Definition from webopedia: (n.) Short for Web log, a blog is a Web page that serves as a publicly accessible personal journal for an individual. Typically updated daily, blogs often reflect the personality of the author.
A number of months ago, I tried blogging. I posted a comment on Trulia. The question was “Why is it a good time to buy a house?” I answered with 1) There is a large inventory of homes with many to choose from. 2) Interest rates are low. 3) I don’t remember the third and I can’t look it up because after having my head bit off, I deleted my comment. “That was fun! NOT!!!
So forward to October, when my mentor said, “You need to blog.” Yeah, that was on my list of fun things to do. So, I signed into ActiveRain and posted “Tired of Doom & Gloom!” The response was much better. I received pats on the head and many “Good Job”.
Sometimes a topic just jumps up and says “Blog Me.” Typically, they are topics that you feel passionate about. You are always looking for that type of topic. Sometimes, it’s something that you saw on TV or heard on the radio or read. Then there are the times when nothing says anything to you and you need to rely on statistics or comments on other blogs.
There is a wonderful group of people out there that share your interest in real estate. They support you, critique you (not that I ever needed that), and educate you. You learn so much from other blogs. Hopefully, your blog educates others.
So, go out there and blog!!!
