points: 300,000 Points and 43 referrals later.....IT'S ALL GOOD! - 09/10/09 01:40 AM
OK....I'm there....FINALLY THE MONKEY IS OFF MY BACK.  I'm real.  I really am a part of Active Rain. 
I guess that I've always had my eyes set on the 300,000 point number ever since joining Active Rain two and 1/2 years ago.  My story is simple.  I'm a net neophyte who was dragged into Active Rain kicking and screaming.  I was told that this was the wave of the future.  I was told that it was a great way to get your name out on the net.  I relented and moved forward in stupidity and angst as I struggled to learn … (91 comments)

points: 100,000 Points in under a year! 3rd in Illinois to Achieve this - 04/03/08 10:10 AM
Well, I finally hit it. 
I was going to make this a spectacular post and reminisce about how great it is to hit 100,000 points in just under 9 months. 
I was going to talk about all of the great friendships as well as some young and growing relations that I've made on AR, Ginger's Marin County Real Estate Blog , Abe Loper, Tom 's Blog, (Tom Ninness), Rich Sweum's Blog, Ryan Martin's Real Estate Blog, Mortgage Knowledge at its BEST!!!! (Jeff Belonger).
I was going to talk about all that I've learned or how great I am, how modest I am and … (18 comments)

points: Want to Score Points on Active Rain - - - Follow the Rules - 03/20/08 03:35 PM
I love writing.  I recieved a degree in English and Literature and Communications when I was in College.  This translates to great things in AR as well.  I get to serve my writing fetish by trying to post something of value.  Whether it valuable to me or others is for the reader to decide.  There are a lot of reasons why people blog on AR. 
1)  Competition
     2)  Fun - feeding the soul
          3)  Get to meet a lot of great people
                4)  Get lots of great exposure
                     5)  Develop new business
Of course I do this for all of the reasons, … (31 comments)

points: Half way to 100000- - - - 49,999 points....A personal milestone - 10/06/07 02:46 PM
I think that it's only fitting that I write a nice long post about how I got here and what this all means to me.  I'm not going to because of 2 reasons:
1)  I'm on vacation....need I say anything more?
2)  I'm only 1/2 of the way to 100,000
I've had a lot of fun, but today I'll take a rest......I've been going strong.  But I have familyI'm on vacation and I need to get back to my R & R until I start my aquest for the next 50....YAHOO!!!!

points: 100th POST....Different than 40,000 Points - 09/17/07 04:34 PM
Just last week I wrote 40,000 Points - - Where's my medal?.  I was sooooooo pleased.  Actually it's been a lot of fun and a lot of hard work, but there were and are a million benefits.  Just tdoay when I was writing....I realized that this is my 100th post.  Yeah....gross, where has the time gone?
It's been a lot of fun, but a ton of hard work.  I wonder who had written the most "real" posts out there.  I don't mean posts for points so to speak, but posts to write....  I know that points come with the territory and I … (13 comments)

points: Largest One Day AR Point Record!!!!! - 06/29/07 01:04 AM
Points, Points, Points.....When it comes to scoring of points I have a question....I had a banner day one day when I scored almost 2,000 points in one day.  I know that we're all in blogging just for the graciousness of who we are...and to inform each other....and to dialogue....but I, yes me....have a little competitiveness in me that also says that I like to score....Unfortunately, I can't score like my boy MJ.....but.....
 
I was wondering ..... what is the biggest one point day that anyone has done on AR.  I've done just under 2000.  Also, I was wondering what were the determining factors that made … (6 comments)

I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
