January 2010 Rising Star Award Winners

Y! Brenna
Congratulations to our January Rising Star winners. For more information on this award, please see our Contest page.

Cynthia Ann has only been a Contributor since November, but she has already risen to a Clout 7 with 115 pieces of content and over 47,000 page views. Her enthusiasm for AC and life is infectious and she has earned the affection of the community, who also nominated her for this award. Make sure to read her Summer Camps for Children with Special Needs.

Tech reviewer extraordinaire and Featured Contributor Timothy Knuth has already published 40 incredibly informative pieces since joining at the end of October. If you are thinking of upgrading to Windows 7, make sure to read his Migrating Windows XP or Vista Profile to Windows 7.

Cindy Tuttle could win this award for sheer volume of contributions (over 400 since December), but it's her immersion into the community, positive energy and love of AC that earned her this award. Her piece, What is a Spiritual Retreat?, is a great example of her spiritually-inclined and community-minded style.

Disability rights activist and advocate, Anita Cameron, brings a unique perspective to her AC content. Covering everything from her testimony to the NY State Senate Finance Committee to tips on being disabled and flying under a heightened terror alert, she combines her expertise and personal experience. Don't miss Whirlwind Wheelchair International: Bringing Wheelchairs to Haitian Disabled.

Last, but certainly not least: Kay Balbi has shown real promise in areas that take most Contributors much longer to master-SEO and great title-writing. Her diverse topics and personal voice have contributed to her success on AC. Bathroom Floor Tiling - Do It Yourself in 10 Steps is a great example of her potential as a great evergreen content producer.
