blogging: Do you have full control of your WordPress real estate website?
- 10/10/17 08:57 AM
I was reading posts in the Lab Coat Agents Facebook group and came across a discussion about real estate website designers. One company had mentioned their sites were WordPress which is a good thing. So, if I buy their website, and if I was already familiar with WordPress, then I would assume the dashboard would be a typical WP dashboard and I would have full Admin access. You would think so, right? With that said, on many occasions when we have replaced websites built on the WP platform, we will transfer their entire blogging history with images, publish dates and the previously … (57 comments)
blogging: Trulia Listings Showing up in Google News Alerts

I have a good friend who decided on a new career path 4 years ago at the age of 63. He went into a specific legal support vocation. He was at a slight disadvantage online. He had no Internet history. Being a self employed contractor, he was essentially a start-up business in a very competitive field. To help jump start his online presence, I built him a new website in WordPress. I set up his business social network. I placed him in 50 online business directories. I taught him how to blog. My friend had a blogging advantage. Three masters degrees. Many years working for the government. He … (28 comments)
