Great idea Rich...after having so many comments on my post yesterday asking questions it is so much easier to tell them to go to a group!

Rich - thanks for this post and I bookmarked it.

We definitely needed a group like this Rich, the members will benefit greatly from having a "one-stop-shop" to gather information and direction. Great call my friend!  :-)

Posted by Brad Andersohn ~ Community Manager (ActiveRain) over 2 years ago

Wow...another group...soon I'll be all localismed out...now I have a full library of Localism at my finger tips.

Gracious Rich...

This should make a difference. I know you Guys probably get tired of answering the same questions over and over.

The Group will serve as a wonderful place to point folks too. Now if we could get everyone to listen to Brian Brady's interview with "The RainMaker" (CEO or AR-Jonathan Wasburn) and "The Widow Maker" (Bob Stewart) we'd be good to go :)

Folks...

Just in case you missed the interview take 45 minutes of your time and listen to what the Guys have to say about The New Localism. You can turn up your speakers and listen while you Blog people :)

Rich,

Thanks for all your efforts the entire staff - it is a good vision and a good presentation.

For the Localism and for the Outside Blog - RSS feeds and subscription links will help as soon as they can be implemented.

Opening the photo uploads would be welcome as well.

It will be here tomorrow, and we are excited. Even those of us who have expressed concerns are ready to get it going.

You will not be able to post to the Group but the ongoing progression of updates will serve you well.

Thank you Rich.....I am fairly new and sometimes I feel a little lost in the Rain...but this will help for sure! 

Things change so fast here---what I learned when I first joined, back in May--doesn't apply!  Every time I log on to Active Rain--it feels like my first time!   I wish had this same feeling in other areas in my life!  lol

Thanks Richand thanks TLW for pointing out this group  - now I have some where to go to follow the story instead of reading all the unofficial posts and joining in to the guessing game myself.

  • August 8th - South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, US Virgin Islands, Vermont, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Wyoming, Saskatchewan, Yukon

If I understand correctly, I will not be able to sign up here in Texas until August 8th?

Thanks in advance, Russell

I hate the fact that you suck me in.  I now have more to learn.....I already have enough to learn, but......... I suppose that if I'm to dominate in all facets of life, then I need to know localism inside out.  This is bookmarked Rich.....sigh!

Hey Rich,

I had been away from Localism for a while.  These links are terrific - I'll read each one and get back in the program.

Thanks,    Laurie

Rich, Thanks for including this link again in your recent blog post.  This time, I'm bookmarking it! :)

Posted by Lola Audu~Audu Real Estate~Grand Rapids, MI Real Estate about 1 year ago

Thanks Rich for guiding me to this page.  I am working through the information and have realized the merits of bookmarking.  ActiveRain is so good about giving 'how-to's' but unfortunately I can't always get to the place to find the information as condensed as this.  Thanks again.

Posted by Bruce & Mary Smith REALTORS® Savannah Lakes Village McCormick SC (Savannah Lakes Homes) about 1 year ago

Hi Rich:

Thanks for this information - It is great that it is in one place. I have bookmarked it for future referrence - Each day I get another drop of rain. Great stuff.

Posted by Gwenn Tanvas - Wisconsin Mortgage Expert - FHA Loans - VA Loans - USDA Rural - (Local Mortgage Expert! ) about 1 year ago

Bruce & Mary:  Glad you found it! Another great resource is the link at the bottom of the page, 'Help/FAQ'...that contains a number of really helpful tutorials....

Gwenn:   Welcome to the Rain! How's life up along the Fox River? Let me know if you ever have any questions along the way!
