Not to blow my own horn Dave Parker but, . . . . . YOU ASKED FOR IT !
Come on over to my "Virginia Mortgage Blog" and see what you think. Perhaps even "follow" me as an example of a lender's page. Am I the end all, be all ? I doubt it seriously but at least you can get a feel for MY style; good, bad or indifferent.
In California, perhaps you should "follow" John Meussner, one of my favorites, who is in your state. There's also Gene Mundt in Chicago, Joe Petrowsky and George Soutos in Connecticut or Joseph Metzler in Minnesota; all of whom I respect and "follow" personally.

Welcome to ActiveRain, Dave!
Jeff Dowler CRS lists some great lender bloggers in his answer. Most of those lenders are people that you could pick up the phone and call, or email them. They would be glad to point you in the right direction.

Dave ..
I wrote a personal note, but will respond here as well. First, "Welcome" to AR! You made a great choice when you decided to join. You'll find that you learn and gain far more than you ever dreamed of here.
As far as "templates" or blue prints for LO blogs, I don't know of any specific to our arm of the industry. My best suggestion is to read read read ... not only the Lenders here on AR, but the other professionals too. You'll soak up some great ideas, tips, and find the path to blogging that fits you best.
Should you have questions or be in need in any other way, feel free to reach out to me personally. You'll also find that many of the best bloggers here on the Rain are also the most gracious and helpful. Don't hesitate to ask your questions or pick up a phone.
Best of luck to you ...
Gene

Thanks to everyone else that mentioned me, y'all making me blush!

Good morning Dave. I have a very simple blue print. I write about real life situations in my mortgage practice, other than humor I share.

Hi Dave, the one's I've seen in the past have been regarding TRID, new programs, rates, lending facts we may not know about, going in depth into certain types of loans (VA, FHA, etc.).

AR has some wonderful and very helpful members that are lenders. Contact some of them and ask for advice. For now just get started and write about you and what you do. Do you have some great stories to share. Joe Petrowsky is a great story teller when it comes to his business.
