Not everyone is a "blog" writer, especially on a consistant basis. Eric – I asked a couple of lenders to write for my blog, without success.

Just need to get them to write on a regular basis. I have tended to do most of the blog myself but have invited some guest writters of which I hope to find more.

With the changes in the mortgage industry, people everywhere want to know how it will affect their ability to buy and sell their home or what a fed rate change means to the mortgage rate. You make the information easy to understand. I can't tell you the number of hits I've had directly related to an article I posted from Bring the Blog. Of course, that equals people who have found my blog, who may not have otherwise. I don't mind if you share at all - that's exactly what I'm doing here :) Dan – Just as important as having my time back is the relevant material provided by Bring the Blog.

We're thrilled that Bring the Blog is giving you your "time" back -- we hear that refrain a LOT! And, to follow-up on HOW you use our content, what you're doing is really smart. By choosing which of the posts to show on your blog, and then customizing them to include your market's keywords, I'd venture that you're making our posts even MORE relevant to your readers and I am sure that they appreciate that, too. I am going to share this post with our other members, if you don't mind, because it sounds like you're getting a lot of utility for just a little bit of effort. Thanks!

They do not write original content for each person. Since I don't use every article and often change it up a bit, I don't end up with the same content as everyone else. I have enough original material, it hasn't affected my blogs ranking. Dan does write about real estate also. I choose to use the articles or posts about lending, new guidelines and economy issues to bring a new topic and regular updates most people are interested in. Carol – I thought about that, also.

I do write the majority of my own content, in my own style. I use the mortgage content from Bring the Blog to enhance my own. It's a perfect match for me.

I thought I could do it all myself but the added value of posts about mortgages, intrest rates and how what is happening in our everyday lives affect both. Dan writes about it so much better than I could. Ruthmarie - The Tomato team are good at taking care of bugs - they wouldn't be so ripe and red if they weren't. Good luck with your new blog :) Missy – I like using the posts, which was a huge step for me.

I just went public in the past couple of days - but there have been a couple of bugs, so I am only posting now. I’m just getting started with the Tomato people – and they are great!
