I’m Teri…And I’m aghast."},"content":{"rendered":"

Do you know Greg Swann? Yeah well I don’t, but for some reason he chose me to be his apprentice in the Project Blogger competition. He says it was due to my lack of experience in both real estate and blogging (Oh. Um…thanks?) and because I’m game (did he just call me a sucker?). I’m guessing that his intention is that he really truly wants to teach anyone (that would be you) how to do this, “wisely and well” as he says, but I’m just guessing all this because I really don’t know him.<\/p>\n

But that doesn’t matter. Yes, he’s going to teach me, but Project Blogger is really about you. Greg and I have exchanged only a handful of extremely brief emails before starting this, which is great for you as it means we are all starting on the same page here- I’m learning exactly what you will be learning as you learn it. We spoke on the phone for 44 seconds, in which he warned me that he was “ready to post” and that I was going to be aghast, but just between you and me, I’m really not aghast, I’ve never used the word aghast, not that I have anything against aghast, I’m just not an “aghast” kind of girl. I will however, admit to being horrified, terrified, mortified, petrified, thrilled, honored, and excited-beyond-belief!<\/p>\n

But enough about me. Like I said, this is really about you. I’m hoping (okay praying) someone…anyone? who is lurking, will play along with us and together we can build better blogs from the bloody beginning! I actively encourage you to try this at home. Think about it; if I can do this in front of God and everybody- me, in the middle of the Rustbelt, without decades of real estate experience, without a custom built website, without a Crackberry (my cell phone is 3 years old- no pics!) then you sure-as-hell can do this in anonymity, in the comfort of your home, in the booming Sunbelt, in your jammies, sipping your mocha latte (hold the Bailey’s or not) with your experience and whiz-bang gizmos at Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
