Annoying Comment Queue Issue

photo Morgan Carey

Right now when someone posts a comment and they are not an REW blog member that comment is put into a queue and we have to manually accept deny or edit each comment. When you get a lot of comments, especially if they are spam, this can be annoying.

What do we need to do? Have a checkbox system so you can go through and check all your accepts, all your deny's or accept or delete all. Basic stuff.

Michael, lets work on this for next week Read Full Post

Preview Naples New Design And IDX

photo Morgan Carey

One of my favorite new designs of late is http://www.previewnaples.com. I am not sure exactly why I like it so much compared to the hundreds of other websites we have launched this quarter, I just like it.

The color scheme really says Naples Florida to me, and the way the IDX quick search, listings and details pages are laid out really appeal to me. The communities map is pretty cool, but I think we should stylize those circles a little bit for the communities.

For those interested this project is a full REW custom, with custom search engine frienly IDX and property mapping. (ticket price typically between $7,500-$15,000) depending on complexity and technical requirements. Read Full Post

Forum Designs I Like

photo Morgan Carey

We are redesigning the REW forum, skin located at http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/forum.php?s=&styleid=13 and I am looking for inspiration - where am I looking? Other forums of course

There are a lot of vbulletin hacks etc that have come out since the inception of the REW forum and we really need to upgrade.

Here are a few forums that inspire me and why.

http://www.daniweb.com - IMO the best tech forum in the world. Dani and I are great friends and I can honestly say she is most skilled vbulletin user I have ever met. What do I like about her forum?

Sections: Syndication is a great idea, have your RSS feeds right out there for others to grab and distribute. -  Quickstats right in the nav, that is pretty cool, not a new idea, but something… Read Full Post

For those members looking for more information about the use of the member mark REALTOR in their domain name please read the following article:

First what is a member mark?
A membership mark is much like a "Trademark" however it differs in the sense that a group or affiliation holds said trademark as opposed to an individual or corporation. The term "REALTOR" (Also displayed below) is a membership mark held by the "National Association of Realtors NAR

Layout I Like In Terms Of Pages

I really like the way this page is layed out - http://dev95.rewdev.com/company/ I am viewing it on my laptop and the placement seems really sharp.

I really like how the contact box is pushed down by the element containing our office picture. In fact I like the pics of the staff to, I think that sort of thing would be good for testimonials or case studies pages. Take pics of the clients and format them so that they are clickable for testimonials or something. Read Full Post

Still No Photos For The Featured Listings

photo Morgan Carey

Although the basic backend seems to be working for the listings feature of the REW blogs there is still no app for uploading images for the listings from your computer.

I am thinking I am going to use a flash slideshow for these listings so that it jazzes up the pages a little more, also we need to integrate the mortgage calculator, map of property and enquire functions directly into the system - finally we have to dynmically attach the enquire forms to the listings so that it populates a "Please send me information on property xyz" and sends to the email address on file for the blog user.

Users make sure you sign up with an email address that you check often. Read Full Post
