Hey guys,
Been talking about it for a while and we are close to finishing the coding side of the new REW Blogs.

What is this? Basically it is very similar to what you are used to at blogger. Instead of having to create a blog at yourblog.blogspot.com you will now be able to create a blog here at REW using your REW username or other name you choose.

So for instance (There is not skinning or advanced functionality turned on) but my blog would be www.realestatewebmasters.com/blogs/webmaster/

You can login and create a post, edit posts, it has an advanced wysiwyg editor all that fun jazz. One of the cool new features of this blog which is an improvement over the existing blogs is that you can create your own custom meta data per page.

Another cool feature of the blogs is that you will be able to upload your listings to the blogs to showcase to visitors.

There is an outbound links section so that you can link to your sites, or other bloggers blogs, a static page section, blog settings manager all the things you would expect from a blog.

A major benefit of these blogs is that you can rank them in the major SE's right away, you dont have to worry about sandboxing and because REW is such an authority if you do a good job with your postings, you should be able to generate a TON of traffic and hopefully generate some leads.

There is also a rev share component, each blog will have an adsense component which by default will show REW ads, similar to the ones you see to the right of the forum >>>>

If you want to make some adsense revenue from your blog you can sign up for an adsense account and copy paste your adsense code into your backend and the system will automatically rotate your adsense ads and the REW ads. There is a huge potential for revenue for busy posters and for those of you that are not real estate agents but maybe looking for extra income and just love blogging, this will be perfect for you.

I am looking for suggestions as to what you guys would like to see in these blogs and of course volunteers for beta testing of V1.1

These blogs will only be open to REW Forum members who have shown that they understand what a quality website has to offer and that we trust will use their blogs for the power of good, not evil - so no spam!

So yeah, tell us what you want, or tell us what you hate about your current blog - we're listening!

Also a non adsense version of the blog will be available for install on all REW sites soon after we beta test V1.1 so clients tell us what you would want on your perfect blog.
