Here’s a redemptive exercise for a Sunday morning: If you have a real estate weblog, update your blogroll. Otherwise, make some necessary changes to your favorites menu. Three key players have made some changes that require corresponding changes from you.
Kevin Boer, who was “In the Trenches” has migrated to a brand new, very blue WordPress weblog called Three Oceans Real Estate.
Daniel Rothamel, formerly of the “Charlottesville Area Real Estate Blog,” is by now eradicating the notion of moral grayness as The Real Estate Zebra.
And Jay Thompson, “The Phoenix Real Estate Guy,” has become… The Phoenix Real Estate Guy. HUH…? Jay moved from a sub-domain on his real estate web site to a dedicated domain.
Now, of course, every devout weblogger is going to make these changes this morning. Non-weblogging readers are going to update their favorites menu. And everyone is going to put a dollar in the poorbox.
However: The lord helps those who help themselves.
Good luck in your new homes, gentlemen! You’re all looking great…

Jay Thompson says:
Thanks for the mention Greg. Just to clarify (and not that it really matters) I didn’t move from a subdomain on my web site to a dedicated domain. I moved from one dedicated domain to another.
I *wish* I could be on a subdomain, I think that’s the best way to “cross promote” site & blog. Alas, my site provider won’t support it.
So I changed from one real estateish sounding domain to another–one that fits my blogs name.
And I 301 redirected the old to the new. I would be great if people could make the appropriate changes, but they can still find me if they don’t.
Gotta put in a plug for GoDaddy on this one. They said they’d provide a painless switchover, and they did.

Thanks for the plug Greg. Still working out the kinks of the switch, but in a few months, all will be forgotten.
