Your first point is so so important. It’s true across a lot of blogs in fact. When I come across a good post I always like to see who wrote it. I want to know what I’m reading is credible and trustworthy. A nice bio and background never hurts. A professional pic also helps.

–great advice! Thanks Teresa. You have been a tremendous help and inspiration to me, and I am sure to thousands more.

One of the challenges I regularly face is making my posts shorter. Sometimes it’s hard to get substance into a couple short paragraphs, but I agree that it is essential to keeping readers. Thanks for reminding us of the importance of this. And, of course, pictures! I love a blog with pictures, yet frequently forget to post them myself.

I’m watching the realtor blogs to see when I can hope to sell my house for full value. Anyways, I’m wondering what you all think of holding an open house. Any good for the seller or just a way to make contacts for the agent? I’ve done one and it was attended by few.

Thanks for the tips Teresa! I almost always get pretty “wordy” and need to remind myself that less is often more…

OK Teresa, I’ll take you up on your invitation (even if it wasn’t really one.) My site isn’t new, but I’d love to get the perspective of someone I truly respect in the business.

(PS — go easy on me, it’s my birthday today!)

Many thanks,

Chuck
