We're Celebrating An Anniversary
On February 19, 2008 I signed up as a member of ActiveRain. I did so at the requested invitation of a loan officer I knew who has since left the business. His expertise, however, was in getting his company's mortgage business Internet exposure and he found that this site gave almost instantaneous response, at the time with the search engines.
At the time, I knew little about blogging and just read blogs and tried to find my way to post. With time, the writing started as well as signing up for all the instructional opportunities and challenges that Bob Stewart provided to those of us that were babes to blogging.
It has been a most interesting ride, as not only did I get more comfortable in my blogging abilities, while still being awed by the expertise of some of the more established members, but the friendships developed along the way have given me warm feelings for the platform.
For those that have been here a while, we knew the platform at its infancy, and have seen strange developments along the way and for the present see a hope of return to prominence as we once knew.
For those new to blogging, it is not a silver bullet that will offer instant rewards. The proof is in the online persona that you offer and the consistency that will get you a following and the cherished business.
I appreciate all the generous members that have tolerated my posts and even found the time to comment. Without the platform, I would never have met so many great people and even formed friendships closer to home that I owe to ActiveRain.
