It is indeed a sunny day for many real estate professionals. ActiveRain, the leading social networking and blogging service for real estate professionals, now allows you to embed widgets directly into your blog posts! Matt Heaton, President and CEO of ActiveRain, told me yesterday that their new release (which came out today) would indeed support multimedia. This morning I was able to embed a vFlyer Commerce Widget on our ActiveRain blog (Example)!

Note: ActiveRain users - Please follow the instructions as there is small kink in the process that will be ironed out in this evenings release!

I think I am still confused about what a widget is or does. I clicked on someone's above and nothing happened. I clicked on another and got a new (very tiny) window only.

I foolishly uploaded IE 7.0 a few weeks ago and my internet experience is messed up. So I presume it's a problem with my computer....

Wonder if the Top Producer 7i Market Snapshot widget can be embedded in Active Rain? Will have to put that on the short list of things to attempt.

Yikes is right, something else to learn? I am co-dependent on my web guy as it is!! I would have thought he'd have shot me by now. As soon as I can set the time on my VCR, I'm going to learn all about Widgets!

thanks for pointing out -- I have to try adding these widgets to my system but really pay more attention to the content, posting content and responding to content rather than look at the widgets to the right

How long have you been working with widgets? For relative newbies looking to get their blogs looking professional like many of the high pointed Active Rainers, I thank you for the information.

Hi Karen - we've offered widgets to vFlyer users since shortly before this post was written - February 2007. Since then, we've released a number of new widget styles. Thanks for reading and let us know if you have any questions.
