Here's an idea:  If you have a VFlyer account, did you know you can turn your VFlyer gallery into an RSS feed?

From the VFlyer Flyer tab, click View Account Profile

That will take you to screen displaying a gallery view of all your active listings.  Select and Copy the URL (web address). (It will look something like this http://www.vflyer.com/home/Listing.jsp?acctId=1077084 --that's the gallery view for Above The Rainbow Jewelry, one of my pro bono** web site clients :-)  )

Go to FeedBurner and paste that URL into Feedburner's "Burn a feed right this instant" box.

Click through Feedburner's steps, then copy FeedBurner's newly assigned feed address.  It will look something like this:  http://feeds.feedburner.com/AbovetherainbowsListings

Using a plugin such as FeedWordPress or WP-o-Matic, you can plug that feed into an existing WordPress blog.  Then each time you add a new listing to your VFLyer account, a post with a link to the VFlyer will automatically show up in your WordPress blog.

(P.S. Now that I've updated FeedWordPress to the 2009.0618 version, I've returned to using it over WP-o-Matic.  WP-o-Matic wasn't displaying embedded videos...)

**  I've been helping Lilian get started with an online presence for her jewelry-making.  What I've learned about product photography, building an etsy shop, etc., etc., has been more valuable than charging her money.  :-)  )

Neat electronic trick and very useful. Thank you for sharing this information. I had no idea... I am going to have to start working the tools more efficiently. I've been slowing down a bit. Need to get more done. :-)

Caution: CAT BLOG AHEAD

Including random thoughts on life, art, business, stuff, and occasionally Real Estate.

What is a CAT BLOG?

According to Seth Godin: "Cat blogs are for, by, and about the person blogging. A cat blog is about your cat and your dating travails and your boss and whatever else you feel like sharing in your public diary." Well, I am the boss, my dating years are behind me, but I do love my cats.

Enjoy!
