Wordpress and CMS I

[howard11792]

I know you cand intergrate the REW Blog with CMS I but can you intergrate WP with the links and spidering into CMS I? If so, how much labor/hours to set up?

Thanks

Hi Granda,

We can install a Wordpress blog for you .... It is completely separate from the CMS. Programming time is about 1hr for the install with a default template. Then if you'd like a design to match your template - that can take up to 6hrs.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'with the links and spidering'

Thank you,

Hi Granda,

You replied to the forum email with this.

I "think" by links and spidering I mean - will I get all of the SEO value tieing back to our website?

Please advise.

Real Estate Webmasters customer support does not provide SEO support. Sorry. Did you want to do the blog install?

Aaron,

Sorry for being difficult - I'm not asking for SEO support.

I am asking if the structure of the WP Blog that REW will set up will give me simailar functionality as a REW blog in terms of how search engines see it as part of my website?

I believe you told me a few months ago that the REW blog is not an option for CMS I and that's why I'm considering going this route.

Thanks again.

Hi Granda,

No Worries - Your question is still SEO related. So I cannot comment on if 'search engines see it as part of my website'
However - I can give you an example of one default wordpress install: http://www.sarasotalandandhomes.com/...l-estate-blog/

Yes - to have the REW Blog you must be running CMS 2.0 or greater.

Thank you,

I will check it out - thanks...

Howard - I "highly" recommend you upgrade to 2.5 - you don't currently have an IDX so your xfter would likely be around $400 (much less than the cost of a skin or wordpress)

I know you need it so much, that I will give you the blog for free, if you upgrade to 2.5.

[howard11792]

Just to make usre I am clear...
The upgrade to 2.5 including the IDX and the blog is $400? Are there separate options to just go with the 2.5 and the Blog? Please tell us our options...

Thanks
HM

What? No -that's not what I said at all - you "don't have an IDX" so the 2.5 upgrade (CMS / lead manager) will likely only cost you around $400 - I never said anything about giving you a free IDX - just a free blog, if you do the upgrade.

[howard11792]

Just to make sure I'm clear... the upgrade to 2.5 with the blog would be roughly $400.
