365 days plus one

365 days plus one
was the moment that changed the way I would look at social media on line and joined an amazing active community with bloggers from all over the United States and Canada. This all happened because I took the excellent advice of my Continuing Education instructor, Technologist Guru, Amy Chorew at a class in Boxborough, Ma, on January 15, 2009.

What happened once I returned to my office was the following:

01/17/2009	155	Added short description content to profile.
01/17/2009	100	Added primary phone number to profile.
01/17/2009	200	Uploaded an image to your profile.
01/17/2009	100	Activated your real estate profile.
01/17/2009	50	Viewed a real estate profile scoring summary.

Lisa Udy Realtor Utah Real Estate Specialist (Logan Utah Real Estate The Platinum Real Estate Group)

Now I was like a sponge wanting to meet more people, read more blogs and comment on their blogs, subscribe to the AR members whose blogs I really enjoyed and wanted more more more

I had become addicted to a new wave of technology that I really so loved. For me the time for blogging would be in the late evening and wee early mornings when the room was quiet and peaceful and no distractions and I was too over-whelmed to sleep. I had professionals to learn from, questions to ask, groups to join and pictures to take of my cities and towns, I felt like a news reporter seeking what my AR friend would want from Rhode Island. I was not the statistical inclined blogger. If a member wanted info I would personally email them the data, I wanted to be the Real Estate Professional expert with a caring heart and would allow my feelings and emotions to show.
I opened up my artistic and photographic passions to my new friends, my love of pets, especially by adopted and rescued, Buddy.
