Catchy opening line...  " Everyone bare with me ..."

Hi Jesse:  My first suggestion would be to post a picture of yourself.  We all like to put a face with the words! 

Don't worry about what to blog...just start writing.  It will fall in place eventually.  Write about what you want to talk about.  The audience will come later. 

good luck...you will find plenty of ideas on ActiveRain on what to write, how to write...but it all comes down to just writing. 

The first thing I would suggest writing would be a good Biography about you for your profile page. (and of course a picture) 

It is better to write something than leave a blog stagnant.  For the best Search Engine Optimization (SEO) according to the book mentioned above it is important to try to maintain an active blog.  This is something I have failed to do so in the past.  When you look at other blogs on Active Rain you see people posting regularly.  This is not done by accident...  I need to get into the habit of posting and not just fluff.  Bill please give me a break here...

 

Carol thank you for your suggestion.  I am working on doing that in the near future for both Active Rain  and on Ardor's website.  A picture and a bio looks a lot more professional.

Bob... s I was writting the above you beat me to the comment post :) 

I agree on the picture thing. Also, why is your font so teeny tiny? It's hard for old folks like me to read LOL!

I would say to fill out your About Me section... give readers some glimpse of the man behind the blog.  Also it looks like you deal primarily in rentals (from your website link anyway).  Blog about topics relevant to rentals.  Posts don't have to specifically be rental listings, but about deposits, finding the right rental, application process, move in/move out, specifics on buildings, etc.  Anything and everything real estate will help.  If you can think of a real estate related topic, then blog your little heart out about it.  Even non real estate related posts, such as exhibits, community evens, etc are great.

I second Colleen's comment above... the print is waaaay too tiny for me to easily read. 

Jesse - do you subscribe to RSS Pieces? They will teach you everything you ever wanted to know about real estate blogging.  Just start with the current blog and work your way back.  

And welcome to the NY group! 

Coming back often to check on your comments also helps build relationships with others across the rain....

We're just hanging around... 

One Adam twelve  - One Adam twelve...we have an APB out on a one Jesse Frank. Missing was last seen writing a blog about what to blog.  Multiple agent have attempted to contact same with negative results be on the look out for one gray individual with short hair, no noticeable marks or identifiable items...just a gray shadow.

Carnac is observing.

I am not just hanging around.  I am trapped in a 5'4" mason jar on a shelf.  I get let out only for bathroom breaks and to work weekends in a Chinese bakery.  I'm in charge of the "lucky numbers" on a fortune cookie near you.  Yeah, that's me.  I'll be autographing fortunes in Washington DC May 14-16.
