We’re about to talk about writing, so let me remind you that I wrote a post on how to write a Black Pearl Diver’s contest entry that advances your interests — and that one post is […]

I never know what other people don’t see. Cathleen didn’t know that BloodhoundBlog and DistinctivePhoenix.com are based on the same WordPress template. Likewise for Real Estate Weblogging 101 and The Phoenix Real Estate Technology Exchange. She could see the differences, but not the similarities, not until I noodged her to look for them. Yesterday, I […]
I know I promised to do nothing but “includes,” and we’ll come back to those soon, but here is a real PHP routine, doing an actual real world job. What does it do? For a multi-author weblog like BloodhoundBlog, it produces a blogroll of the contributors’ weblogs or web sites. I’m sending this out to […]
The deafening clamor in my mailbox suggests that almost nobody is interested in what I have to say about using PHP to automate weblog and web site content creation. That’s actually a good sign, in the sense that automated web site creation is one of the key tools we use against our competition in the […]
Here’s a comment that got deleted earlier tonight, a pearl of wisdom issued from one orifice or another by a less-than-brilliant pundit who chose to keep his or her identity concealed. The soul and substance of this partial portion of wit: this is easily the worst blog on the RE.net Todd Seavey wrote a brilliant […]
Let’s get dynamic, shall we? There are a lot of things you can say about PHP — and some of them are even safe for work. But, at bottom, PHP is a working stiff’s programming language for producing dynamic web pages. What’s a dynamic web page? It’s a page that reflects a user’s actions or […]
In the coming days, I plan to take up the idea of PHP for non-programmers, helping you tap the power of PHP’s dynamic text processing without learning (much) actual coding. The problem is that illustrating HTML or PHP in WordPress is always a problem. Why? Because WordPress eats code for breakfast. Properly-formatted coding looks to […]
My father manufactures mens’ outerwear — overcoats, raincoats, jackets. He was with Windbreaker and London Fog for many years, but for the last couple of decades he’s been a private-label vendor: He supplies the goods, the designer or department store supplies its label. One year Consumer Reports reviewed mens’ raincoats and my dad took first, […]
I have a tough time with major holidays like Easter. Say the Mass, do the eggs and candy with the kids, choke down some desiccated ham — then what? It would be a relief to run to the net to read, but, of course, everyone else is doing the same damn things — some more […]
I’ve been building web pages and web sites for clients since I started as a Realtor. In the dark days of the early millennium, email services — especially AOL’s — were unreliable. Plus which, who wants to receive four megabytes of photos by email? And while building a one-off web site to show off houses […]
This is from a comment by Jeff Brown, responding to an earlier post. I’m only showing a snippet here, but Jeff’s ideas are worth apprehending in full and pondering at length. Once and for all, the money paid for representing a buyer OR a seller is based upon only one factor: The ultimate value perceived […]
More from Seth Godin offers 56 tips on how to get traffic for your weblog. Here is tip number thirty-eight: Write about blogging. This may well be the most self-referential medium in the history of media. That’s okay. Discursive prose is how we think orderly thoughts, and writing about weblogging is how we get better […]
Sellsius° has a big bag of how-to’s but I’m from Missouri. I like how-to articles that tell exactly how to do something. One from me: How to make fast, flexible web pages. This is Realtor 2.0 stuff: Full-service Realtors who plan to compete need to learn how to punch out lots and lots of new […]
Coming back to this, I wanted to spend a few minutes on photo composition techniques. That’s almost absurd: Who doesn’t know how to take a picture? Almost everybody, it turns out. We’re not talking about Ansel Adams levels of perfection, we’re talking about taking real estate photos that sell the property but don’t require a […]
