, it is just day 1 and initial changes seem positive... but I'll reserve further excitement until I see what happens in the weeks and months to come. What happens after the first euphoria will be the true test.

Hi Michael. I noticed the spell checker is back-hooray! Funny, I block ads out--I hadn't noticed them - seems like I'm one of the few, but I'm glad they're gone anyway.

Maybe they did the same thing I do when my sites start to get slow. I strip them down to the basics, and slowly add to it while I monitor performance. If these guys are smart, then they are doing the same thing. I have noticed that the traffic on my outside blog has really fallen off a cliff, hopefully that will improve.

Michael I am hoping for some of the past sunshine to return to the Rain.  We will know soon enough if it does or not!
