I hit the half-million point mark on points last week. Actually, the AR guys were kind enough to give me a "new dad" gift by rounding my points a little bit so that I could hit exactly 500,000 (see screen shot at right). 
When I started on ActiveRain back in August 2007 (20+ months ago), I never would have conceived of having a point total in this range. I just knew that I enjoyed the interaction and the friendships that I was developing.
Then, along the way, something else happened.
I realized that I really love to write, and write I did. I have composed almost 800 posts on this blog to date. I have written posts for SEO purposes, posts about my family, silly posts, tutorials, market reports, posts that I was dared to write (seriously), and posts to help others.
I haven't had as much time to write lately, primarily because of our latest addition and my wife's pregnancy prior to that. My family needs me more than my blog needs me - it's that simple.
I am happy to report that I have closed a handful of deals this year already which came directly from ActiveRain. In fact, now that I have been doing this for over a year and a half, I am astounded by the number of direct consumer contacts that I receive now, many of whom claim to have been reading my blog for months.
Think about that for a second and let it sink in.
Since consumers rarely comment on my posts here, I really have no way to gauge how many of them are reading my stuff unless they call or email me. However, I have a far larger audience than my comments would indicate.
I got curious today to see which one of my posts has generated the most traffic overall. I wasn't really surprised to find that it is this one:
Austin Texas Relocation Package
In fact, that post (which only garnered 30 comments) has had 18,512 clicks as of today. Yes, you read that last line correctly. That means that over 18,000 people have come across this post, most likely because it holds the #1 or 2 position on Google AND Yahoo for this term and its variants.
I am currently working with some clients from New York who found the relocation package post first, and it served as the portal to the rest of my blog. They are looking to move this summer sometime, and they will probably spend $500,000 or thereabouts on a condo downtown.
I guess I just wanted to share this stuff with you in order to encourage you to continue writing. If you feel discouraged because you aren't getting leads, GIVE IT TIME. Keep cranking out good, original content and you WILL be found!

Congratulations. Earned with hard work and deserving of all the business you are closing!
500,000 points is just crazy talk! I am close to 200,000 and cant believe anyone can get 500!
500K? Mind-boggling!!!
Barb - Thanks so much. I really appreciate that!
Shane - Crazy talk indeed. I thought the same thing awhile back.
Wow, your rock...awesome....I don't know how you do it all, husband, father, active in your church, volunteer, blog, radio show.
Gee....
MOst impressive Jason!! Wow, I am sure you have educated many, many folks with those 500K & maybe learned a few things along the way & had a BLAST! THat featured post # is astounding!! Good for you & congrats on your beautiful new baby!! I hope Pam is feeling well. KM
Jason - I have to echo Missy's comment. Congratulations and the best success with your client.
Hey Jason!
THAT IS AWESOME!!! Congrats on your achievement, and I love to read your blog, I kinda hang in the shadows, but I read it all the time. You have given me great ideas to post on and I wanted to say a big fat "Thank You"!! :) I hope your family is doing well and I wish all the best to you. Again congrats on the points, but more congrats on your new found love of writing! :)
-Lisa
SOOO many points! Congrats, I've got a lot of work to do!
Bruce - I used to think the same thing!
Missy - Thank you so much for your kind remarks. I sometimes wonder the same thing - it just seems to fall in place somehow. I hope you're doing well!
Kristin - Thanks! Actually, Pam is pretty sick right now with upper respiratory stuff (fever yesterday). We just started a new antibiotic for her. I hope it works this time.
Petra - Thanks very much. I really appreciate that.
Lisa - Thanks for your glowing praise. I'm glad to hear that you have found inspiration from my blog. Who is Todd?!? :)
Troy - Thanks! You can do it, too.
Congratulations on hitting 500,000. I joined before a lot of people who pondered too much on what to post so never grew much in points. I was trying to write for the AR community - contribute since I received so much. Now, with my outside blog, I have been writing for the community where I do business. I watch my stats and know a lot of people read my market analysis etc. which encourages me. While it is nice to get comments here, those are the telling #s for creating business.
Jason,
That's a lot of writing and congrats on the achievement.
Jason, and this my friend is just one of the reasons I call you "mentor" Wow, congrats to you on so many levels. From day one of reading your blog I was hooked and I often find myself looking on the board for your blogs and waiting for the next one to appear. Great stuff that you're so busy and a true testament that "sticking with it" will produce amazing results. ~Anne Marie P.S. Hope Pam will be feeling better very soon.
You are on a roll... excellent work Jason.
Jason - Congratulations. Awesome! Your blogs are quite interesting and educational. I learned a lot from those tutorials. You deserve all those points. Hope Pam is feeling much better. Enjoy the little one, she was so adorable.
Can you and Donna move to another city? You are killing Austin agents!
We all are very proud of you and you have helped alot of other agents in improving their results in their blogging activity.....especially me. Now the race for a million......... You, personally, have helped shaped AR and you should feel proud. We may never get the blogging results that you have achieved, but we have all improved and will improve because of you.
thx......
In fact, that post (which only garnered 30 comments) has had 18,512 clicks as of today.
P.S. Along with the congratulations you're getting, I hope all ActiveRainers pay attention to the massive number of clicks you've received for providing good information to consumers.
I think being a parent makes us be multi-taskers because we don't have a choice. What a great accomplishment - the amount of clicks on one blog is well worth it!
Jason - you're a Blogging Machine my friend. Congrats on a "HUGE" accomplishment! You've worked hard in the rain, the benefits of your increased friendships and business are well deserved.
BTW - I was so proud of you, I just fixed the width on your twitter widget to fit on your sidebar better! Luv ya man!! :-)
Hi "Jason!"
LOL Sorry! I was talking to one of my clients right before I posted that comment, I bet you can't guess what his name is. Todd! LOL, I feel so embarassed, Sorry! :D I edited my previous comment, hope I didn't upset you... >.<
-Lisa
Hi Jason -- Congrats (again) on the new addition, your 500K achievement and clients from AR. I always like reading your posts.
Jason, wow. That is amazing. I just realized that the clicks on my market analysis for my areas are getting large amounts of hits, and I thought why on earth would any AR members be looking? Hmm.... could it be? Other people are looking at my stuff? I am seeing large hits, some in the 500 for things I have done and few comments.
You are making me think differently about things.
Way to go, by the way. I am so inspired, impressed, and all around in awe!
Jason - (On average) how long would you say it takes you to compose a post? And a follow up question (again a guestimate is fine) how much more time would you say on average you spend reading and interacting than you do posting? (I know I probably spend more than 10 times reading my forums than I do posting on them so I figure you have a similar sense)
Inquiring minds want to know.
Incidentally - the word I need to type in to make this comment is papaya - Papa Yay! (close enough) congrats dude.
Congratulations, Jason! I can certainly attest to all the benefits that come with and exceed earning 500,000 points! You're so right - the number of comments don't reveal the number of readers or the amount of business generated.
You rock! I find your style of writing so easy to read. And I too have been influenced by you. I started posting on this blog on Active Rain on a personal note and was worried that I should be keeping it "strictly business" So I went around and read some stuff and one of your "family" posts was one I happened upon. I'm so glad I did. Congratulations on all you have accomplished and the arrival on Jenny.
Jason, a great accomplishment. I am at 66,000+ points. Hope the new baby is not keeping you up.
Jason 500,000 good for you! Congratulation again on your new baby girl. Mindy
Congrats on 500K, Jason! That's a real eye-opener that your relocation post is the most visited.
Jason: That's a whole lotta talkin' typin' CONGRAT'S!!!
I like my half full glass and toast to your next 500K. Mile stones, rugrats, and features OH MY!- cw
Jason - Another congratulations to you for your 500,000 points! Enjoy that baby!
Mary
Jason, I miss reading your blogs, but babies are definately more important! Congratulations on your new addition!
Hi Jason~ Way to go! The power of the internet and Activerain is unbelievable to say the least. Keep up the good work.
That is alot of writing and commenting!! Congratulations and blessings to you and family on your new daughter!
Jason: You are spot on and right on! and I am going to tell you to write on ~ all the way to the bank! Congratulations!
A big congrats. What a milestone. May you make as many dollars from ActiveRain as you've earned points!
Jason,
Congratulations on your 500,000 points! That's a lot of writing and composing! That is a lot of typoing! Hope everything is going well with the addition to the household!
Jason,
Having read more than a few of your post 500,000 points is no big deal.
You earned them! Well done!
Bill
I am so excited for you. I made a goal to hit 400000 and I just started. I wanted to beat the Wiscoonsin agent. 20 Months....Yikes...I was thinking it would take me 6 months. I guess I need to get blogging.
Great job Jason,
I am encouraged to write intersesting posts and more of them, just as you did. You are my hero.
Thanks!
Jason,
You are a superstar -- in more ways than one!
Congrats on half a mil!
Congratulations TCT! I hope my typing fingers hold out long enough to let me attain that many points and that many clients. Hope the family is doing well!
Thank you for selling me on your Quest! I would love to help you my friend! perhaps you could find time to subscribe to my blog and help with your occasional comments on what you like and how i could improve.
Good job Jason. I just broke 500,000 last week so I think you have probably alreay blown by me. I'm happy to hear it is paying off for you with business. That is the main thing. Keep at it.
Jason - Solid inspiration. Freinds - priceless, Business leads ...love hearing it. I'm in. Congrats on wonderful posts
Congratulations Jason! Having just hit 200K points, I can only imagine the effort it took for you to hit 500K in not a too much longer period of time!
Jason, CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is quite an amazing feat! Here's to your next 500,000!
Amazing and congratulations. I hope to hit 500,000 points one day!
Hi Jason! Congratulations on the new little one, and also on your half million points! WHEW!! Thanks for all that you share here, inspiring and motivating...well done! (and OUTdone with a new baby miracle!
Jason - Congratulations. I'm still a wee bit behind you, but the day you retire, I'm going to catch up - I swear. Also just bookmarked you relocation package post. Absolutely incredible. I may have to steal some thoughts from you on that one.
Jason, WOW the sound of a half a million! That's a lot of just about anything. I love reading your posts including .. stuff about your family, silly posts, tutorials, etc. You have so much to share with us. Much continued success.
Man, congradulations! I will be tickled when I hit 25,000 and get to the first page ranking on AR for Missouri.
Wow great job. I'm gonna make them round off the points like you had them do for you. That was a win-win.
Congratulations on the points and the new baby.
Hi Jason - What a great post! I could only dream of having so many points...Let's see, 800 posts, 20 months, that means 40 posts a month or roughly 1+ a day, right? Maybe I can do that... :-)
Jason - Congrats on the 500K and you have worked very hard to get where you are now. Now it's on to 750K and 1M.
You are amazing and I am amazed how blogging helped you find your writer's voice. I think you may have been one of the 1st bloggers here that I started following with regularity. Your posts always seem to have value. If you aren't posting cutting edge information on real estate technology then you are sharing trials and success.
I am glad that I get to reap the benefits of a great person and writer. Salute, a toast, on 500,000.
Thanks for the positive outlook. I just started a few months ago and i thought i would never be able to blog. I am starting to really enjoy it, and i think i am improving. Congrats on that new son!
Congrats on your new addition and to your 500000 points
Congrats Jason...you're a testiment to hard work and perseverence if Ive ever seen one...sweet new badge btw ;)
Only 500,000 points?... man, they must be hiding some of yours... they're holding out on you! 'cause I've counted over 700,000 of your points, just by reading each and every one of your posts, counting up the comments, and calculating them in, along with all the comments you've made...
... nah, I haven't really done that... congrats man... well deserved.
Wow, Jason, That's a HUGE achievement....and a heck of a lot of writing, commenting and points! I wish you continued successes in and out of the rain.
Such a great milestone, Jason. I love your posts. Congrats on the new addition and 500,000. Keep 'em coming.
P.S. Your smile is infectious.
I saw your newest blog and was so excited that I forgot to sign in before I commented.
It has been an honor to share your musing since I became a member of AR. I have always enjoyed your insightful, educational and humorous posts. It is amazing how blogging helped find all the other sides of you, writer, broadcaster and even better than ever Realtor. You are a friend to many. I love the long distance connectivity we can all achieve on this network.
Salute, a toast, 500,000.
Jason, Congratulations on your addition and your Half Million Points! I am glad you shared your time away due to your wife's pregnancy and your new addition. Doesn't make me feel so bad for not writing during my pregnancy and the birth of our daughter 10 weeks ago.
Congrats on everything! You hare doing a great job and I hope someday to be there too!-Dinah Lee
Congratulations Jason. The point total is a testament to all your hard work and all the followers who enjoy what you have to say. Keep up the good work and on to a million : )
Jason, congrats! A double milestone week - first la bebe, then 500K points!
Bravo Mate !!!
What a nice couple of weeks for you huh !!!!
Well done ... you are the benchmark that many of us shoot for
Cheers !
Sheldon
Jason...
A hearty congratulations on this important milestone! I have set my 2009 goad to hit the half million mark before the end of 2009, and so far, I am on track to accomplish the feat.
It's a lot of posts and a lot of comments ... but as you mentioned... a lot of good things along the way! Well done, my friend!
Thanks for the tip about relocation packages. It's great to know what works!
Jason, great stuff. It's not really about the points as much as how those points reflect your success as a business. I'm glad there is a very high correlation. Ijust astarted on AR a couple of months ago and you've set a great example. Thank you.
And to think we started actively blogging around the same time. Madness. I see the same pattern with my business as it correlates to my blog, though. Over 50% of this year's sales and current active client base is attributable to my blog directly or other social media endeavor (they're all interconnected, and I don't really give a fig as to which source deserves the ultimate credit). Not too bad for a couple of knock-around agents who had to listen to a vocal few detractors who somehow decided we we doing it all wrong with our shenanigans, off topic ramblings, comment hijacking hilarity, etc. Score one for the good guys and congrats on the cool half mil. At my glacial pace, I'll see you there in another two years.
Jason this was a great post! I had my second child in August and it has taken me about 7 months to get back into the work/family balance. I just started blogging in March and love watching my points go up... no clients yet but I am very optimistic. Congrat's on the new edition.
Congratulations on your accomplishment and your family, glad to hear you have things in perspective between your blog and family, good man. Thanks for the words of encouragement about clients reading and reacting, I haven't started really blogging yet, just commenting, but I am going to dive in sooner than later.
CONGRATULATIONS! Great Post! You have given me a very needed "second wind". I am certainly a "Newbie" and eager to learn. Looking forward to more informative information.
Congrats my friend. From the time I started here, I looked at your posts as a motivation to keep on going. Keep on rocking in the rain!
Jason Congrats! You earned each and every point you received.
Congratulations! And yes, the public is reading our blogs! I get mostly listings from mine, which is fine with me =D And the fantastic part is that by the time they call me/you/any of us, many times they've been following our blogs for a while, and they feel like they already know us. It's awesome to already have part of the relationship built, before we even speak to them =)
Jason - congratulations to you on several fronts. That's a lot of writing. And your anecdotes of success are just another example of the power our blogging can have, and something the doubters should keep in mind. My short sale post from 2 years ago still gets comments and has over 34,000 views. Astounding. But perhaps not in this market.
Jeff
Congratulations two-fold, Jason! Saw a Mercedes the other day with a 500,000 mile badge on the grille - the only shiny part on the car (but the owner says he thinks it will go another 500k). Maybe you should get a photo with a Hip-Hop Grill with "500k" in rhinestones....ok, maybe not!
Jason: Congratulations to you on many accounts... Points, Baby and of course all the business from the rain.
Jason -
Congrats! Great Milestone!
Thanks for always sharing with us!
DEAN & DEAN'S TEAM CHICAGO
Jason, simply incredible! I agree with Brad, you are a machine! 500K - Wow!
Congratulations on your accomplishment!
I am starting to see leads both from Active Rain and from the Google juice generated by my posts here.
Jason, congrats and welcome to the BIG LEAGUES with the power hitters! You are starting to gain on Lenn Harley, eh? And congrats on the new addition to your family also!!!
Well Jason,
It seems you have out done yourself with this one!! Congratulations on your Milestone and the New Baby too!! Enjoy every Moment!! And Thank You for the encouragement!!
Congrats on the massive points, hard work and worthwhile results. Great content, content, content and more content and things good will come! You are proof.
Also, big congrats to you and your wife on the new babe! You are a wise person with your priorities in order.
Sue
Very Encouraging Jason,
Congrats on 500,000 points. Your like a point man Jason, a lot of us keep an eye on you to see what you are up to next.
Steve
500K - Congratulations! Your blog is now as big as a book. How cool!
Hey Jason,
Is there any way that AR will allow me to transfer some of my points to you? I would be willing to help out.....
Holy cow! That's impressive. Where do you find the time? I'm trying to get to 3,000 but I've only been on a month or so. Congratulations!
WOW. ..what a great milestone. . among all the benefits the one that sticks up the most is you showing your perseverance. . .a good trait to have if you are a Realtor.. .You are an inspiration, Congratulations
wow, Jason. I just figured that on average you had to make 833 points a day to make this goal:) I better start now!:) Congratulations!
Congratulations Jason, I am following in your footsteps, although lagging behind you considerable, do you think its because you are such a tall man and I am such a short woman I cant keep up? LOL. Those are mighty big footsteps you have, but Im happy to trail along because you have given so much to me and others in your words here on active rain and anytime I needed to pickup the phone and call you. Thanks Jason, and goodluck with the new clients! Job well done. 500,000 wow, that blows me away!
Jason - you are an inspiration to us all! Love the simplicity of your relocation package. I'm hoping to start relocation packages for each of the smaller surrounding towns for my area.
Jason ~ You are "The Man"; congratulations on the 500,000 milestone; thanks for sharing your knowledge & experiences.
Gosh, I saw you had 99 comments so I wanted to put you in triple digits. You deserve at least that much for slaving over a hot blog. Congratulations!
How did you get the subscribe buttons?
Way to go my friendI I guess this means you are buying the next time we have lunch!
Bully for you Jason!....thisis a real accomplishment and I hope some day to hit this mark...I can dream can't I?!
Patricia Aulson/Portsmouth NH Real Estate
Make it 18,513 clicks on the Relocation package. That was(is) a great post. It must have taken many hours to piece together. Nice job. Congratulations on the 500,000 bet when you began, you had no idea where the journey would take you. Nice accomplishment.
I'm not sure how you find the time for everything you do, but congratulations are definitely in order! You deserve every single on of those points, and then some!
Congratulations on the new baby and your success - both with the number of points/blogs and the clients....I've recently fallen off the AR bandwagon a bit but have found that I'm getting leads...its amazing...and I haven't done a 1/4 of what you've done...so I'm back with a vengeance! Good luck with the new baby and its always great to hear about your successes.
Work you fingers to the bone and what do you get? Boney fingers..er make that boney blogger fingers. That's alot of key strokes and imagination for the 500,000 point buzzer to go off. Way to go Jason (high five slapping sound). When's the party in your backyard and what do you want us all to bring to celebrate?
Way to go, Jason! Hey, do you think... that... you could get a bonus? Say, put a dollar sign ($) in fron of your point count?!
Congrats!
Crouch - I recall one of the first times I came across you, when you gave me a ring at the office. I also recall you saying something about this Jennifer girl who was seemingly flirting with me on one of my posts. Hmmm:)
Congrats, big man. Your time and persistence has certainly paid off and I'm glad you get the recognition for your hard work. Take care and I'll see you at the next 500,000.
Morgan - For this particular post, it took me about 15 minutes. I think I average around 20-30 minutes per post, or maybe 45 minutes for a longer, more involved one. Obviously, the "relocation package" post was an amalgam of about 20-30 other posts, so that is a whole different ballgame. As for the time spent commenting/reading, I used to spend hours each day perusing posts, but I am somewhat limited now (maybe an hour or so daily) because of our growing brokerage and our new baby. Thanks for asking - hope you're doing well!
Brad - THANK YOU! Very cool indeed. I really appreciate that. Someday, I hope to have the technical savvy that you do. :)
Lisa - I am not at all upset by the "Todd" comment. I was just giving you a hard time about it. No worries -
Sardi - I remember that conversation well. Hope you and Jennifer are both doing well. I understand that a move was made, correct? I still think your "Summer Breeze" post was one of my favorites ever.
Congrats!
Congratulations.
Jason,
Your too kind! Carla Muss just wrote a blog on my oopsy and now I'm getting the heat! :D I guess I deserve it, but I just wanted to say sorry again, and thank you for not bashing me too hard! :)
-Lisa
Lisa - Seriously? Someone else wrote a post about that? Hilarious! I'll look for it now. I can't bash you for that - it was just a simple mistake.
Congratulations, Jason! I'm new here, so it's fun to see what's possible with a couple years of hard work.
Congratulations Jason! $500K is a truly impressive number...one that I hope to reach someday...Keep up the good work. It's great to hear that blogging is getting results because like you, I have found that I really enjoy writing as well :-)
--Anne Rains
Hi Jason, Congratulations! 500,000 points!!! That's wonderful -- it certainly has been a pleasure knowing you all these months. We probably need to put our heads together and plan another AR Gathering -- maybe in June????
Jason,
Congrats on the points achievement, feature and localism post that brings in so much business. How long did it take you to write that post? I am sure quite some time. I am bookmarking that post to help me write a localism post to draw in more business.
Wow.......cool stuff Jason. You are inspiring to say the least. I don't even have 20K points and I just got a lead from a blog post. And we're looking at homes tomorrow! Now this is very cool. They buyers are already qualified, they've read my home buyer book and they're ready to rock and roll.
I am fast becoming one of those AR addicts I read about at first and thought they were just a bit 'titched in the cabessa"! Not anymore. I'm hooked.
Welcome to the new baby!
Jason:
Let me join the numerous others an say congradulations on hitting that mark. Now that you know what it takes, can you predict 1,000,000?
Jason - congratulations! Looking forward to many more wonderful posts!
That's mucho points. Great Job!
Nice touch on the even 500K. I wouldn't have thought to ask for that.
Congrats on a new baby and I guess congrats on hitting 500K though I can't figure out why but if you think it's a good thing, that is all that matters!
Congrats Jason. Sounds you have a bunch of things to be excited about!!
Just adding my congrats and wishing your wife and baby better health and a wonderful year for you all, keep on doing what you're doing Jason, your walk works!
Holy crap. :)
Congratulations Jason, you are a great example of consistent persistence with blogging, you have certainly earned your success.
Now that I have gotten back up off the floor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG....GEEZ I have a long, long way to go..
A big congrats you deserve it! Where do you rank on ACtive Rain?
Judy - I was actually thinking of having a gathering in late August, during the big KW national meeting that takes place here. I am definitely up for doing something this summer.
Mike - The post itself didn't take horribly long, but since it includes tons of other articles, the total time was probably 12-18 hours.
Jeff - I didn't ask for it! They just gave me a few extra points to give me the round number.
Russell - Welcome to ActiveRain! I see that you are brand-new here, so this probably doesn't mean much to you yet. After you have been here awhile contributing, you will better understand the effort involved to achieve this number. Thanks!
Mary - I rank 6th overall on ActiveRain.
Jason what an awesome post that was and I missed it when it came out. I can see why it gets so much traffic. I need to go back and see what my record post is here.
you da man Jason, take a break you deserve it. You'll have plenty of blog material about your new baby:)
Wow.. that is some serious committment. Congratulations on all of the points. That is an amazing number (18,000 clicks) for that post.
Hi Jason! Congratulations and you know, you do everything right here in the Rain! Thanks for being such a mentor to SO many--I think you probably have the largest following here on Active and you are SO deserving--always so humble and so helpful!
As for the relo package--wasn't that Adam's idea? I would expect that was the most viewed--I've played around with posts like that and seen that most of them that garner the numbers are local posts.
I also referred another AR member to you for some SEO guidance. I don't know if he'll call or read your work first but, really nice guy--you'll enjoy working with him.
Anyway, hope all is well with the new baby and mom and that dad is hanging in there too! Have a great week Mr. 1/2Million Man!
Jason - That is very encouraging...and Congratulations on the points! Wow! :)
Jason, You da man sir. You are a inspiration to us all....
Jason--Congrats on 500,000 and 88 featured posts!!! Wow! Enjoy the new addition and sell some real estate, too. (That is the manager in me. Even though I am retired from management I still revert back). I enjoy your posts.
Last week I was excited to earn my first gold star. Like you I enjoy writing so I will be around for awhile. Mary
wow..all I got from the AR guys for being a new dad was a $1000 gift card to Babies-R-Us. Sure coulda used those points! :)
Congrats Jason!
Congratulations on the milestone and on your continued success. it is important to keep writing. I enjoy your musings and know the public does too even if they do not comment much.
Holy I haven't logged into AR for a while, Batman! This one should have had a Bat Signal for sure!
Congrats on the milestone of all AR milestones, Jason! HUGS!
What a great accomplishment! The points are fantastic, but even more rewarding are the relationships and clients you have built.
Way to go, and keep up the writing ~ so many of us enjoy your posts!
Now that's dedication!! Thanks so much for leading by example
'Recently made 500,000 points myself, and I went looking to see if Neal had started a group for folks in this category, like his bronze, gold, silver and platinum halls of fame. In the process I found this, so let me congratulate you again - a year and a half later, I'll bet you're close to 700,000...
Margaret - Actually, I'm getting close to 750k now, although I've been so busy with other stuff lately that I haven't had much time for blogging. Thanks very much for stopping by!
Thank you for your very interesting post. I have high regard for the valuable information you offer in your Articles. I really believe you will do much better in the future. Thanks a lot.
