Craig's Classroom Catalog

Reblogger

Real Estate Agent with Jameson Sotheby's International Realty

For those of my readers who haven't discovered Craig Daniels, yet, I'm reblogging his recent post, where he highlights all of his helpful posts. (and if you haven't read Craig, yet... where the heck have you been?)

And before you presume that Craig has been here in the Rain for years and year, and that's how he knows so much about Active Rain and technology, think again.  Craig has been here less time that I have, and possibly less time than you have.  It's just that he's that good with technology, and he has something to offer all of us.

His style is fun, and educational and easy for those of us technologically challenged (read: Alan) to follow.  Really, even I can follow his directions.  Pick a few and read them, I think you'll be happy you did.

Congrats Craig!  Nice portfolio of work, you have much to be proud of.

I have just passed my first 100 posts on AR and very appreciative of all who have subscribed! I thought I should put together a post that catalogs my articles by category so that it would be easier to you to go back and look up something again. Also, if you recently subscribed, you may have missed some of the earlier posts. Glad to have you in my classroom! enjoy! ( indicates my featured posts)
(PS - I will be keeping this post up to date including any new posts added)

Craig is one of the most fantastic writers on the Rain that I have found so far.  And, he makes all the tech stuff so understandable.

Haven't had my moring tea yet... (it's only 8:17 am here in SF) and I just read Craig's post where I commented as well.  I see that Craig was the one who organized all those links, BUT, you are a gem for reblogging!

Alan:  Even though I had caught Craig's own post regarding this blog, I salute you on re-blogging it.  You chose wisely.  And as pointed out above, Craig is an amazing writer and has something to offer of real value to all of us.  If you're looking to learn, Craig's your man ...

Nice portfolio, indeed.  I recognize the name but haven't read much of Craig.  Looks like I'm missing a VERY impressive contributor.

Craig rocks!  (Well so do you, ALAN!)

I subscribed to him right after I read his first post which was full of useful information.

We certainly live in a time of sharing and he is the master of it...to our great advantage.
