Inman TV - Time to face my worst fear. sniff, sniff YIKES! - 06/29/07 11:34 AM
OK, today is a first.
I've turned down every offer to have a camera in my face to date...even 60 minutes.

Brad Carroll posted this screen shot showing Kev's blog & my house - 06/28/07 12:09 AM
Total coincidence, but Kevin's blog is the same color theme as my home!
I had no input when they added the green, except that I didn't like the previous red color. And look at that!!
Up in the banner are three photos from my home and Kevin's Blog matches my home decor.

At 6:38 a.m. I sat at my computer with one eye open and my first coffee of the day and found a heads up from Teresa Boardman about a post she wrote titled Ode to Ardell. My first thought was, isn't there already a post with that name? My second thought … (17 comments)

I gave Kevin the green light to hook up his blog to his website yesterday. But first we need to decide about the red type.

Got VOICE? Does your Blog SAY something worth talking about? - 06/24/07 03:47 PM
To start the ball rolling, I wrote a "BlogVoice" post yesterday. A BlogVoice post will garner more and deeper information on the topic at hand, in the comments. You don't have to include everything there is to say about the topic in the article itself. In fact, if you cover everything, … (40 comments)

Getting Houses Ready For Market - Off with the Wallpaper! - 06/17/07 12:12 PM
I'm spending an inordinate amount of time getting a property ready for market in Edmonds. Sometimes it is hard to make that decision to remove the wallpaper, but we will NOT paint over it. That makes it SO much harder for the next owner to remove.
Yesterday all of the walls were … (17 comments)

Closing Tomorrow - Signed Yesterday and Today - 06/12/07 11:03 AM
No matter how often I say it and write about it, seems people's minds get stuck at Closing Day = Signing Day, which on the West Coast is not the case.

Providing a bit of Transparency in your Blogging - 06/03/07 07:08 PM
There is a misconception in the Blogosphere that "Transparency" means "Airing Dirty Laundry". Airing a little dirty laundry now and again, is more about Credibility than Transparency. When you acknowledge that everything is not always perfect, you become more credible.
Transparency is a completely different topic. Transparency involves that gray area that … (35 comments)
