SPRING CLEANING – An Active Rain Challenge

By
Real Estate Agent with TOP SELLING REALTY Lic. # SL3154233

 This challenge has brought some memories on when I joined Active Rain. I’m not a new member but I haven’t been that long either in the AR world. Actually, I started blogging a year ago. Right at the beginning I didn’t know how to post pictures or videos or if my description would help with Google search engine. I didn’t even know that I could set up my signature under settings, I remember typing it every time I had to make a post. Lol – Also, I didn’t know that Active Rain contest existed and not until the end of last year I learned how to insert a link into my blogs. I learned all these tips from my Active Rain friends through their blogs and the Questions & Answers section.

I went back to some of the old post (10) and I did some changes like:

  • Deleted some pictures that weren’t visible anymore and added new ones

  • On some I added property address or zip codes

  • Changed colorful fonts to more standard so it’s easy to read

  • I added links to Sold properties posts

  • I inserted a link into some pictures that redirected to my website

  • Edited the description on some of them to make it Google friendly

  • Checked spelling on all of them

    And last I reviewed my signature and changed the color and added a link to my reviews.

Why you should buy a house this summer

Gulf Access Pool Home - SOLD!!!

Why your house hasn't sold yet? maybe it's the price

Buying still cheaper than renting

Knowing your options will make the mortgage process easier

1100 NW 15TH TER, Cape Coral, FL just SOLD!

Cape Coral's Gulf Access Lot just Sold by Abby Stiller

Remodeled Home just SOLD in Bonita Springs FL

Townhouse SOLD in Fort Myers, FL and it was a great deal

Helping sellers! This Home in Cape Coral, FL is SOLD now!

That's wonderful! And it's a good point that even posts that are only a year old could use cleaning up.

You know, my biggest issue with my old posts are photos/graphics that I had in a service that I no longer use, Abby. All of them are big boxes and it looks horrible! I try to delete them every time I find one but, it could take years to go back and change them all! LOL

Thanks for participating and hopefully it will bring you some consumer calls too!

Great job, Abby!   I also have broken links.   Photobucket is now a pay-only website, all those links on my pages are dead.   And many of my YouTube video links go nowhere.   I have work to do!

Abby, Not an easy job that's for sure. I still have a lot more to do. I find spring cleaning our blog posts is harder and more time-consuming than cleaning our house :)

Abby, I remember when I kept wondering "how did people's signatures and graphics appear so beautiful after their blogs?!" Then I eralized there was a question section ... It is fun how we discover all the functionality of the platform. I enjoyed reading your post.
