Jenna -

Have you looked at the REW blogs > http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/blogs/ ?

These can be skinned to any site ... and have the strength of the REW domain behind them .....

Jenna;

Here is what Calgary is talking about in real terms. Do a Google search for Louisville Real Estate Blog. Working with a provider that has SIGNIFICANT authority behind their site is a GREAT thing. (And I really have not posted near what I should--grin)

What is a blog creator?

What is a blog creator?

Ha! I think a blog creator is something that "creates blogs" I think there are a few blog creator companies out there...you pay them some ridiculous fee every month and they will regurgitate a real estate news feed on your website for you. All the while, they're claiming that your building search engine ranking because of all the "unique" content they are writing for you website. It's a racket.

Actually, I was thinking more like a script or an application that could be plugged into my clients' websites. Forgive the semantics.

[webmaster]

So you are looking for a blogging software? www.wordpress.org is your best bet, it is free and quite good.

I'll vouch for that. I use it on my personal blog.. though I've had some pretty annoying problems with it lately.
