Project Blogger -- Week 13 Round Up July 2- 8th

We're almost done folks this is the second to the last week. And while it seemed last week that a number of contestants had hit their stride, this week it looks like there's been some wavering. Some teams are still going strong while others have let their guard down.

We will be conducting audience voting soon. Please remember audience voting counts for 15% of the competition so it could make a big difference here folks.

These are the posts by the apprentices. For more information on the Coaches please Check out Inman's Real Estate Connect Conference Blog.

Update: Judging results for this week will be posted on Monday. This judge is going to take a different tack than the others and focus on some slight different things that I think will help us all. Please Keep blogging everyone the competition is not over yet. And we've still got some great judges lined up!

Where's 'Kevin?'

I was disappointed to see he didn't have anything for this week.

Hi Caleb - there was one post you missed for me here in AR - Condo-Hotel Craze in Miami It's totally different than the one in Miamism with a link and preamble of others to come.

I think Kevin took the week off - some of us are a bit burnt out!

I have been leaving messages for Jackie on her blog and active rain. I was really trying to understand the blogging process, and as the training director for our office, felt I needed to "get it" in order to assist my agents. Jackie and this contest have been GREAT... She has certainly put a lot of effort into her blogs. I will be tracking her results that can be traced back to her blog and hope that she is greatly rewarded for her efforts. Her excitement and enthusiasm have been refreshing and encouraging in this challenging market.

Thanks Ines!

Yes. ARDELL and I know that we aren't going to win---though we didn't give up! I will be making a strong showing this week.

Thanks for noticing!

Caleb - your the one that needs to be thanked.

Hi Caleb,

Boy, I had actually lost track of where we were in this process. Thanks again for all your hard work. This has been a haul but we are nearing the finish line and I am thrilled to have been a part of it all.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Take care, help lots of people and have a wonderful day,

Tisza

Hi Caleb,

Thanks for organizing these again.

I have a question: I thought that the weeks went from Sunday through Saturday? This week you've gone from Monday through Sunday - just wondering. (So I thought my July 8 posts were for the last week. Not that it really matters.)

Nevermind, I am confused - I just looked at the comments on the last few weeks. Not sure why I was mixed up.

Thanks again for organizing it!

Yes, Rich, thanks for noticing LOL.

We were working on the blog. Widened the reading section. Cleaned up the sidebar. Even though the "chart" only notices posts, there's more to creating a great blog than simply writing on it.

We do what we need to do to create a great blog. That "the contest" doesn't recognize those things is not our concern.

Ardell - as you've stated on numerous occasions....the contest is not a destination, or true measure of developing a blog. It's a journey, a process...and success isn't necessarily measured in graph & charts.

.....or in 14 weeks. We are all developing our blog as we go. Heck I've been developing those "featured neighborhoods" with content, tours and links for the past 4 weeks.

I just got back in town and can't see the results for week 13 - can anyone tell me what's going on?

I won!

lol!!! I just found Pat's post you silly!

You missed all the drama! Whew. Classic Project Blogger drama. You know it is always Tisza starting trouble.

I'm glad I did...specially because I did not even place. I tried to follow the e-mail string, but decided to leave it alone - I have too many things to catch up on...Bimini was beautiful.

Leave a response…
