I had the idea of building this last night, cataloging the BloodhoundBlog posts on the subject. Lani had a better idea<\/a>, so I appropriated it. Attached below is a fairly comprehensive list of posts, both for and against, on the idea of divorced commissions.<\/p>\n

I think this is the most important idea we’ve addressed, here and on the RE.net at large, so I wanted to build something that could grow with the debate.<\/p>\n

Grow how? Two ways.<\/p>\n

First, you can add your own or other people’s posts or articles to the catalog by filling out the form at this link<\/a>. I want for this to be as comprehensive as possible, so do please let me know what I’ve missed.<\/p>\n

Second, you can append this list to any future (or past) posts on the subject by using this PHP code:<\/p>\n

<?PHP
\ninclude ("http:\/\/www.bloodhoundrealty.com\/BloodhoundBlog\/DCFile.php");
\n?><\/p>\n

In WordPress, you’ll need to use the runPHP plug-in<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How does it work? Watch and see:<\/p>\n

< ?PHP include (\"http:\/\/www.bloodhoundrealty.com\/BloodhoundBlog\/DCFile.php\"); ?>
\n<\/p>\n
