Tonight I got together with 7 of my co-workers and did an ActiveRain Blogging Class - what fun.  I had told my co-workers about blogging and ActiveRain at our quarterly meeting when our Principal Brokers asked if I would share my greatest business building tool.  Of course - those of you that have been on the Rain know how powerful this wonderful community is and what blogging can do for your business but for all of these great agents it was a new adventure.

So, tonight we got together at our La Pine Office, armed with laptops, photos and some fun things to do in Central Oregon.  Class went well, we learned how to post to localism, insert photos with descriptions, spell check, adding associates, creating associate groups, subscribing to blogs and joining groups.

Please visit my fellow co-workers - see what their first or in a few cases not first but fairly new posts are.

This is myself, our Principal Broker Dianne Willis and her husband, Broker Bob commenting on their first ActiveRain Blogs - Bob's First Blog is Fishing The Frozen Lake!

Ok... so Bob needs to add a photo - to his post and to his profile - but we will get him up to speed.

Kelly is a mean tennis player and Sunriver is a great place to play Tennis - Many of our visitors and home owners take advantage of the beautiful tennis courts in Sunriver - Kelly's Blog is Tennis Anyone?Sunriver Courts Are Free of Snow

Heidi wrote about The High Desert Museum which is one of the big attractions located between Bend and Sunriver with exhibits changing all the time this is a great place to go time and time again.  Central Oregon's High Desert Museum.

Gerrie Wright - this lady has a great slogan - "You Can't Go Wrong With Wright" Gerrie is a long time resident of our area and she and I can swap stories for days about the things we did growing up.... she will make you laugh with her post Want To Go Skinny Dipping? 

Amy Campbell, which some of you have met, and is my new partner, wrote a great article about Crosswater Golfing - Amy actually has first hand knowledge of this course and for many of our clients this course is a course they only dream of playing on.  Fore What's on the Links at Crosswater, Sunriver Oregon.

So there you have it... my first ActiveRain class and what it produced... I am very proud of each of these agents for stepping up to the plate, venturing into an unknown and new area of marketing.  I hope each of you will support them the way you have supported me.
