$50?  In this market?  I'd rather spend the time developing my leads, working on my site.

Don't mean to sound critical, but 50 bucks ain't payin' my cell phone or contributing to the college fund.

I thought it was nice to give us something to do.  It pays your point 2 bill for a month, depending on your service.  It's better then nothing for all our comments and posts.

Thanks for the input.

ACtually, apples sound good too.

Ladies ! come on $50x30=$1,500

You can do it, we need to be creative, we need to be able to improve on our profession with great ideas, a cooperative mastermind think tank.

:)

actually, I think it's a great idea. For a lot of us it may be a great new start after being "grounded".  It's not about the money really but about bringing more relevant real estate topics to Relib.

I really find it hard to believe that nearly everything to be said about real estate hasn't been said here already.  If you go through the archives you can find an answer for just about any question you might have.

Bee, speaking of archives. Any time I try to look up something, hardly anything comes up. That's probably why we need to keep repeating ourselves. Plus for some reason, we seem to think that what was posted long time ago isn't as relevant. Doesn't happen to often that an old post comes to life again.

Makes sense.  I can only read "how to hold an open house" about...once.

Bee, I belive that one is mandatory only once :-)

Forget about the bonus! I took one look at the shiny 3-dimensional apple staring at me and plucked it right off the monitor and ate it! Ummmm, even ate the core it was soooooo good! I have a lot of ideas to post but they would be website related and just bounced off RELib to the mesage board so why bother! Foe example, here's a Feedback Request Form that we could run from our sites if they would ever start allowing custom forms in the virtual office setup. It includes questions other than the default settings on Showing Solution feedback forms that you can't actually check any of the boxes, plus I have the property photo hyperlinked to my P2 visual tour in case the showing agent needs to refresh their memory:

Gene I think you have alot of good ideas and you could phrase them to keep them here so they won't get sent to MB. You know, like Bill says, tell a story.

ehm, I never noticed the apple until you pointed it out. It's nice and shiny! I too am still waiting and hoping for eventually having forms available on our sites, not to mention feedback request availability.

Once upon a time................    I create my forms on my AA site and add a lot of extra blank space so the URL at the bottom doesn't show up to most viewers and then insert it into an iPage. It's a shame the amount of leads P2 agents are losing because they can't design a lead generation page within the virtual office and have to go Woo-Fooing around instead.

I like the contest. I'll take a $50 check for writing a blog post any day...

Christina - with the "advanced content" module, there is almost no end to what you can do. For complicated tables, I'll build them in an HTML editor and just copy/paste the code into an advanced content module. It'll take *almost* anything...  It's not as easy to use teh advanced content module, but it allows a lot of flexibility.

Freedom with design? Have you seen some of Suzanne Stephens' sites?

I have a small table creator program that makes it very easy to create tables with different color borders, etc. Like Jay, I create them and then copy and paste the html into P2. Once it's there, it's easy to manipulate since the colors stay in place and all you do is add a row or column. If anybody wants a copy emailed send me a note at Gene @ GeneCarey.com The colored table borders 'within' the P2 tables on my site were created using the simple software.
