project blogger: Project Blogger - A Year Later - Where Do We Stand Now? - 04/05/08 12:05 AM
A year ago, about a dozen of us Project Blogger Apprentices were typing our fingers off in a fast paced, intense, super-scrutinized contest. We were all working hard and were more than a little stressed.

Months ago, I told my real estate coach, Joeann Fossland, that I really wanted to learn how to blog effectively for real estate. As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for! Seriously, I could not be happier. By hook and by crook, Joeann introduced me to Frances Flynn Thorsen. … (16 comments)

Today's the final day of the Project Blogger Contest, so a lot of the apprentices (and some of the mentors) are looking for some kind of closure as they wind down the efforts that will "count" in the competition. This is not goodbye! For most of us apprentices, it's more like … (11 comments)

When Frances Flynn Thorsen and I first connected about Project Blogger, she asked me if I wouldn't like to do a blog on Haunted Real Estate since I already had a web page devoted to that topic. I really wasn't ready to do that - I just collected the stories. "How … (8 comments)

project blogger: Active Rain Featured Posts: How To Write Them, Why You Might Care! - 06/19/07 01:10 AM
As an apprentice in the Project Blogger competiton, I feel like I've been through a serious "immersion program" with blogging.

project blogger: Project Blogger Week 7 Summary - 05/27/07 08:12 PM
This was a challenging week as I was both out of town and sick for much of it (I am almost well...). But since I managed to pre-write daily posts before the Boston trip, at least my main blog, Live in Los Gatos (http://liveinlosgatos.realtownblogs.com/), got populated daily. That makes it a successful … (1 comments)
