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.

Clothes dryers with venting problems are a leading cause of house fires
Manchester, NH--Clothes dryers are a wonderful invention, but they do require maintenance to assure safety in homes. The National Fire Prevention Administration reports over 15,000 fires annually, costing millions of dollars, many injuries and loss of lives. Webb Dickson, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard receives letters and emails from customers thanking him for taking the time to share tips on dryer fire prevention.
Webb Dickson advises all his customers that proper maintenance and installation of dryer vent systems is important. Webb explains, "dryer vents should be as short as possible and contain few bends and turns which can inhibit venting and cause lint to build up and clog the vent." Dryer Vent Wizard does not advise use of sheet metal screws when attaching multiple sections of vent pipe together. They use foil tape instead to eliminate protuberances that cause obstructions where lint can accumulate, eventually leading to a restriction which hampers dryer vent cleaning and allows lint to build up.
Webb also tells his customers that in addition to being a fire hazard, clogged dryer vents cost an additional $18 - $24 per month in energy usage. When drying time is longer than normal, this may be a sign that the lint screen or the exhaust duct is blocked.
Dryer Vent Wizard professionally inspects and cleans clothing dryers for homeowners and in commercially-owned buildings. Poorly maintained dryer vents are fire hazards and cause clothes dryers to cost substantially more to operate. Check http://www.nhdryervent.com for more information or to schedule service.
Manchester, New Hampshire is the largest city in the state and one of the fastest-growing cities in New England. The financial, cultural and political hub of New Hampshire, Manchester is located between Concord and Nashua.
Originally inhabited by the Penacook Indians, who called the area "Amoskeag" - meaning "good fish place" - Manchester was granted by Massachusetts Governor Benning Wentworth in 1751 as "Derryfield". In 1807, inventor Samuel Blodget opened a canal and lock system to allow passage around the Amoskeag Falls for shipping vessels. Blodget here envisioned a major industrial city to rival Manchester, England, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. At Blodget's suggestion, Derryfield was renamed Manchester in 1810, the same year that the new cotton spinning mill on the western bank of the Merrimack was incorporated as the Amoskeag Cotton & Woolen Manufacturing Company.
Incorporated as a city in 1846, Manchester soon became home to the largest cotton mill in the world -- Mill No. 11, spanning 900 feet (270 m) long by 103 feet (31 m) wide, and containing 4000 looms. Other products of Manchester's mills included shoes, cigars and paper. The Amoskeag foundry made rifles, sewing machines, textile machinery, fire engines, and locomotives in a division called the Amoskeag Locomotive Works (later, the Manchester Locomotive Works). The rapid growth of the mills demanded a large influx of workers, which precipitated a flood of new immigrants, particularly French Canadians. Many current residents are directly descended from Manchester's early mill workers. The Amoskeag Manufacturing Company went out of business in 1935, although its red brick mills have been renovated for other uses. Indeed, the mill town's 19th century affluence left behind some of the finest Victorian commercial, municipal and residential architecture in the state of New Hampshire.
The City of Manchester prides itself on its many historical buildings and churches. The cityscape is an uncanny mix of historical architecture and new developments. The old mill buildings along the Amoskeag River now house an assortment of software and high-tech firms.
Manchester's many cultural landmarks include the historic Palace Theatre, the Currier Museum of Art, the New Hampshire Institute of Art, the Franco-American Center, the Manchester Historic Association Millyard Museum, the Massabesic Audubon Center, the Amoskeag Fishways Learning and Visitors Center, the Lawrence L. Lee Scouting Museum and Max I. Silber Library, and the SEE Science Center. The Verizon Wireless Arena, opened in 2001, hosts a variety of sporting and entertainment events, including hockey and football games, rock concerts and fairs.
The Manchester school system has a dedicated staff and many programs that allow for an effective and fair education throughout the city. Manchester is also host to many colleges, including UNH Manchester, Southern New Hampshire University, and Hesser College.
