Top Neighbors: The magic behind the mirrors
You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.
OK I don't mean to be redundant here, but, I have tried repeatedly to add these photos to the original Sagiitta blog and Active Rain will not let me pull it up so rather than have everyone missout on seeing her playing in her first snow, I have dedicaated another entry to her with the snow pictures included. She seems to think that romping in it is great fun but this is more work for the mommy!!!
Bath day tomorrow!!!
Can you believe it? It is snowing in Collegedale, Ooltewah, East Brainerd, Apison and all around Hamilton County Tennessee! It has been several years since we got an accumulation and I frankly miss my snow in the winter time. I do not want snow every day from November on, but, a few well placed occurences would be great. It is not unusual to have snow in the Smokey Mountains or on the Cumberland Plateau, but, it is unusual to have it here in Hamilton County. I am thrilled. Here is one of my girls on patrol tonight in the snow. She looks like a polr bear.
