I've got a SUGGESTION!

I'VE GOT A SUGGESTION!

Let's find one person who's post you really, really, really like AND that person doesn't have any featured post and push the SUGGESTION button. Suggest button for Active Rain featured post

I see many post that need to feel wanted. They are so well written just waiting for the right person to read and say " Hey this deserves more attention....everyone needs to read this - so I think I will suggest".

Use this suggestion wisely...don't just push cause that particular person doesn't have a feature....push cause they have something important we all need to read.

And tell that person you suggested their post. Let them know who's reading and suggesting. Let them thank you...remember for every giver there must be a receiver.

Make someones day!!

Gwynn, I read another post about this, and try to find good posts to suggest as a part of my reading. Great idea to share.

That's a great idea, but let's not just suggest just because the person doesn't have anything, let's make sure it adds value to the site. We don't need bailouts for the suggestion button. :)

Gwynn - sorry I took so long, (I was up top sitting on your SUGGEST button) I love this idea and I hope more people will follow thru and start expanding their circle of reading. There are so many wonderful posts that just don't get the attention they deserve. Thanks for suggesting this.

Kristine: I'd bet we have members who read and never ever comment. If we can just give a gentle shove then maybe we'll get some new "blood" involved.

Jay: I thank you for the suggest....now I'm hoping you find someone else to push the suggest button on their great post!

Pam: If you never mention to a writer how will that person know who appreciates the type of post the writer has just written?? Open the door for more dialogue when you hit "suggest".

Gay: I've been thinking about this for a while and just decided it was time to say it! We all know the major players...but it takes a team of Realtors to keep improving our profession.

Lynn: the suggestion button is on the right side at the top of each blog....unless it's a re-blog and the suggest button has been disabled.

Jeanne: I'm glad to hear you look for good post daily to suggest.

Maggie: We all start out with good intentions and then life gets in the way until a reminder comes along to put us back on track. This was your reminder.

John: You are funny....bailout for the suggest button! The post must be OUTSTANDING-no matter the subject!

Tom: I'll have to check out your latest or even further back to see what post might receive a suggest from me...so thanks!

Susan: I love the phrase you used...expand their circle of reading. We have such awesome writers on this site but seems that the major players keep appearing and others wonder how they too can become part of the elite featured group. Expanding our reading will do it!

Peg: thanks for coming over from Susan's .... now go and find another post to push! I'm in a hurry to start reading for today.

Karin: yes, the more we pay attention to others that aren't yet in our subcription group, the sooner we will add more to our sphere of AR influence.

Frank and Karen: I bet you've written some terrific post that just got over looked and needed to have a push. I'll stop by and check yours out.

Gwynn, that's so thoughtful of you to come up with this post! I just "suggested" it and will be re-blogging it to help spread the word.

Thanks for the suggest and re-blog...now for a suggestion of my own - let others know who you are. I doubt your parents named you Roseville Rental Properties!!! I went to your profile and nothing - not a single clue as to your real name. Maybe next time you check back in on my blog I'll know who you really are.

Gwyn--Great post! I came here from Liz Wallace's re-blog. We are need a little reminder from time to time. Your comment back to Roseville Rental is so helpful. I hope they read it. I am going to suggest this post before I leave your site. Have a wonderful day!

Susan; Who would name their child Roseville Rental Properties? I've seen some strange names but this one would be at the top of my list.

Mary: Thanks for making the jump from Liz's site to mine. Thanks for the suggest. Who knew the last thing I did Friday night would stir up this kind of response....
