My 100th post - Finally, I get to celebrate, Active Rain style

Remember when 100 seemed like such a HUGE number? Save 100 dollar bills? You've got to be kidding, that will take forever! Drive 100 miles - will we ever get there?

Every year, my school aged children celebrate Day 100. They bring 100 of something to school to kick off the celebration. It's a week long party --

100

As I approached my 100th post here on Active Rain - I thought about their celebrations and their excitement. It has taken me way longer than 100 days to reach my 100th post, but for me it's still a milestone to celebrate, to get excited about. For me, it's time to bring my "100 of something" to Active Rain. For my party, it's time to share my 100 favorite posts.

One hundred posts seemed to take forever, I never thought I'd get here! Thanks to all my Active Rain family and friends - I've learned more than I can ever re-pay... Hope you find something new here that adds value to you - a few of these go back to 2006! And most were NOT featured ... ENJOY!~

Now, you're probably wondering, where is Number 66? Where is the rest of this "100" post?

I've been working on this post for a week or so! I came back, added more to the list, went to save, and NOTHING! The page went blank, and I lost what I had just added. . .This happened not once, but TWICE.

I can only think the Internet Powers that Be are trying to tell me take my own advice... You see, No. 65 is about a program called Nvu - a html editor and creator. The perfect tool for writing and SAVING your blog, then uploading to Active Rain.

Something I have not done with this post...

So lesson learned...I will call it a day with No. 65 on No. 100.

Nvu here I come for post 101

Carole - I haven't been on AR the last few days - I've missed you and the others! I know I missed great information and like you, will have to try and catch up. Thanks for giving of your knowledge so freely!

Debbie - Congratulations on hitting 100... posts that is. :) When I first started I didn't think I would have enough to say to get anywhere close to 100... turns out they can't shut me up. haha

Thanks for the inclusion on your list, btw. That's very sweet! I need to check out Nvu as well.... I really hate having posts go to nowhere land.

Debbie, congratulations on you 100th. How exciting. I can remember when I did number 100. Writing good posts takes time. Keep on blogging.

Congratulations to you ! That is a ton of work.

Thank you for the mentions! This is a wonderful list!
