We have some amazingly gifted writer's here on AR and we also get to benefit from those who know about html, the placement of pictures, how to make videos, how to change the color or font on our blogs. The activerain community is filled with people who share information and help one another on a consistent basis and for that I am so grateful. It seems that whenever I have an issue 95% of the time the answer is somewhere on this website.

Here's a list of some wonderful blogs that have helped and continue to help me.

* These are blogs I wish I had seen BEFORE I signed up, but have certainly helped me along the way.

Thanks for your comments everyone! I absolutely made this list for the AR community. I wanted to add more, but I knew it was already a very long post. This makes me think doing another one for everyone is a good idea. I am glad that this helps people as much as it helped me. I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year!

Hi Pamela.

You must have been keeping a log all year long of the most fantastic posts!  I've already read many of these here, because you listed them, and I will keep coming back.  Thank you for your generosity and may 2009 be your best year ever in real estate!
