6 Real Estate Blogosphere Reads
An integral part of the successful blogging endeavor is Participation. Get out there, into the blogosphere and read. Read and write comments. Learn and teach. Participate.
Do as I say, not as I do:
The time I have to read is ever waining as I hang from ship's wheel that is the Tomato. It pains me to see my RSS newsreader (Bloglines) grow with unread blog articles. I wonder if my favorite bloggers can tell I haven't been by to visit their baby... Every day the task of consuming the lot grows more and more unattainable. I know that I am going to just have to accept that the past is gone and try to be a better reader in the future. But the thought of all the lost opportunities to learn from the gang keeps me from clicking "mark all as read."
The guilt finally dragged me in to make a 'few rounds' and in my haste I could only do what one might call "cherry picking." I was not disappointed. Hello old friend. Here are 6 articles from my walk through RSS lane that kept me whistling all the way.

Reading blogs is essential for a blogger such as your self. Comments are important too. I can't remember seeing any of yours our there is cyberspace. You could add value to what others write.

Right you are Teresa. Commenting is very useful. 1. It gives you an opportunity to add to the discussion that is the blog. 2. It can create traffic back to your site from the link in the comments. 3. The link back to your site is also recognized in the SE's as a positive backlink, improving the SEO of your site.

That day, when I recommended the 6 articles, I was just trying to have a peek into the blogosphere that I had been neglecting because of the workload I have created for myslef. However, I did leave one well organized comment on Mike's Corner's Blog: http://www.mlpodcast.com/blog/2006/10/best-consumer-real-estate-sites.html
Thanks for keeping tabs on me.
