Okay, start here<\/a>. I had an idea for an organic method of collecting arguments, pro and con, about divorcing real estate commissions<\/a>. Using a PHP form, I could collect user-submitted links to apposite articles, then show them all in an “included” PHP file in each post about divorced commissions. That PHP file would be available to be included on other sites, as well, although I don’t think anyone has done this.<\/p>\n

I’ve manually built this kind of file before, for ongoing news stories and for breaking news stories we cover in multiple posts. The difference here was eliciting contributions from readers in a semi-automated fashion.<\/p>\n

Last night in a comment, Barrett Niehus of 4MySales – Real Estate Investment and Marketing<\/a> commended me for having added a Wiki to BloodhoundBlog.<\/p>\n

Except I hadn’t done that. I wasn’t even sure what Barrett was talking about. By email, I asked for clarification, and this was his response:<\/p>\n

The Wiki comment just relates to the Bloodhound’s ability to add posted links from your online form to the list that you are creating on your blog post. For your readers (me included) this adds another way for them to participate in your blog. I think it is a great feature that few other bloggers use which makes your blog even more unique.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For a one-off post, it made a certain kind of sense. But imagine the same idea expressed globally, for every<\/i> post. Now that’s an insanely great idea.<\/p>\n

I planted a seed, really just a way of seeking something like permanence in the evanescent world of weblog posts. Barrett saw more than I did, a little bit of that Web 2.0-ishness, and his email led me back to see a tiny sprout springing up from the earth. Tonight I’ve nurtured it into a little sapling. I honestly don’t know if people will use something like this, but it seems to me to be a fantastic way to make BloodhoundBlog’s posts more comprehensive and informative.<\/p>\n

What am I talking about? New code that will permit you to amend any post on BHB with supplemental links. If you look at Lani’s post from earlier <\/a>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
