All Neighbors in Port Aransas's Mustang Island
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.
Just when you think that you have seen everything on this low barrier island off the coast of Texas, you look up and a single bright pink Rosiette Spoonbill decides to reward you with a fly by! You may ask yourself , 'was that a flamingo??' But it was not...... It was our very own Texas Rosiette Spoonbill. The bird makes it's home along the coastal marshes of Texas. Come down for a look see. Maybe we can help you make your nest along the Texas Gulf Coast too!
