		<description>Thanks Brian, 

This article has definitely been one of the more popular posts I&#039;ve written.  Someone even sent me a newsletter that their broker had put together that used the text of the post exactly! Too funny!</description>

		<description>This article is right on. Thanks for the info. I just started a local real estate blog about 2 weeks ago for my town of Tracy, California which is about 1 hr east of San Francisco. No one has really done it in my area and I am networking with the other blogs in my city..  I am going to read your post about putting up your own re blog. I was wondering about Meta tags and why some blogs have tags at the bottom of the posts. Thanks for the ideas and support.

		<description>[...] My advice? Agents who do not want to get lost in the internet shuffle that is sure to take place in the near future should get involved in internet. But don&#8217;t waste your time posting your marketing materials on-line because people rarely read that stuff when you spend good money to send it to their homes! It seems like a no-brainer to me that agents should start blogging&#8230; But do more than that&#8230; Put interesting and challenging ideas on your blog. Blogging may not be the panacea for the future of real estate agents, (there is a lot more to being a good real estate agent than being an engaging writer), but by blogging to learn more about the internet, you will learn about the trends that are shaping the industry!
