The Ann Arbor Area Board of Realtors has scheduled 2 New Blogging & Web 2.0 Continuing Education Classes for February 19, 2009. Here's a snippet from the website promo:
"It seems everyone, from celebrities and athletes to CEOs, heads of nonprofits, and members of Congress have a blog. Some corporations, such as Verizon and Cisco have even successfully used blogs to affect legislative change. Blogs often rank high in search engines, offer better communications, opportunities in relationship building, and media and public relations. Blogs are a low cost way to market yourself, gain insight to your customers, appear authoritative, build, and maintain your reputation."
"Did you know that approximately 51 percent of the blog readers visit product and/or corporate sites because of reading blogs?"

Lola, I think this is a wonderful idea and to earn CE credits for it is fantastic. I just forwarded the link to my local board in hopes that one day we will have classes like this too.
