BlogTour USA was in Columbus on Friday. Joe and Rudy talked to a group of some "blog curious" Central Ohio people... mostly real estate agents, many affiliated with Real Living HER.
I was not there for Candace's question during Joe and Rudy's question and answer period. I was sequestered in a work room doing a "live blog." My boss wanted me to write a blog entry in front of the group gathered in Columbus for BlogTour USA but I get so nervous... I could not have typed in front of all those people...
Later in a bar... (Amano's Worthington... I just drank water... really.) Joe and Tom Holcombe (my boss) said Candace Foreman had a question about doing a blog and putting it on her website. Candace Foreman is an agent with Real Living HER's Powell Office. I met Candace at BlogTour USA Friday. Candace is an ActiveRain member!
As I understood it Candace wants to promote her Real Living website and have a blog show up on that website.
I thought Candace (and other Real Living agents) could put a blog on their Real Living website in a couple of ways....
1. Links on a general website page like I do on the Blogs - Real Estate page of my website. I've had this up for a few months on my Real Living website. It's OK.
2. As a link page... I don't like the way link pages work on Real Living websites personally.. but that may be the easiest way to do it. Here's an example of a link page to a website...I linked to my WordPress.org blog ColumbusBestBlog.com on my Real Living website.
WOW ColumbusBestBlog actually looks pretty good there, thanks Candace.. I never would have tried it if not for your question on Friday. OK maybe it does not look good... but it works.
Sunday Cheryl Johnson wrote a blog titled: I Frame, You Frame, We All Frame ..It's Members Only but I am going to quote the html instruction Cheryl shared. I can't resist. Cheryl wrote...
Copy and paste this code into your blog post:
<p align="center"><iframe src="http://www.activerain.com" height="450" width="450" scrolling="yes"></iframe></p>
Cheryl's html would put ActiveRain on your blog or website in an iframe. I don't know html... I just monkey see, moneky do this stuff.
Following Cheryl's directions I put my ActiveRain blog on my Real Living HER website, look.
The html code I am using on my Real Living Website to put my ActiveRain blog on is:
<p align="center"><iframe src="http://www.activerain.com/blogs/columbusOh" height="600" width="600" scrolling="yes"></iframe></p>
Replace the http://www.activerain.com/blogs/columbusOh with your blog's url... You have to kind of play with it. I tried going wider but then my personal photo on AR showed in addition to the photo of me on my Real Living website. One photo of me on my screen at a time is more than enough.... thanks.
Real Living agents for additional help call the Real Living help desk, that is what they are there for.
