2am and You Need Reading Material? Try a few of these ideas...

I had a very interesting question recently here by a member.  So I thought this might help those that don't necessarily think that the Featured Posts are moving fast enough for you....  You do know that there is reading material beyond the Dashboard right?

First you have the BLOG dashboard.  On the left hand side is where you will see the featured posts of the day.   

• By default the left hand side shows the featured posts in order of being featured on the day you are viewing. 
• You have the option to change it just view Professional, Consumer, all or just subscribed.  But remember that your subscriptions are on the right side of the screen. 
• You can even change the order from Most Recent, Top Rated, Most Active or the last post to be commented on. 
• Lastly you can look at the time as of today, this week, this month or all time.

On the right side of the BLOG dashboard is your BLOG Subscriptions

• By default this is organized by your subscriptions.
• You can change to the BLOGS that are most subscribed or to the list of BLOGS that have been most subscribed to this week.
• These are organized so that those that have had updated their BLOG most recently on top.

So you already knew that, you are wanting some different reading material, well at the top of the blog dashboard is the search function.  Try searching one of of these topics:

• Mortgage
• Fun
• SEO
• Your Name (maybe someone wrote about you and you didn't even know it)

  

Not cutting it?  Desperate you may want to search from your My Home page Associates:

• If you organize your associates, you can create some interesting combinations of reading material
• Just click on (Posts) next to the associates grouping in your My Associates
• Don't know how to organize your associates like I did?  Check out my Managing Associates post.

Still want a different way to look at the posts that are here at Active Rain?

• Go to Groups where you can look at your personal groups or look at the Groups in a variety of ways.
• Sort by Most Active, Name, Date Created, # of posts, # of subscribers or the Most Active Group.
• Remember sometimes things are just submitted to the specific groups so you might find some hidden gems in the groups!   

Lastly, go to the Main page and you could always go check out:

• New Members -- hey encourage a few new members with their first posts.  You have an opportunity to see the first BLOG of the next great voice here at Active Rain.  Become a cheerleader!
• Check out the top members of the 50 States and Canada
• Read the top Realtors, Brokers, Stagers -- you get the idea!
