SO, here are my top 5 pics on how you can spice up your blog posts quickly, easily and without much tech savvy. 1. Slide.comSlide.com is a free online slide show creator that allows you to upload photos and automatically create cool slideshows with various transition effects. I created this slideshow in less than 3 minutes. Yes, I timed myself. It then allows you to share the slideshow, upload it to yoru MySpace account or use widget code to post it to your persoanl blog!
Check out how Laurie Manny used this tool on her new real estate blog: Spinnaker Bay Real Estate Side Show 2. CommunityWalk.comThis tool makes it super simple to build interactive custom maps you can embed on your blog. Maps take about less than 6 minutes to build. Check out how Mary pope Handy placed similar community maps on her site. San Jose Real Estate Map
3. The Real Estate DictionaryThis is a cool little widget you can embed in yoru sidebar. It allows you to users to find common real estate terms. I would have embedded it here but it is a purse JavaScript widget whcih we only allow in sidebars as JavaScript in posts can pose a security risk. So, follow the link to see what it looks like. 4. Altos Research Widget See how Alex and Lenore Wilkas of Foster City Real Estate Blog use this widget to give real time market data to their readers. 5. EyeJot.com I love eyejoty- it allows me to record video and audio right through my coputer and post it to my blog or shoot my friends a vmail. It took me less than 1 minute to record and post this video!

Comment from: irina.netchaev [Member] Comment from: Ruth Ann Macklin [Visitor] We can always count on your to show us the latest and greatest! Comment from: Rich Rogala [Visitor] These are fantastic tools. Really helps personalize your blog (or whatever) when you can offer information your clients want. Thanks for the info! Comment from: Teri Isner [Visitor] Love the video idea we have a cyberpro that uses something like this for his monthly video postcard which could as easily be done on his blog too. Great cross posting ideas to try. The video would also be fun to send to customers with a buyer or seller alerts that are personal and informative. Comment from: Faina Sechzer [Visitor] I love the eyejot.com idea. I just need to get a bit more photogenic:) Comment from: kam.hubbard [Member] Comment on this article This post has 5 feedbacks awaiting moderation... |
