You may have noticed that ActiveRain made some major site changed this month. There are some that take a little getting used to or a little exploring to find their new spots.

One thing I have noticed daily is that when I click on BLOGS from the drop down menu, it defaults to all blogs. If I only want to see posts from members that I am following, I must drop down and select that criteria from the Type field.

Lately, I have been living on the wild side and simply scrolling through all blog types. It has turned out to be fun and interesting.

I have stumbled on to other bloggers who I never noticed before.

It is fun to read about events and markets in other parts of the country.

So before you quickly change the blog type to Following - Explore a little and see what the other side of the galaxy has to share.

A very positive outlook Belinda. I will say this, the people who are loyal to me and end up commenting on my blogs like you do will always get the same in return.

I get out and check out the blog roll from time to time to see what folks I may not have ever read are up to. It is fun.

Hi Belinda -- while time is limited and I try to reciprocate comments, it is nice to "get out and discover" some "new to me" members. It's a big world out there.

Hi Belinda... I noticed this, as well, and have also spent a few minutes each day "exploring" new "faces" as you put it.

Belinda - you make a good point. We can get into the rut of just reading followed. I always find interesting blogs when I explore.
