I finally did it! I've been meaning to put this together for the new members for a long time. Our extraordinary Optimists have posted so many wonderful tips on our board. Thank you so much!

Hi Mirela,

Congratulations on accomplishing this huge task. I am sure new members as well as established members will find it very beneficial.

Hal: Good point! Thank you!

Mirela, terrific links for Active Rain newbies and some gems in here for us old salts as well. Thanks for your compilation.

Gary, thank you very much! You are one of the top bloggers on AR; if you think this is a good source of information, that's the equivalent of the "Good Housekeeping" seal of approval.

Thank you!

Mirela -- When does the "week" start for AR -- I read in one of your last post -- you can have 10 Blog Post in any one week -- Do you know when the week starts and finishes etc... Thanks -- I enjoy your posts -- JE

Mirela, You are always have very good tips and link of what is going on here on AR, BTW did you have an extra long weekend, it takes a lot of time to find all of this... thanks again.

Jason: I do believe the AR week starts on Sunday at exactly 12:01am (right at midnight) central time, so 1am for us in Myrtle Beach. What to do if you have overblogged for the week and you have a major winner on your hands as post nr. 11? Go back and delete another blog you put up that week, preferably a dry one with no comments on it (hint: statistics). It takes several hours for it to show on your points' board, but don't worry, it will!

I want to congratulate you on the fine job you're doing with your blogs on Localism!

Mary: Not to worry: these were all at my fingertips. They are all posted on our Optimist board by our members. It took me less than 15 minutes to put together and I enjoyed every minute of it!

Mirela - Thanks for the info and the complement -- I knew you would know the answer ;) -- thanks again JE

You're welcome! Anytime!

Thanks for the great tips! My mother lives in Little River... I'll be sure to use you when she's ready to sell!

Colleen: Thank you very much! ...And being that you are a CRS (Congratulations!), I would refer my Jupiter, FL, clients to you! Please come and say hi when you visit next time!

Mirela, I think this is good for us folks that have been here for a while also.

Thanks

Great post and opportunity to learn from reading some of these new posts.

I've been here a while but having all this info in one place and bookmarked makes life so much easier. Thanks. I hope your're feeling better now, too.

Mirela,

Very interesting post. It does make you wander how people can write so many post and still sell real estate. I know how long it takes to do both, no matter how fast you can type.

Derenda: By reading the blogs on AR you simply learn to work SMARTER.

Working smarter leaves you with more money and more discretionary time and blogging is one way to give back what you get from this amazing network.

The funny thing is that the more you give back, the more it keeps on giving...

Don: Thank you so much! I hope you make the time to follow the links and read the blogs. They are very helpful indeed.

I am well, thank you! We've dealt with John's loss. On the lobster scare: I now know more about lobster than I probably should. I also understand the current shortage of gamma globulin and the reasons behind it. If I do come down with the disease in spite of all my efforts to stay healthy, it couldn't have happened at a better time: this season of the year is really the only time I could possibly be on bed rest...

The cup is half full...

Great post for us newbies! I still feel like an AR dummy!

Thank you for sharing these older blogs...they are not only good for newbies but as a reminder for those that have been around for awhile and need a jumpstart.

Linda: Don't worry about it; I do too. Just when I think I have all the answers, they change all the questions...

Sonja: Many times a jump start is all we need to propel forward. I'm glad to help!

DEC

Thanks for the great post. Its good to see AR is going more and more.

I just updated this with Gary Woltal's post: "My Blogging Success Secrets".

Now I know that you have all the tools at your disposal to become a successful blogger on AR.

Have fun! Please post your uplifting and educational blogs on our Optimist Board!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! We need all the help we can get and this is full of great info!

I've bookmarked this one for now. I think some of these posts will be invaluable to me as I start working on my AR account. Thanks.

DEC

Thank you so much for putting such a wealth of information in one place. I'm fairly new to AR and am in awe of how generous people are with their hints and tips.

Kathy, I know! That's exactly how I felt over a year ago when I joined.

The generosity here is amazing and if you just read the blogs and follow even 10% of the advice you can't help but stay at the top of your market. The information here is amazing!

Welcome to AR! Just read and blog; the rest will take care of itself...
