I just had a REW Blog added to my website yesterday. I would like some change made please.

• The contacts begin with the oldest first, I would like that changed to show the newest leads first. If this is a change I can make, I couldn't see how to do it.
• Title Tag reads "My Blog - Dennis's Blog" I would like that changed to "Oregon Real Estate News - Florence Oregon Real Estate Blog".
• From my Blog posts, I would like to change the "comment section" to look like Marc's, but also add below the email a place for the person making the comment to add their website URL - And for now anyway I want those to be NO-FOLLOW.
• Is there any additional cost to add an RSS Feed Button to the bottom of the left side Nav Bar, if not please add it.

Now I have some questions about the functionality of the Blog.

• I wrote a post that I wanted to go under the Category of "Florence Oregon" , but it doesn't show up there, it only shows up under "All Categories", what do I have to do to post in specific categories?
• I'm not sure exactly what the "Link Manager's" purpose is. Would this be a place you exchange Blogs with other people? Could you send me examples of other REW clients that have REW Blogs built into their sites so I can see what they are doing.
• In looking at Marc's Blog (http://www.luxurysarasotarealestate.com/)I see that he has some blog posts at the bottom of his home page. Is there an SEO advantage to doing it this way? It seems to me that there could be by keeping fresh content on the home page.

Actually I have second thoughts on the No-follow. Can this be made like our comment snippets to where I can decide on each post whether or not to make it do-follow or no-follow. If not make it DO-FOLLOW please.

Any advice on this would be appreciated.

Just out of curiosity I looked to see how Matt Cutts does his. He has no-follow on comments from his. But I also understand his Blog and my Blog are not in the same league (yet ). I think that would be like T-Ball as opposed to Major League Baseball

Hi Dennis,

For the Blog Updates that you mentioned above should take about 1 1/2 hours to complete. This includes the sorting of contacts, updated page titles and website url for comments.

Now to answer your questions about the functionality of the Blog.

I wrote a post that I wanted to go under the Category of "Florence Oregon" , but it doesn't show up there, it only shows up under "All Categories", what do I have to do to post in specific categories?

To place a blog post into a category, simply select the desired categories from the "Categories" list when adding a new post or editting an existing one. To select more than one category, hold "SELECT" when clicking.

I'm not sure exactly what the "Link Manager's" purpose is. Would this be a place you exchange Blogs with other people? Could you send me examples of other REW clients that have REW Blogs built into their sites so I can see what they are doing.

The Link Manager allows you to add external website links to the left hand menu. To try this out, simple go into the Link Manager and add a new link. You will notice the new section "Links" added to the left side navigation.

Examples of the "Links" section being used can be seen below:

In looking at Marc's Blog (http://www.luxurysarasotarealestate.com/)I see that he has some blog posts at the bottom of his home page. Is there an SEO advantage to doing it this way? It seems to me that there could be by keeping fresh content on the home page

The advantages of having the recent blog posts displayed on the homepage of your website is, of course, the fresh content, as well as attracts more visitors to read your blog entries. It takes 15 minutes to add the recent posts to your website home page.


Have a great day Dennis, talk to you soon,

I can't seem to add pictures to my Blog on my website. There must be something that needs tweaked.

Morning Dennis,

I've corrected this, you're now able to upload pictures.

Have a great day,
