realbird: How to post your RealBird widget to ActiveRain using the new editor
- 11/13/13 06:27 AM
We received several support calls from ActiveRain users asking why their RealBird widget code produces mis-formatted images in AR blog posts. The correct way to post the widget HTML codes into a blog is to use the HTML mode of the new AR editor. You will need to click the in the AR toolbar for this, and then paste the RealBird code in there. You can add any other text to pre- or post-face the widget.
Let us know please if you encounter any problems with it.

realbird: How to create a PDF flyer from your RealBird property website
- 02/03/12 09:47 AM
Did you know? The new RealBird property website's printable page can be easily converted to PDF.
All of the browsers on Apple OSX supports "printing" to PDF instead of a physical printer and on Windows, the Google Chrome browser has built-in support for the same. For Windows users, we suggest to download Google Chrome, it takes only a minute or so to set it up and you can still use IE for your MLS etc. should you need that.
So let's see how this can be accomplished:
