Today is My 4 Year ActiveRain Anniversary... DON’T Do What I Did!Well pass the cake and hold the candles.. today is technically my 4 year anniversary at ActiveRain. That’s right... four years ago today I had the foresight and good sense to join ActiveRain.
By “technically” that is the date I signed up and began my lurking. You know what I mean and I bet there are still some lurkers out there. I read the blogs and may have even commented on a few. Who knows. I wasn’t exactly sure why I was here. No one suggested I join. I have a vague recollection of seeing the ActiveRain symbol at the bottom of someone’s website, clicked on it and Ta-Dah found myself here... kind of like Dorothy clicking her heels in the Wizard of Oz.I wanted to ask someone about ActiveRain before fully immersing myself in the water so I decided to play it safe and call a fellow Texan... after all if you can’t trust a fellow Texan who can you trust..... thus I found Karen Otto.
Karen gave ActiveRain the thumbs up and with that I joined.
However, if you were to look at my Archives (down the right side of my blog page) you’ll see that I didn’t write a post until June of 2008; wrote 2 more in December of that year and probably got off to the slowest start in ActiveRain history.
So, on this my 4 year ActiveRain Anniversary... I encourage any of you newbies or even semi-newbies... don’t do what I did.....
Don’t-wait to read the Community Guidelines. There’s very helpful information in there that you need to know (don’t spam your fellow Rainers, for example)
-wait months to write your first post. Jump on in.. no one’s going to bite! And the comments you get and in some cases emails will be very helpful.
-wait to take advantage of the free ActiveRain University (in fairness, I’m not sure they had them when I joined)
DO
- read, post and comment every day
- take advantage of some of the ActiveRain challenges which for the most part are designed to teach you how to improve your blogging
-reach out to your fellow ActiveRain Members
So, Happy Anniversary to Me!
Thank You ActiveRain for all that I’ve learned!
Thank you to my fellow Bloggers for subscribing and reading my posts.
