THIS IS A FASCINATING JOURNEY...HERE ON ACTIVERAIN

VESPA!!! LAUREN'S WHEELS

When you stop to think about it....just what did one do with one's free time before ActiveRain?

I can't even remember--All I know is that now, when I come home from the office, I sit down and read, read, read posts....they are a fountain of information.

NOW, I LOOK BACK:

I have participated in a contest or two

I have written more than I ever thought I could

I have made my own advertising videos (Thanks to Jeff Turner)

I have learned more about technology than I ever wanted to before

I have people from all over the country communicate with me, and I with them

I have forged deep friendships

I think I may have even created an adversary or two

I have participated in one heck of a LONG blog party

I have had memorable discourse with other bloggers

I have had disagreements, maybe even an argument or two

I have seen a huge number of people come into the fold as someone lost a loved one

I even took a sabatical from ActiveRain as I "re-tooled" my blog material....and my "self"

....and all this has happened since November of last year--just 6 months of playing in this unique sandbox.....JUST 6 MONTHS!!! What in the heck will the next 6 months be?

A Very Big thank You to everybody here on AR--What would my life be without you??

You know I don't think I realized the importance of blogging until I saw how the guys that rank well on AR also dominate the search engines..  I think we were all wandering around in circles before AR helped us learn about SEO and all of the technologies available to us realtors..

CHRISTOPHER You are so right--nor did I. Now, I can't see myself NOT blogging.....if, God forbid, something bad were to happen and I was not on AR anymore, where would I go to do this???? :)

(is this an addiction or something??)

Hi Paula. I joined in November 07 as well and never realized the value of blogging before that. I have learned a lot of intersting tidbits from realtors, stagers and my fellow inspectors as well. Have a great spring! - Ray

RAY--thanks for the response; I think it is the most important thing to be doing right now. How else would we see that things are "picking up" again in real estate in pockets around the country---we don't get that news on the TV do we?

Paula,

Deep friendships I can understand, but an adversary or two?  Idiots.  Just plain idiots.  LOL
