Do you "SUGGEST" posts? I suggest you do. Become a called shot master.
Active Rain is a community that supports itself through community involvement. We all write blogs to get noticed. We can post a blog in up to five groups for more exposure. We write about a lot of topics including market reports, property listings, neighborhood events, personal stories and helpful tips. We hope that people actually read what we write. When we read something that we find interesting, helpful or that we can relate to, we are compelled to leave a comment. But what if you felt the blog deserves more than just a comment?
Have you ever read a post that you thought should get more attention?
A post that was worthy of the coveted FEATURE STAR? 
Well, you can do something about it.
There is a SUGGEST button at the top right hand corner of the blog that you are reading. You have the option of clicking on the button if you feel that the blog is of importance and should be recognized for its quality content.
By clicking on the suggest button, you are letting the Active Rain staff know that someone has written a blog of value and that it should be shared community wide and not just in the five group limit. After all, with over 207,000 members, the staff can't possibly be reading every blog on here. They need our assistance.
This button was first introduced in June of 2010 by Brad Andersohn. It replaced the old icon at the bottom of the blog that allowed for similar actions. The suggest button at the top of the page is more prominent and we all hope that you don't hesitate to use it.
You may also notice on your home page, under your profile picture, an item -- CALLED SHOTS.
This indicates the number of times that you have suggested a blog that went on to be featured. Not every suggestion will get featured. I believe that a blog has to be suggested by more than one person to get featured. But you can still let your opinion be heard.
So, the next time you read a blog and you feel that the content is valuable and you want it to be shared community wide, consider clicking on the SUGGEST button and become a called shot master.
after calling a few.
