I have no doubt the average 3000 bloggers that are ONLINE right now will agree with me that Active rain is now a borderline addiction!

The Summer of 2008 has sure had the share of rest and relaxation it deserves! Yet, R & R has an entire new meaning to me now! It is READING ON THE RAIN!

One of the most exciting parts of this summer been finding all of you here in the ACTIVE RAIN and reading as much as I can to learn about a world of other people that relate to the life we all live:

CLIENTS, CLOSINGS and CRAZINESS!

                                               (I teach the 3 B's as a cure of the 3 C's)

This quick blog was written just for you! I want to say Thank You to all of you that have made me feel so welcome and a Huge thanks to three people:

YVETTE: My 1st friend and she shared some great rules:

Charles McDonald:My vote for the best site I have seen for Localism and his actions have helped me share the power of AR with the public!

Active Brad:WOW - This guy is AR in my book and I could never thank him enough for really showing me the ropes and rules before I was booted out of blogs for breaking all of the rules. Here are the 3 top things I learned from Brad and you can learn these as well:

HIJACKING:When you post something above to move people away from a blog - it is only OK if it is YOUR BLOG directing people - NEVER BLOG on someone else's blog and send them somewhere else!

WALL OF WORDS: Too many words, not enough pictures! Sometimes these are a waste of time to read and then others are just long winded -

Blogging:Wow - I can sell real estate - you can sell real estate but blogging is about giving and and sharing and is about a community of people that are really here to help one another and have a VOICE!
