Blogs - Not Just For Realtors Any more

I am trying to spread the word again.  Blogs are not just for Realtors any more.  There are blogs out there on just about every subject I can think of.  I like to read local blogs, news blogs, technology blogs and photography blogs. I leave comments on them too if I have something to contribute of if I really like the post.

People who are not in the real estate industry read blogs too.

The real estate industry did not invent the blog.  This might be hard to believe but most of the most read and best loved blogs on the planet are not related to real estate at all. This kind of proves that there are a lot of people out there who might not be reading the conversation we seem to be having amongst ourselves on the Internet.  Instead they are reading something interesting.

As for the whole inside outside argument that I have read about on Active Rain, there are far more blogs out side of active rain than there are inside of Active Rain. Can these millions of people who prefer outies be wrong?

Taming the wild weenie

Thought that headline would grab a few people.  The weenie, as others  call this blog cleverly disguised as a hot dog stand is not so wild . . just a little maybe.

Just wanted to write a post as a reminder that the weenie does except guest posts.  It can be therapeutic and give people a chance to say what is on their minds in a place where it may be more appropriate than on their onw blog.  Todd Carpenter has written some wonderful posts on the Weenie.  Dave Smith has written so has Larry Cragun, and Bonnie Erickson too.  If I am missing someone let me know.

Writing on the weenie is easy.  Your post does not have to be funny, it can be drop dead serious.  Personal attacks are not aloud.  In general if the post is truthful, or at least reflects an honest opinion . . . even if your opinion is wrong. :) I am happy to post it.

Next time you want to vent, or just want to have fun, consider the weenie.  Personally I find it therapeutic and we all know how badly I need therapy.  It isn't easy writing the St. Paul Real Estate Blog.  People actually read it so it makes me a little nervous.  If they stopped reading it that would make me nervous too. . . yup therapy is the only answer for me.
