Hello, this is my first post.  Today a group of us are meeting in Dyersburg are meeting to learn more about blogging and active rain. I came back to finish this post as I did not get two hundred points like I wanted.

For all of you new like me, you have to have at least fifty words to get the two hundred points. Also, in case you didn't know, your comments have to also be more than two or three words to get the points for that. You get twenty five points for each comment(if long enough) and a maximum of 200 points per day for comments you have made on other people's posts.

Tammy, Welcome to Active Rain. The point system will actually help you on your road to good blogging. It will make you use the Active Rain search feature for ideas on blogging, including uploading photos, how to make your blog "look" good, titles, commenting, what groups to choose when posting a blog, etc. Everything is here, you just need to search for it. Happy hunting.

Tammy:  I think the comments have to be at least 10 words to get the points.  Karen's comment above is completely true and you will find so many great people along the way who will leave an imprint on your business and yes, your heart too in some cases.  Happy blogging.  Hope to see more blogs from you in the near future.

Hi Tammy,

Welcome to AR. Glad to see you are figuring the point thing out. While points are not the most important thing here, they will get you more visibility and the search for more points will become somewhat of an addication... ;-)

Tammy, thanks for the tips.  I have never heard of local groups that get together to work on their blogging.  Have fun with that.

I forgot to mention - you can always leave more than 10 comments and it's a good idea just to be safe as you never know when a post might get deleted, and along with it the comments.  Just a helpful tip in case you didn't know.  : )    Happy blogging!
