Dmitry & Maureen: Moving Metro Detroit

Hey thanks again for putting this together.

I'm going to have my hands full myself, as ActiveRain is hosting the Carnival of Real Estate is another two weeks.  I'll have to stock up on red bull to read through all those posts.

I've been focusing on Market Reports for counties / cities in my market area.  I'm doing his because I see a dearth of consumer listings on Active Rain.  I believe that we'll get more consumer traffic with more local blogs. 

Where to I send a submission???  I don't think I got that straight last time.  I believe I might have sent a submission into a black hole

Thanks.

Lenn

KK, I'm going after the 300 points myself!

Damion, thanks for stepping up.  Now we've got two winners from the first Carnival on board.

Matt, I think we are going to resumbit all of these carnival entries to the carnival of RE for when you judge.  :->

Lenn, once we have the hosts lined up, you will submit directly to them, through their contact page.

Colleen, Thanks for offering. Let's see where it goes.  I know I can call on you if we are in a pinch! 

Happy to help out!  Count me in:)

I was really unhappy with my last entry... it was one of those posts that I thought would be great but it just didn't come together. So, I would prefer to enter again... but if you are short of hosts, I will be happy to... I can live to fight another day.

Moo

Hi Maureen,

I will judge regional news and events. 

If you want me to judge -- then I'll be glad too!

Toby

Frances do you have a preference of what you judge?

Toby, thanks for filling out the list.  

Angus, you know your posts always moooove me.  Thanks for being there, but I think we are all set now. 

Maureen - on your original post above, you have 3 hosts listed.  Are they the only ones to submit posts to?  I've never done this before, so want to make sure I'm understanding what one is supposed to do before making a mistake....  ;-)

Thanks!

Ann Cummings

Maureen,

Thanks for the info on this..I'm not sure how it all works but I think my hubby's blog  would be something he should enter.

If you have  a chance can you go take  a peak and let me know what you think? 

Thanks

Monika 

MF - you have all the hosts? 

Get ready - get set.. when is the deadline?  Riiiiiighhhttt.. Midnight Friday Dec 1st. 

Good luck Everyone!!

 Hi Maureen, if ever you have a category re marketing on the web and need a judge, count me in.

 TLW... I'll be waiting for the cotton candy. ;-)

All the hosts names are up.  Go submit away... Fill their mail boxes with beautiful blogs.  You only need to submit directly to the host.  

Monika, I will send you an email.  

Rich, I think the categories are a bit less elusive when you are bloggin' for the people.  I'm hoping for no mixups.

Christine, Would you want to do it next time?  

Ines, send a blog off to one of the hosts!

mari, you just gave me an idea.  We'll talk.

Sharon, hmmmm.  500?  No, not really.  Less than 50, most certainly.  25 would have been the highest last time.  We've only done this once, and I am certain the host's mailboxes will run over with good blogs this month. 

I hope you will consider entering.  

Here You Go Marty. Now Pay Up. LOL!

TLW "The Lovely Wife"...God Bless. Now Give Me My Dime...ROAR!

I'm excited to get a "preview" of the best in general information. Go ahead and give me your best shot! :-)

We've had a lot of questions about "what are you looking for?" I would strongly suggest looking at the first Active Rain Carnival and reading through the posts in the categories you are considering (and no, not just because I'm a past winner) and it will become obvious which section is right for your post.

Good luck to all and can't wait to read all the great tips!

Toby

Good suggestion Toby.  If people click on my Carnival of Active Rain tag (right sidebar) they'll find my carnival of active rain articles which iclude links to all of last times winners.

Maureen, re "you just gave me an idea.  We'll talk.", anytime, glad to help if/when I can.

No, Jason.  You get one entry total.  Not per category.  If you would like to judge another time, I can put you on the list.  Let me know.

Maureen, is it that time again! I can't believe it was just the other day that I lost...oh well ... perhaps this one will be better.

I have a suggestion, especially after reading one of the comments "black hole"...do you think it might be a good idea to get an acknowledgment as a receipt for having sent the URL to the entry? Don't know if that's even feasible or not.

You asked the ? about a Dec. Carnival...my vote is no, due to such a busy holiday month. 

Thanks Gena, I also think my blog advertise a listing went to a black hole.  I keep looking back at the blog and changing the settings for it but it doesn't appear in the region.  It is not for the carnival but if I do figure out how to do a great blog by tomorrow night I'd like someone to acknowledge receipt.

thanks

Gena,

That is a super idea.  I will ask the hosts if they can send back an acknowledgement after receiving entries,  Thank you.   

Hi Maureen & Dmitry,

Not sure if my blogs would rate contest winning status but we'd love to try.  Still alittle vague though how to enter.  I read over the whole thing and don't know how to get started.  Can you help please for us less than AR saavy or newbies.

Thanks!

Lisa Hammerstein,CRS

Sure Lisa.  Thanks for asking.

1. Chose one blog you like. 
2. Click on the title. 
3. Copy the link to the post from the address bar of your web browser.
4. Come back to this post, and click on the name of the host who is taking care that category.  
5. Use the "contact me" feature to send them the link to the post.

MF - I have to tell you that I e-mailed a link to my pst to the category host and got an immediate response that they had received it.  On my end, I did not have any problems, thanks.
