The need to UpDate Your Blogs And Keep Information Current, Accurate, And Relevant does not apply to every blog, but in my opinion it should apply to blogs which are about Industry Guidelines and Disclosures. In the Lending Industry, especially over the last few years, Guideline changes have been happening fast and furious. I am not an Agent/Realtor, but I would expect Disclosure changes or additional Disclosures occur from time to time as well. For this reason I feel it is important to revisit blogs we have posted in the past which relate to Guidelines and Disclosures, to make sure they are still accurate, and reflect changes which may have occurred since the original blog was written.
I try to go back on a regular bases to see what blogs I have written in the past which I feel need to be update. Generally I leave the original blog in tact because it was the rule or Guideline in place when I wrote it, but post a new blog which reflect the revision which applies today. Some time the changes are very minor and subtle, but changes never the less. Such is the case with a series of blogs I posted about a year and a half ago on Gift Funds. There have been some very subtle changes since I first wrote those blogs, especially to documentation which I feel need to be updated. I hope to be doing this update some time this week.
Most changes tend to not be so subtle, and are more drastic in nature. Such as the changes which took place three years ago to Foreclosure, and Short Sale waiting periods before a Borrower can once again apply for a Mortgage. That is a series of blogs I hope I have the opportunity to update in the near future with shorter timelines. I make it a practice of going back through blogs regularly, because in all honesty I have forgotten some of the ones I have written in the past.
Another practice I have is to also look at the format of my past blogs to see if they need to be re-written in a clearer and more easy to understand manor. Some times a blog appears to be clear when I first write it, but when I go back a few years or even just a few months later, it is not as clear and understandable as I thought it was when I first wrote it.
I feel strongly about the accuracy of the information we provide, so in an ever changing Industry like Real Estate and Lending, it is important to UpDate Your Blogs And Keep Information Current, Accurate, And Relevent as possible.
