    Pictures help add some life to your words and keep the reader on your page longer!
    As you’re writing your blog post, wherever you put your cursor is where your photo will appear. In your blog editor toolbar, you’ll see a tree icon which will pop up as "Insert/Edit Image." Click it, then you can click the box next to the URL field to browse your computer for an image. Double click the image you’d like to use and select "Upload Photo."
    The image description will be the description of your image, while the title is the text people will see when they hover their pointer over the image.
    In the appearance tab, you can change the size, add a border, add spacing between your picture and your words and align the photo however you’d like (a preview will be shown at the right). Click "Insert," and it will appear.
    If you don’t like how it looks and wish to re-edit the size, border, placement, etc, click the picture. You’ll see the tree icon is highlighted, and you’ll be to edit your picture.

  • Where can I find non-copyright photos/graphics?

    Copyright is a very serious matter, but with a little attention to detail, it is easily avoidable. When using a "free" photo or graphic, be sure to carefully read the fine print. Many want you to attribute the owner, which can be done in your picture title.
    ActiveRain recommends using photos you took yourself, when possible. It not only guarantees that you won’t break any copyright laws, but also adds a personal touch!
    Other sites where you can find free photos or graphics are:
    Please review all Terms of Service on these sites to ensure you gain proper permission to use the images.

  • I’m seeing HTML code in my blog where it’s not supposed to be. Why is this?

    Chances are you are first typing your blog post in Microsoft Word then copying and pasting it into your blog. Microsoft Word tags on HTML coding on the back end that is not visible to us, until you post it.
    Instead, type your blog post straight into ActiveRain’s blog editor.
    If you prefer to have various fonts or colors that our blog editor does not offer, ActiveRain recommends installing the plug-in ScribeFire or simply writing your blog in Google Docs and copying it over once you’re finished.

  • How do I find blogs on ActiveRain?

    The blogs shown on our ActiveRain homepage are our Featured Blogs - blogs that members suggest for others to see.
    To find blogs, at the top of the page on the blue bar there is a link called "Blogs". This will show the most recent blogs in descending order. You can also select to see blogs by "Featured", "Professional", "Consumer", "My Subscriptions", "Most Comments", or by a specific time frame.

  • What is the social blog?

    From your "My Home" page, click "Read Social Blog" on the left. You can view the latest posts from your favorite bloggers.The first page will be the latest 10 members you are subscribed to.

    On the left-hand side of your "My Home" page, you’ll have a link to your Outside Blog. This may be labeled as "Your New Outside Blog" or by a name you’ve previously given to your Outside Blog.
    Up on the top left, you’ll see buttons to customize your Outside Blog. For this particular task, you’ll want to select "Domain." You will see a notification in red text, "You haven’t obtained your custom domain name yet."

    You have the opportunity to upload a background image and header image – be sure to take note of the recommended size of the images. If you need help resizing your images, we recommend picnik.com.
    The menu background will change the color of the bar at the top of your blog (currently defaulted to blue), the page background if you don’t want a background photo, the header background that will show up behind the header if your image is too small, or if you have an image that stretches your page out a bit. The menu text is what will show up in the header image (Search, Group, Blogs, etc.). If you use a dark menu background color, you probably want to use a light menu text color.
    Change your menu background, page background, header background, and menu text background how you want it!
    Save your changes once more and then visit your blog to see your finished result!

    Copy the code in the embed field, then return to your ActiveRain site and paste the HTML code into your blog where you want your video to appear. Post the blog entry to your drafts once more to ensure your content is correct, then switch your visibility to share with Members-Only or the Public!

  • Why should I comment?

    Think back on strong working relationships that you have, whether it be with clients or real estate professionals who trust you with their referrals. Most, if not all of your working relationships started with a casual conversation on a topic of common interest.
    The whole basis for blogs and social networks is to engage in interactive, casual conversations. Leads generated from commenting will not come instantly, but as you continue to build credibility, your conversations will later gain you leads to business.
    As if that wasn’t enough, each comment you make sends an inbound link back to your profile. This can lead others to your profile, as well as cause search engines to increase your link’s popularity.

  • What are associates?

    Associates are a way of connecting with other ActiveRain members and conveniently tracking who you’ve met. By asking them to be an associate, you are saying that this is someone you would like to "associate" yourself with. You probably read their blog often, like what they have to say and would love the opportunity to do business with them in the future – whether through referrals or information sharing.
    To add an associate, find a blogger that you want to "associate" yourself with. Go to their profile, and under their picture click on "Add as Associate." Select what group that associate is in (note that you can create new groups too). You can write a short public comment about this person as well. Click "Add/Update" and you now have them listed as an Associate.
    Now from your "My Home" page, select "Associates" from your list of links on the left hand side of the page. Anyone you have already added as an associate - and everyone you will add in the future - can be viewed here!
    At the top of this page you’ll see a set of boxes under the text "Which groups is this Associate in?" If you are just beginning, the only group available will be "Associates." If you’d like to create a new group, simply type in the name you’d like your new group to have and click "Create New Group."

  • What is Localism?

    ‪Localism is a consumer-facing side of ActiveRain for our RainMaker members. Its goal is to host local real estate information pertaining to specific communities in one spot. Similar to an Outside Blog, members can syndicate their hyper local blog posts to Localism, so that these posts can appear in the search results.
    More recently, ActiveRain has found more success on the Community pages, rather than Localism, and has begun to focus development resources on these pages.
    For our members that still enjoy the benefits of Localism, you can post to both Community pages and Localism at the same time. When writing your blog post, under the "Post To" options, select "Hyper-Local Pages." Then select your state, county, city and neighborhood. When you post your blog entry, this will automatically syndicate your post to the corresponding Community page along with your Localism page.
