We've been here awhile. Not since the very beginning, although close to it if you just look at our profile date and our member number (5620). We've been very active over the last six years and have written a slew of posts in that time. Certain questions come up regularly, so we're going to provide a one stop shop to provide you the answer links to the questions we're asked most often.
Q: How do you add the custom map in your signature block?
A: It's the same principle as creating a custom subdivision map. Create the code using Google Maps, copy and drop the code into your signature block.
Q: How do you export your ActiveRain posts and import them to a Wordpress site?
A: Follow the detailed steps on how to import your AR posts to WP. Even if you DON'T have a WP site, it's not a bad idea to periodically export your AR blog posts. Servers go bad. Gremlins eat things. Having YOUR content backed up is smart business.
Q: How do I find my member number or add a Subscribe To Me button in my signature block?
A: Both are answered on this tutorial post since you need your member number to create a Subscribe button.
Q: How do you blog for business and get results?
A: There's a lot of different ways to get there, but for us it's about identifying blogging niches and creating long tail searches. And here are some answers for maybe why your blogging ISN'T working for you.
Q: How can I find past posts by myself or others?
A: There are a few different ways to find things in the Rain. One of our favorites is using the author's last name then the search term in the format "SPEAR: Patio Homes" in the ActiveRain search window.
Q: How do I get a Featured post?
A: Who REALLY knows? We don't! But after paying attention for years we did figure a few things out about Features.
We hope these tips help make your ActiveRain experience better!
Until next Tuesday, just Ask An Ambassador if you need help!
