Nathan:  I have been on AR for three months now (and LOVE it!!).  I have gotten tips and inspiration from every one of these folks.  I just never wrote a nice tribute to them as you did. 

To Dorene, Jennifer, Loreena, Jason, Liz, and Marchel:  What he said!! 

Kim - glad you have found value as I have from these folks...they are tops in my book.  See you around~!

Nathan, Thanks so much! I think you are doing a great job with your blog.  It gets easier the longer you do it.  I had my year anniversary this last January, wow time flies.

Marchel - thanks...I appreciate the compliment!!!  Take care & talk to you soon...

Nathan, I know most of these AR'ers and you picked a winning hand. See you in the Rain!

Nathan, nice Hi-fives to some great Rainers! Way to go!

Nathan, Great ThemThem to the High 5 List.

Gary, Marey & Duane - thank you all for dropping by and glad you appreciated my appreciation of some great bloggers!!!

High five!  That is great to make some good connections and help in growing your business.          

Hey Nathan~ Yep...that's a pretty classy group you have assembled there. We all learn from them.

Naoma - yeah, I actually thought about the High Five thingy since I always give my son (15 mo's) and wife (she gets so annoyed) a high five all the time for everything from saying a word to cooking a great meal...I'm kinda goofy that way!

Doug - they are a classy group and either I'm lucky or AR is jam packed with friendly, outgoing and genuine people...either way, I'm glad I have gotten to speak to all of them from time to time!

Nathan - You are too sweet!  Thanks for including me into your five (especially in number one position) gee how many of my buds will I forward this to!  I love your stuff!

Dorene - you are welcome...surprised you on this one but you deserve the kudos!

Nathan...UM? Where am I? Just Kidding! Nice tribute...and nice background too. Very patriotic of you. By the way...for some reason my emails to you get kicked back or have a hard time going through. Guess I'll just use the "contact me" button on AR. we'll have to do lunch sometime.

Kim - thank you for dropping by - & yes, you should have been on this list for sure!!!   Yeah, good ole firewall is a big pain in the you know what and I'll call you for lunch!!!

Hey Nathan - Thanks for the mention as one of your "high five".  Good stuff!  It takes time to get the hang of this blogging thing, but you are definitely well on your way.

Great bloggers you have highlighted above, I have read posts from many of them and have learned so much. 

Jason - hey, wish I could have made it down to the AR members meeting (didnt get an invite) but I'm thinking about doing a roundup here in Dallas area this spring!  Anyways, glad you saw the High five - you deserve it!

Patricia - glad you enjoy these folks as well - I could have listed Brad Anderhson and others but felt like highlighting the five folks that I have had a chance to touch base with personally...

Awesome them them!! So, how do you change your background up? Very neat!!

This is a great post and I too am thankful for what I have learned here on the Rain. I am going to contact Jennifer Castillo to see if she can help me too with widgets.

Sharon

Christina - I sent you an email regarding Brad's blog and the activeraincustomizer that gives you the code to change your blog page.

Sharon - The widgets code for the weather widget I have was not available online last time but if you want it just EMAIL me as I'm not checking AR's comments near as much!

Nathan way to go in spotlighting some good members here at Active Rain. I am familiar with a few of them and they are excellent.

It is refreshing to see that you are taking the time to thank helpful people. Very Cool post.
