Some great insights and creative ideas from Marte.  I love how she always observes things and then turns them into stronger ideas.  Thanks Marte for making me think. Yesterday's mail brought an envelope that fairly demanded that I open it. There's no way I could have dropped it in the trash:  Cou...

In case you missed Pat Kennedy's weekly recap.  I always look forward to these on Sunday as she has great picks. Thanks so much Pat for all that you do in the Rain.  It's a beautiful day here is DC, and the house I planning to hold open just went under contract, so I think I'll pack up Willie the...

Here's a very useful "how to" post from Bob Stewart.  I will say it's definitely much easier on wordpress, but this is a good work around solution on AR. I can write whatever I want here Eric Boucher, a Rainer in CT, reached out to me a few days ago to ask how he would add a caption to an image t...

The latest Panda update (mid May 2014) boosted my site.  It was an unexpected pleasant surprise.  Several of my top articles had fallen in the serps. They were still doing well (getting over 1,000 clicks a month), but not nearly as well as they were doing before Hummingbird.   Well last month bro...

Very few in my industry are doing this, so we are lucky.  It makes it easier for us.  I showed this to a handyman a few years ago in December when he was super slow and he was literally sitting in his office (which is usually what he does anyway as he fields the calls for his guys.  I said, "what...

Here is a clip from "Rent."  This is such a beautiful song.  This is the one from the movie (which I never saw) but I remember being thrilled that so much of the original cast from the broadway show was in it, including Taye Diggs, Idina Menzel, Adam Pasquale, Anthony Rapp, Jesse Martin, and Wils...

Yelp is something we need to look into further.  We have gotten a few customers from here based on our reviews.  We need to try to get some more reviews and intend to reread this post. Yelp is even better for folks in the real estate industry. I've used Yelp for years, for a personal account and ...

Now this looks like a useful webinar, if you are a real estate agent.  If I was, I'd be watching this.  And, those agents not on AR are missing out on so much wonderful education and sharing. You just landed your next listing - awesome! But this is just the beginning. It's important to think abou...

Pat is so right about this.  We connect best when we see a face.  And, here's another benefit of having a head shot...you get the opportunity of google authorship photo next to your post (which leads to higher click throughs.) Ask an Ambassador: Do I really need my face in my profile shot? As you...

Now, I'm skipping ahead a few decades in my Broadway Review.  This is from the original Broadway cast of Hairspray in 2002.  This is with Marissa Winokur (I believe it was her debut..BTW, she grew up in the town next to mine, so it was in all the papers when she got this role), along with Harvey ...
