Learning to Blog

On Friday , the 15th, our local board, Searcy Board of REALTORS, held a day of technology with Dick Betts. One of the many ideas that Dick presented was blogging. I had heard of it, I had heard of people "doing it". I had even seen it done but I never saw where it would be of any great benefit to us. But after Dick explained it and showed how it helps your web presence, I thought maybe I could "do it" too. I'm not much of a writer but I saw the real value in reading the blogs others have posted here and hope that I might have something worthwhile to say in future posts. So here I am, welcome me on board and look out fellow bloggers.

Just about a year ago, I was starting out to. It's been great for my business and lots of fun, too.

Welcome abroad!

Welcome. You'll do great at blogging just as you do at selling real estate.
