ActiveRain ActiveBlogs

Will they compete?  Will they compare?  What is the difference between a WordPress Blog by Yahoo, a Blogspot or Blogger Blog by Google, and an ActiveRain Outside Blog?  Is there an advantage to either one? Which is the best for me?  Why would I even care?  A Blog is a Blog is a Blog... right?  Here's one way to find out.

Come join the ActiveRain Staff tomorrow to find out more about the hottest topic spreading around the web right now.  Jon, Bob, Rich and myself are hosting the RAIN Radio show (back from it's dormant state of hibernation) and will be unleashing the fury, tips, secrets, and vision of the NEW ActiveBlogs offered by our very own ActiveRain.

Watch out WordPress, step aside Blogger, new kids are in town.

(WordPress and Blogger have refused to comment...)

Call in to the show, join our chat session live with Elizabeth Nieves, follow along live from your computer, or just miss the show and go on having questions and confusion about Individual and Group Blogs. (just kidding) We'll also record the program and place it in this post later for those who can't make it.

Do us a favor and yourself one too, come find out what it's really all about and ask your questions, share your thoughts, vent your concerns, get answers from those who have them.  You can also leave any comments here that you'd like us to address.  This will be very educational and informative, I sincerely hope you can join us.

This Friday, Jan. 30 - 11:00am PST - 2:00pm EST.

Awwwww, I missed the radio show.  I had promised the kids to take them to Chuck E Cheese and so I got to play games and eat pizza all day today.  It was a blast, but I feel like I missed work.

Carol Fox - the domain name you're using for your Point2 blog - CarolinasRealEstateTalk.com - is redirected (and masked) to the domain that blog is actually on (http://www.carolinasmalltownliving.com). Because of that redirect, CarolinasRealEstateTalk.com will never show up in the search engines as Google doesn't index redirected / masked domain names. That CRET.info shows up in searches and not CRET.com has nothing to do with "the Power of AR", it has to do with how your domain names are set up.

Also, because one is .com and one is .info, they are different domain names.... but since one is masked (the .com) it will nver show up.

If anyone is near Redwood City tonight, stop by and say Hi to us.  Debra (my wife) and I will be there as she is perfoming with Skynnyn Lynyrd, a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute Band.  It's a really BIG show and her first with them.  Gotta run now and catch the tour bus, here's some info if you can make it....

Live at the FOX Theatre

Meet The Band

Brad - I checked out the band website - very cool - I suppose Mesquite is too small of a venue for them to ever come here - congrats to Debra and her beautiful voice.

Virginia - we're gettin on the tour bus in an hour, I'll ask them if we can stop by and do a show there for ya while we're out.  :-)))  You know, if you leave now, you could still make it to San Francisco in time.  :-O

I am going to Walmart, if the produce is not good today, I will just keep on going and see you tonite.  :)

BTW - back to business:

Remember that when you helped me upgrade my outside blog - we discovered that I had accidently created several outside blogs?  You and Bob got rid of them.

Well!  I noticed yesterday that several of my AR posts didn't go to the upgraded outside blog.  I went in and edited, the individual blog was checked, but they weren't there.  I must have previously checked the box for the outside blogs that we deleted.

So I unchecked the Individual Blog box, re checked it and then they went to the outside blog.  Some of these contain my special keywords.  That would explain why I am not getting the juice to my Outside Blog for those keywords.

I am going to manually check each post that I want on the outside blog, check and uncheck the box.

So you might want to let Bob know, in case others messed up as bad as I did and had multiple outside blogs set up with no active url as I did.

He may not know that you have to fix each post manually to correct this specific error to get posts to the outside blog.

Virginia - we are hoping to add an element whereas you could go in and select multiple or all posts you want to show on your outside Blog.  When you create a new Blog regardless if you delete the others, you still have to add the posts individually.  We are trying to correct that in the near future.  Call me if you need any further assistance with this of if I'm not making sense here.  :-))

Hi Brad,

Thanks for the great information.  I haven't been doing this very long and stll trying to get my head around all of the details.  You mentioned in the broadcast that if we're posting the same blog article in multiple places, we should indicate the original post in a link at the bottom of the page.  What exactly are we suppose to put in this link?  Can you provide an example from someone's blog?  Thanks.

Tonda and Steve - this Blog is an example.  The links at the bottom go to where the original post was hosted for this Radio Show.  The difference would only be that it goes to the Radio show and not to a duplicate or original post.  It's just a hyperlink on your post and would look just like the hyper-links in this post.

Thanks for the explanation.  It's just a link back to the original post and nothing more.  I was trying to make it more complicated.
