One of the wonderful things about participating here on ActiveRain is learning...

and here I learned about The Real Estate Tomato .... 

Well over a year ago one of the blogs I regularly read and subscribed to was The Real Estate Tomato because of all the wonderful and helpful tips on blogging and SEO.  I decided early on that someday I would have them "do" a custom blog site for me.  Occasionally I would leave comments on the RET blog (not just the ActiveRain one) and let them know that someday...I would have a "Tomato Blog".  

Interestingly enough with all the recent blogging here on ActiveRain about using videos on blogs and the Flip Video I got into a discussion last November on The Real Estate Tomato after their post: "What Is The Future Of The Real Estate Blog?" because I was not convinced, and Jim's comments made me rethink my opinion....  I bought my Flip Video last Monday!  

Well, this week everything finally aligned and I called Jim Cronin of The Real Estate Tomato on Tuesday, we talked and Jim set the Tomato Team in motion!  This morning was my first design meeting...now I have some more "homework" to work on this weekend to find more elements to include on my new blog site...

I am so excited!
