Hey all - This was my first attempt at creating a "newsletter style" blog post so please forgive me if it doesn't turn out right. If it does turnout, and all the links and everything work, then I'll do another blog post showing you how I did it.
This could be a great monthly tool to provide to your regular blog readers....
BTW - Hope you'll join us for some of these March webinars, these guests and speakers are truly extraordinary. Thanks. :-)

Brad if anyone can turn out a great Newsletter it is you. Great Directions you are heading to. I like the idea. If we can not make it to the webinar could you record it and we could see it at our convenience?

Brad, I really like the newsletter style blogpost! How did you do it?
Is that your son playing the guitar in the You Tube on your sidebar? He's very good. Shades of Clapton.

Hi Brad - Your newsletter layout is quite nice. However, I find that the graphics with the guests' bios are too small to easily read the text. I realize that you can click on them to read the text on the linked website but many people may not realize it.
I should start attending some of the Zillow seminars. They look quite interesting.

Hi Brad! One of your reps encouraged me to start collecting agent reviews. It's amazing the difference a few reviews can make. I learn something each time I speak to one of your reps. Wish I could say this about every vendor I do business with!

Hannah - thanks, hope you can join us on occasion.
Robert - I'm still in Seattle, probably won't get that post out till next week. It really easy and I see it worked. :-)
Endre - thanks, I do try and record them all. They'll be posted as soon as I find a universal and versatile player.
Vickie - I think posting a monthly update or newsletter on just about any topic would be great for readers. I was going to do a Tech-Sites update but with Jared, Gary, and Stefan coming this month, this one just made more sense. The classes are filling up quickly so I'm glad I went with this one instead.
Maria - I'll share how I did this in a post coming soon, and yes, that is my son over on that video. (proud dad here) Your Clapton comment will make him very happy, thanks.
Marc - I noticed that too, and you are absolutely correct. An improvement I'll work on for the next one. The actual newsletter that was emailed out to 1000 subscribers was full size and much more legible. Hope you'll join the mailing list and join us for some of these great speakers. Thanks.
Doug - we spent a good deal of time talking about reviews in our meeting yesterday too. It really does make a huge difference having those reviews and ratings on your profile. Now you can share them anywhere with the new widget too.

Hey Gary - this is not a Zillow newsletter, it's my own test concoction to see if this would work. This actually was emailed out to ONLY those who have ever attended a ZA webinar, or who subscribed to get a monthly newsletter/update. This was the very first one. Now that I know it can be embedded into a post, I'll be showing everyone how they can do this too. It was a bit challenging at first, but I think I figured out all the secrets now. I'll post it as soon as I get a chance to come up for air! lol~
BTW - Zillow does have a different newsletter that goes out to members too. :-)
@Don - nothing would make me happier sir than to have you join us. You're welcomed anytime.

Leeza - I'll do another youtube class. Still working on these recordings... hosting them and finding a player that is universal and works for everyone is going to be the key. Thanks.
