After a very brief stint on Wordpress, "Mr. Gotham's World" has moved to Active Rain thanks to Mr. Joel Kruse, resident Active Rain Guru and customer service wizard.
Having spent countless hours, days and weeks searching for the "right" tool to help this blog thrive, I thought I would never quite find what I was looking for. Spending an enormous amount of time and money to maintain the site was about as appealing as showing a client 150 homes, in 100+ degree heat, while driving and H1 Hummer without A/C as gas prices hover around $7 a gallon.
Adding insult to injury, my lack of HTML knowledge and CSS coding skill presented such an extraordinary barrier, it interfered with the very profession I blog about. As much as I love to write, I'm a Realtor first! Active Rain presented the easiest, most comprehensive solution to my time (or lack of time) problem. Now, instead of worrying about fonts, layouts and search engine optimization, I can focus on finding interesting things to write about. And, I am able to continue working toward becoming Overland Park's most tech savvy, efficient and attentive Realtor, which is what I was doing before I became a "blogger."
While there are still a few bugs to be squashed and a few minor tweaks to be made, I feel as if a thousand pound weight has been lifted from my overworked, aching shoulders. I'm being ABSOLUTELY serious!
The moment I got off the phone with Joel, my posture improved and each step became lighter. Before, I was so preoccupied with my blog's snail-like progress, that it affected all aspects of my life. Now that I'm relatively "footloose and fancy-free" I look forward to the feedback, encouragement and criticism from my Active Rain family.
