Spoken Gently's Blog: For Fun

Happy Easter everyone. Consider the true meaning of Easter today. A YouTube Easter music video for you.  Again, may you have a wonder full Easter day! 

Are you too busy to read the real estate article you just stumbled upon but want to read? Recently, I found Instapaper, a service that allows you to click "Read Later" and when convenient, read later! In a nutshell, once installed, a button appears on your internet browser toolbar. When surfing the web, simply click the button and links to articles you have noted will be available for further reading at Instapaper's website. Essentially, a "favorites" type of utility, but for articles only. I've found this service useful, as I often find non-relevant real estate related articles that I want to read, but are too busy, and/or too focused on the task at hand to read now!  Check it out: Register

We received an inquiry on a possible listing. The owner lives in the top floor and we're not sure whether to list this property as a multi-family, or what. Of course, not sure where to begin with disclosure statements either.

. Suggestions would be welcome and appreciated.

I stumbled across an article on ranking a blog in Google in 30 days. I'm not sure about the 30 days part, but as I read the article I realized the author had some great points for us as real estate bloggers. Whether you are an experienced blogger or a wannabe blogger, this article has something for everyone. The article has 50 points to consider, so it'll keep ya busy!

Before getting started on the ranking your blog article, here's some fun. These Squidoo lenses have nothing to do with real estate (except giving you a much needed break), but they are very funny. Each lens will only take a few minutes of your time. Enjoy!

Hairspray, Yakima Capitol Theatre and Tri Cities Washington Toyota Center | Looking for something to do this weekend? Consider viewing a performance of Hairspray. KNDO writes:

It's time to let your hair down at dance the night away at the Hairspray musical. Be swept away to 1960s Baltimore in this smash hit musical, piled bouffant-high with laughter and romance - and enough deliriously tuneful songs to fill a nonstop platter party. Hairspray will be performed at The Capitol Theatre, in Yakima, WA. The event takes place on February 23, 2008 at 2:00 PM and 7:30 PM.

The musical also has a showing at Kennewick's Toyota Center, Sunday, February 24th at 7:00pm. From the Toyota Center website:

Happy Valentines Day Colleen! You may not win the Greatest Real Estate Agent In The World contest, but you are certainly the apple in my eye! Actually, you are the Greatest In The World period! I guess that puts us officially in the competition. Not sure we'll win, as I can see all sorts of time, money, and effort put into this thing by a lot of folks.

I suspect the person that wins the contest will be the person willing to work the hardest at it, and employ the most creative link building methods. Speaking of working hard, did you see Dennis Pease's Greatest Real Estate Agent In The World Squidoo page, or Ryan Ward's Greatest Real Estate Agent In The World pr plug? I am certain Eric Bramlett's Greatest Real Estate Agent In The World campaign will include…

I haven't blogged in a while. Figured I'd start some place! :)
