All the dogs are in the kennel at last. When I built BloodhoundBlog last Summer, I set it up as a subdirectory of BloodhoundRealty.com. Had I known where we were headed, I would have bought a separate domain for the weblog. And had I thought that<\/i> far ahead, BloodhoundBlog would have been called something else.<\/p>\n
Why? Because BloodhoundBlog.com was already owned by a software company in Texas. I discovered this when I finally thought to tie down the domains last Fall. I was able to buy BloodhoundBlog.net and BloodhoundBlog.org, but all I could do was back-order BloodhoundBlog.com.<\/p>\n
It’s a problem I’ve been nursing on and off ever since. But as of today, BloodhoundBlog.com is finally ours. Like the two other domains, it is redirecting to the subdirectory I set up in the first place. A small enough thing, I suppose, but most big things are made up of little things.<\/p>\n
And here’s another little thing: As of this week, it’s possible to subscribe to BloodhoundBlog by email<\/a>. It’s not something I’m apt to think of. RSS is too easy, too fast, too wonderful. But if people don’t have access to feed readers, or if they don’t want to use them, they can get email updates when new posts hit the weblog. As it happens, Seth Godin added email subscription the same day we did<\/a>. Great minds think alike? Can’t be. Great minds Think Different<\/a>.<\/p>\n But here’s a big thing: Starting Monday, we’ll be rolling out audio and video podcasts from the Russell Shaw Sales Success Seminars<\/a>. I have five audio and two video podcasts set up for this week, and we’ll do another five of each next week. This is all about building a curriculum for a real estate sales training course in podcast form, so, if you have questions for Russell, don’t be shy<\/a>.<\/p>\n Linked below is a short video segment of me extolling the benefits of real estate weblogging with the help of Jay Thompson<\/a> and Tony Marriott<\/a>.
