Or not!
I think this is the longest I have gone without a post since I began blogging on Activerain in Dec 2006.
Second time Second Beer. I foolishly while in draft mode went to copy my tags and lost my post. Oh well guess we all do that once.
Yes, It's True. ActiveBrad is Hosting a "Talk Show" on BlogTalkRadio. Get Read, Get Seen, Be Heard! Great content gets read, Viral Video gets seen, and Quality Radio gets heard. The media has done it this way for years. Well, we're finally there!
I have been a member of ActiveRain for not quit a year yet. Never did I realize how much and how addicted I would become to this site. 
If you are in the ActiveRain Community, obviously you know the importance of networking and personal promotion. In the era of identity theft, you also know the importance of protecting your name and reputation.
See this pretty lady? Her name is Sondra Meyer and she is out of College Station, Texas.
Last year was a tough one and I was not looking forward to it, I turned 50! Now tomorrow the 30th is my birthday again and I'm just going to have to start substracting! My birthday generally falls around Labor Day weekend and it seems that there are always a lot of other … (11 comments)

The Internet has forever changed the way Real Estate works and primarily it has been for the better. However, there is a lot of dangerous misinformation floating out there in Cyberspace. I'm talking about online home value estimators. I'm not going to name any names but you know the ones that … (6 comments)
Good Morning, Y'All,

I should have seen it coming. I just didn't think I'd get slammed so soon with the latest version of the MeMe. Thanks to our lovely Crossville TN Real Estate, Melissa Grant Cumberland County TN Homes For Sale : Crossville TN Real Estate I have been MeMe'd. And from what I … (28 comments)
Start your Labor Day weekend off early today and check out The Best in the West Rib Cook-Off on Victorian Square in Sparks, Nevada.
Didn't you join Activerain for business reasons? Wasn't your initial endeavor aimed at getting a few referrals and building a relationship or two? I know it was mine. Somewhere along the way we've all become obsessed with points, which come from comments! I know it's been a focus of mine MAINLY … (3 comments)
Dear Al, Douglas, Jason etc. 
Many of you may be aware that the new Localism and ActiveRain outside blogs have a fixed width and will cut off images, html, flyers, etc. that are wider then the fixed width. Our members whose flyers were being cut off due to the fixed width limitations quickly made us aware of … (8 comments)
This post was stirred out of the overwhelming number of questions I get about how to optimize an ActiveRain blog and profile for the search engines. I realize that many of you have outside blogs, and only use ActiveRain as a supplemental blog, but that is ok! Your AR blog is … (137 comments)
One of the first things we're taught in real estate is to market to our sphere of influence. Our friends, family, acquaintances form the backbone of our business when we first get started.
Recently I launched my outside blog on Blogger, which may be more familiar to some as having a .blogspot.com extension. What does everyone think of having an outside Blog as well as the ActiveRain as well? Please, please, please be kind!
ActiveRain is a networking site where members of the Real Estate community -Realtors, Loan Officers, Home Stagers, Notaries etc. - can network with their peers and discuss industry related topics. Most of the content (except posts designated Members Only) is also open to the public offering consumers an unique perspective on … (89 comments)
I am not sure I will ever write another blog post here again. With several blogs and a new business, I may be short on time to write another post on Active Rain.
What happened to Owensboro, Kentucky's Vickie McCartney Real Estate Specialist?
Two weeks ago as I was contacting a few clients one after the others I hit a wall. It didn't matter how positive the conversation was on the phone.I missed something. These are potential buyers who took the time to fill up their contact information either through AR or my personal web site. … (12 comments)
Today one of my comments on another AR's blog entry had a response and the following footnote, with bold letters as follows:
Ok I didn't think I could do it.....but I did! I did what I thought no Home Stager could do! I stayed away from SIF for 1 week! Whew! I have to admit it was tough. 
We have a number of new features on the way at RealSeekr, so to whet your appetites, here's one of them that we've been really looking forward to: Video Profiles - a great way to engage, interact and demonstrate personality and experience.
I have been playing here in the Rain for just over a year now, and I have been fortunate enough to have received a good number of referrals from my friends here. For the past 12 years or so, I have been selling homes here in Austin, Texas. Since our primary … (85 comments)
I have been considering purchasing a new camera for some time--particularly one with a wide angle lense. I read Jeff Turner's recommendation for a Panasonic Lumix FX35 and was considering that one. Then I attended a Realtor.com technology seminar the other day. While there were definitely looking to sign realtors up for one … (24 comments)
Super Country Suburb!
Please take a moment to watch this mini-slideshow.
The day started great ... a nice drive from Tucson to Phoenix to present an e-PRO workshop at the Phoenix Assn. of REALTORS office ... I had lots of tech ... my tablet computer, a laptop for backup, my digital camera, a backup projector in case the association's projector did not … (1 comments)
I just read an article in one of my trade journals on blogging. It got me thinking about some of the unbelievably great posts I have read here on ActiveRain. Blogging is/has become much more than just a way to increase your SEO, it has become a legitimate tool for writers … (8 comments)
You see, I am married to an animal lover, who always wanted to be a veterinarian, is called the "snake whisperer" by our neighbors, and who saw a story in the local paper this morning about seven horses that were "rescued" but now may be euthanized after September 1st of this … (9 comments)

I just was looking around ActiveRain this morning to catch up on some blog reading and low and behold... I cracked the top 100 in Arizona!
This should be fun and informative.
I would love to know which sites you are on, which ones you like the most and why.
I spend most of my "web time" on active rain and or localism. I have signed on for myspace and twitter, but haven't done much with them … (29 comments)
Why am I still seeing Real Estate Professionals blogging about poor sales numbers in their areas? As a member of Active Rain I expect us all to see the importance of staying away from the negative and focusing on how to be more productive. AR has been such a breath of … (5 comments)
As a new ActiveRain member, I have yet to completely explore all of the site's features. Not by a long shot. I have, however, become fairly acquainted with the points sustem that seems to somehow spur me on in a rather unexpected manner. I feel a bit like a child at Chuck E. … (14 comments)
Ok, so I'm not a complainer... but I'm just wondering if anyone else is having a similar problem.
Recently I have decided to reduce the amount of time I spend on the rain. Its not easy especially for someone so addicted. 
ActiveRain is so much more than a Real Estate Network. So many people just look at it with blinders on and can not see the real worth to this network. I have to tell you that you need to remove the blinds and see what the real worth of this … (13 comments)
We all have opinions because we're all human and all have different thinking. That's why we're all unique. BUT (that dreaded 'but') sometimes we need to take a step back and be quiet for a moment and think before we pound the keyboard.
I have been a member of the community for appox 2 weeks now and I have found it to be very entertaining and informative. I have posted a couple of blogs and have commented on others. I hope the readers have gotten some useful information from my postings.
Since Barb Schwarz (Stagedhomes.com) introduced the concept of home staging, many have gotten on the staging training bandwagon, claiming to teach Realtors valuable staging techniques. Staging training has become quite a racket. And now, more than ever, Realtors must be careful not to fall prey to those who are out to … (0 comments)

When you are selling a home, it is important to do all that you can to help your property stand out among the competition. The adage that "you never get a second chance to make a first impression" most certainly applies to the Real Estate market.
(Is that how you spell swag?)
Activerain has given so many people the platform to expand business, network, find answers, seek support both professional and personal, vent our frustrations, and get to know others, and ourselves, a little bit better. The entire concept of Activerain with its tie-ins to Localism, and now our outside blogs, can only … (12 comments)
This two family built in the seventies really is close to all conveniences. Parking for six cars, each unit has basement, mechanicals are in great shape. Side by Side Investment. One unit is open so it can be shown easily. The rent for the other unit is $850 per month.
(This story was originally posted a while back, but does have significance at this moment.)
How great is your life? Do you ever wonder how you stack up to others in your level of happiness? Since people liked the grammar quiz yesterday, I found this quiz and thought it would be interesting to see how others score.
This started with a comment to a blog on agentgenius http://agentgenius.com/?p=2021#comment-15181
Blogging and Associating and Commenting, OH MY!
I was just reading Todd Clark's post Forced withdrawals from ActiveRain suck! - R.I.P. Henry (Members Only) and it reminded me of something that happened Sunday night that is fairly amusing in retrospect. I'm sure me real-time Twitter posts on it were fairly amusing especially since it was me typing into … (12 comments)
Now is the time to turn those prospects into buyers. As published on July 25 by the AP, mortgage rates are going up. It is a great time to be a buyer as NEW HOME SALES prices are low, BUILDER incentives are high and RATES are starting to climb.
