We like challenges--otherwise, why in the world would we be in our industry in these challenging times?

So read on...

Craig comes up with the most interesting, educational and challenging posts. He is a wealth of knowledge. He's interesting. He's behind the Pick Three Gold Star Challenge CHALLENGE.

You win the Pick Three Gold Star Challenge, you've won Craig's undivided attention for a hour. He'll help you review your tools and give you more tools.

Steve sells gorgeous homes in New Hampshire. Some days, he's just totally off the wall. Where-in-the-world-did-you-think-of-that kind of stuff. His blog encourages me to remember it's not just about the nuts and bolts, it's about the journey.

Melissa,

Thank you. I'm enjoying this! When I read Craig's challenge, I was pretty much baffled on how to do all of that.

And wouldn't you know it: I was almost done with it the first time around, and 'poof', I lost the entire post. And it was really time consuming, because I'm not experienced yet. But I'll say this: the fact that I had to re-do it was actually a blessing, because that really engrained the steps in my head.

I've been on the computer so much lately, my husband starting referring to it as acid rain, and occasionally now he calls it acid drain. But he's kidding. :-)

Pat,

There is not enough time! I'm glad I started with ActiveRain this time of the year, which is my 'slow season'. By summer, I hope to become even more comfortable with things.

I'm really not sure if the way I did the post is exactly what Craig had in mind. But he said I can always email him with questions, so maybe I'll do that!
