It's been a slow week for Second Chance nominations.  I hope it's because you all are busy helping clients.  Here's what I have for you.

How To create REALTOR® with the registered symbol® using Windows Alt Codes

I see so much misuse of the term REALTOR® in blog posts.  So, I went into the archives and pulled up this one.  It shares some other useful alt codes too.

Good morning Carol.  Another lost week as I only read one.  On the other hand, our agents had a very productive week.  Lots of homes going under contract.  Love it, just love it

Carol if I may suggest you need to be more pro active with commenting on everyone's post and then you might get to the coveted "Featured Post" that way your second chance posts will get Featured and more people see it... right now only your sphere of influence sees it... but what do I know, Endre

Hi Endre Barath, Jr. ,  Thank you for the suggestion to be more proactive.  My lack of commenting is not an oversight.  I travel quite a bit and am rarely available on the weekend and do not take my computer with me.  I find AR cumbersome to navigate on a smartphone.   I also play a lot of golf this time of year during the week.   have had several of the Second Chance Saturday posts Featured but it is hit and miss.  I am quite active on Active Rain and do the best I can to contribute in my current "retirement" mode.   Thanks again for reading and commenting.  I do appreciate the thoughtful gesture.
