What I Learned This Week in ActiveRain. February 5-February 11, 2012

I learn something new every day at ActiveRain and last week I wrote a post that put my money where my mouth is. Every day I found 1 post (and often there were many more) that taught me something.

It may have been about something techie... about blogging and SEO.... anything having to do with Staging or Real Estate... about the world or even about the Blogger.

So here are the posts for the week of February 5th that gave me that
“Ah Ha.. didn’t know that” moment.



Laura GianottaFebruary 5- Laura Giancotta - If you thought choosing your paint color was hard with everyone wanting to “Go Green” how do you know what all of the Green labels mean. Laura outlines 5 Green designations for paint.




Jennifer ChiongbianFebruary 6- Jennifer Chiongbian- I keep telling myself to add a video to my website and blog and Jennifer talks about adding a video testimonial as well. But more there’s a link in her post to the Toilet Paper Entrepreneur that gives you 85 Tips for Branding Your Business! Great list!



Chris LewisFebruary 7-Chris Lewis -Chris wrote about Google and information that while we may have known it or thought it was confirmed via a secret Google document which gives guidelines for assessing SERP. One interesting point made was that duplicate content if well presented and informative it should be ranked according to its usefulness to its users.

Tammy EminethFebruary 8- Tammy Emineth-I know Bob Stewart wrote about re-introducing some of our former posts and Tammy adds another dimension by reminding us that Google likes fresh content. She always has a great way of explaining things so if you’re not sure how or why you should be re-introducing some of your former posts be sure to read this.


Fred GriffenFebruary 9-Fred Griffen- I learned in Fred’s post that you can get in serious trouble for throwing a frisbee in California. And, I also saw a cute marketing piece based on this from Fred, who is in Florida, to bring people to Florida.



Marte Cliff

February 10 -Marte Cliff- we’ve all been encouraged to place our testimonials and references on our websites or blogs. And with the increasing call for videos, some are using video testimonials. Marte suggests another way to use the compliments we receive. It’s so easy I wonder why I didn’t think of it.


Dorie DillardFebruary 11-Dorie Dillard-well if you haven’t made your dinner reservations, ordered your roses and purchased your Godiva and some bling then better hop to it. Dorie gave us a post on Valentine facts that I never knew. Read it and share it with your Valentine to impress them!



Thank you for letting me do what I love to do each day... learn something new!

Almost Speechless Sunday- Horse Majesty

Nestor & Katerina Gasset  Realtors® Wellington Florida Homes For Sale: Real Estate Agent in Wellington, FL

majestic beauty horse

Rich color of burnt henna

sparkle as rays of sunshine

rest upon his mane

springing forth majestic beauty

gently nudging his way

together with the rein

he knows where he is going

he leads with step ahead

he dances with the wind

and lightly touches heaven

Grand Prix Farms and Grand Prix Village - Wellington Equestrian Living

Grand Prix of Wellington – One of the Best Places for Equestrians to Settle

Grand Prix of Wellington may actually refer to either of two equestrian neighborhoods in this corner of Florida. When you start roaming the beautiful streets of Wellington Florida, you may eventually notice that road signs are pointing to two directions when it comes to Grand Prix Farms. If, however, you are looking for a neighborhood that can offer a private, quiet, and luxurious lifestyle for you and your loved ones to enjoy then you have come to the right place to finally settle down.

The first of these two neighborhoods, Grand Prix Village, is just a stone’s throw away from Pierson Road. Grand Prix Village is every horseman’s – or horsewoman’s – dream come true because its wonderful range of amenities include features that are specifically designed to provide greater ease and comfort for those who count horseback riding as their ultimate pleasure.


The Grand Prix Village is hacking distance from the Winter Equestrian Festival’s show grounds. When the Winter Equestrian Festival begins, equestrians from all over the country – and the world even – come to Wellington in order to compete for dressage as well as hunter or jumper events.

Last but certainly not the least, professional players from all around visit one of Florida’s most beautiful areas in order to have themselves crowned as victors in polo championships - a game which most people today consider fit only for royalty and those belonging to the crème de la crème of society.


The facilities of Grand Prix Village, as mentioned earlier on, include those designed to provide comfort even for your stallions, mares, and ponies. The community currently has two well-equipped barns to provide shelter for your ride. These barns offer a total of 8 tack rooms, 64 stalls, 4 expansive paddocks, and 2 manure bins. There are also four sand rings as well as ample parking space available for homeowners who prefer the luxury of driving to the barn when checking on their horses.

If you are interested in viewing the other Grand Prix neighborhood, which is simply called the Grand Prix Farms then you should just search for Lake Worth Road and continue until you reach Via Christina, which is where this gated community is located. It also happens to be right next door to Equestrian Club, another expansive and lovely gated community in the area.


Ultimately, Grand Prix of Wellington – whichever village you do end up choosing – is the kind of place that a person will never regret living in.

We understand and know equestrian needs and we know the equestrian inventory here in Wellington Florida and Loxahatchee Florida. Now is a great time to buy your Wellington horse farm.
