dog's bollocks

As they say in England I feel like the dog's bollock's today! (translation= I feel very important, like I'm on top of the world......)

A few hours after I submitted my Staging 2.0 Blog to ActiveRain I was contacted via e-mail by Frances Flynn Thorsen, the managing editor of RealTown.com, a real estate portal. She said that she enjoyed blog and wanted to tweak it into an article to showcase it on the RealTown site along with a photo, byline and link. I immediately e-mailed back saying that I'd be thrilled! How cool is that?! But then I didn't hear anything back and I assumed that I had been passed over. Well, I e-mailed Frances today and she linked me to the article which had been published pretty much immediately after we 'talked' last week.

So here is a link to the RealTown article Staging 2.0: Take Your Business to the Next Level.

I have broken out of ActiveRain and launched into the world wide web :) I am so honored and excited.

In addition Kristal Kraft has asked me be a guest on her very cool Denver Real Estate and Relocation blog. It might be a while though, I'm working hard at a blog that will do justice to her illustrious site!

Jessica,

Good Job !

Wish the best

Thanks very much!

Wonderful job Jessica! Congratulations.

One way to keep on top of things is set up Google alerts for your name, your blogs name, etc. I did not do it until real recently but I think someone here did a blog about just that. Or mentioned it in comments. Broker Bryant?

Notoriety for your staging and blogging efforts are welcome news.

Thanks for the tip Maureen! I noticed your Discover Columbus blog was featured on RealTown blogs! I love the new name, very clever!!!

That's great Jessica! Congrats on the realtown article and being invited to Kristal's site. It's always nice to hear that a AR member is reaping good stuff.

Hi Jessica,

I've never heard anyone say they've felt like dog's bollocks when I've been in England. Will that increase my street cred if I use it next I'm in the UK?

Well done you! I think this qualifies you as a blog goddess.

Thanks John, I worked very hard on that blog, it took forever to insert all the links.

Kristal~ I hope you don't mind me bragging :blush: Are you gonna interview me? Does that mean I'm off the hook finding content for a post?? BTW, I STILL have a mop that looks like that!

Hey Jess, what a great article. Good luck with your new found fame...you mentioned that you give a little signature token gift to your clients, what is it?? I have been racking my brains out over this one and have not been able to come up with anything creative just yet.

Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks
