And I'm going to start off with two that aren't for WordPress, but that I use ALL of the time...
Zemanta - This is one of my "blogging assistants". Zemanta searches for relavent photos for posts, while I am writing them. It is a FireFox plugin, and functions on all of … (7 comments)

website: Get Posterous-ized... - 11/25/09 09:09 PM
Let's get the first part out of the way... It is pronounced pa-stir-us... like in preposterous... which would be "life before Posterous."
Posterous is a blogging site... and if you are playing in social media, you really need to get onto it if you aren't already. In fact, I will be … (11 comments)

website: What about WordPress MU? - 11/24/09 10:49 PM
I was wandering around the control panel for my webhost (I use BlueHost - affiliate link) and noticed that I had 12 blogs I was administering. Don't panic, that includes my wife's websites for her company, as well as a family blog and the blog for my son's Flat Stanley.
But … (9 comments)

website: 'Cuz Brad and Bobby SAID SO... - 11/20/09 07:41 PM
A while back, Brad and/or Bobby Carroll made a VERY valid point about online identity... specifically, having a cohesive design theme throughout your sites.
I've crunched this over for a few months... looking at a few options... and finally started down the path of making several of my sites more complimentary … (8 comments)

website: Edit, Edit, Edit... - 11/14/09 07:24 PM
I'm making some modifications to another one of my websites... This is when it would be really nice to have a staff like the AR folks to design scripts to convert terms and so forth with the theme change.
But the end product will be worth it.
And yes, this … (10 comments)

website: The Blog Post "Circle of Life" - 10/29/09 09:19 PM
It all starts with a consumer... a consumer that needs to know the answer to a question. Maybe they have emailed... or asked during a listing presentation... maybe even just mentioned it at a party.
But at the heart there is a question... and a consumer.
Lane, shouldn't we list with … (3 comments)

website: Do you think THAT is how you can "earn my business"? - 10/29/09 03:09 PM
I had a website company call me today... They wanted me to buy into their system. Since I have two closings in the next two business days, my time might be called a little crunched...
So, I asked for the quick version...
Two hours later we were approaching the "what is … (8 comments)

website: How often do you unplug? - 10/04/09 11:15 PM
My answer would be almost never... and constantly.
A couple of times per year I try to break away from the machines and enjoy a little real off-time. Not much... just a few days here and there. Heck, I've been known to work through issues while waiting my turn on the … (13 comments)

website: 101 Cars I Must Drive... It's a wrap... - 09/27/09 09:52 PM
I just completed a 101 post series. In fact, I wrapped it up just about an hour ago. I have been working on it for almost a year... When I started, I was going to "dribble" the posts at random times, but I figured out after a few weeks that I … (7 comments)

website: Minor Tweaks... For Now... - 09/13/09 11:04 PM
A few days ago I wrote about my overwhelming desire to mess with my blog. I get this from time to time... I just can't help it.
As a hot rodder, I like to tweak things. When my wife sees a nice car, truck or Jeep, I see a platform to … (3 comments)

website: It's that time of year again... Let's Tweak my Blog... - 09/08/09 10:32 PM
I can't help it. Each year, as summer wanes towards fall, I get the itch to mess with my blog. I don't know why... I just can't help it. I like it. I think it is pretty cool, but I just want to mix it up again.
So, because I know … (7 comments)

website: 8 Cool Tools... Avoid Analysis Paralysis... #6 - 08/23/09 10:07 PM
Analysis Paralysis...
If you haven't heard the statement, it is summing up the "Ready, Aim Fire, Aim Fire, Aim" menality. Basically, spending forever making the plan, and then never following through and actually "doing" the plan.
And then...
There is the opposite side of the coin... "Ready, Fire, Aim". That doesn't … (7 comments)

website: RSS... another of the 8 Tools for the Coolest Real Estate Agents... #5 - 08/21/09 09:45 PM
RSS... Really Simple Syndication. Rich Site Summary.
Most of us know what it is... but few are really leveraging it to help create business or simplify our lives...
For those that don't know, RSS is a news feed. Basically, by subscribing to a website's RSS feed, each time the site … (17 comments)

website: 8 Tools #3A "Sweet Embeddable You"... before - 08/17/09 11:34 PM
Ok, so if you have been following along, you have seen that you really need both a self-hosted WordPress blog and an Active|Rain RainMaker blog.
You say, "OK there Skippy, now what?"
Well bunky, you need content... GREAT, compelling, addictive content. And you need to present it in a great, compelling … (6 comments)

website: 8 Tools #3B "Sweet Embeddable You"... after - 08/17/09 11:26 PM
So, just a moment ago I posted the other half of this blog. I worked VERY hard to make it visually unappealing and kind of boring. I did that on purpose. For a purpose.
You see, there are SO many ways to add rich media to your WordPress and Active|Rain posts.

That is right... I took a vacation from blogging. I haven't missed more than a handful of days in two years on my blog at LaneBailey.com. I have pre-written posts, and even post-dated a couple by a few hours.
But the last post I put up on that blog was Sunday. … (8 comments)
