I'm not sure, but I too am a "rookie" =)  I think we have to post lots or something like that to get stars.   But welcome to active.com!  =)

Hey Newbie!  Me too...just a 'rookie'.  I think I've read too that you get points for asking/answering questions, making a blog and posting stuff on there.

I just started a blog and this chart was on the side bar:

Legend

We're Not Worthy: 10,000 - 1,000,000,000 pts

Legend: 1,000 - 9,999 pts

Pro: 300 - 999 pts

Expert: 200 - 299 pts

Amateur: 40 - 199 pts

Rookie: 0 - 39 pts

So it looks like we're rookies until we get over 39 points!    Happy posting!

Thank you!

I'm a Rookie myself but welcome anyways, I guess just like they say We just have to post coments and answer questions to get points, good luck and keep on running.
