Teresa 's Blog

7th Place, 7th Street Downtown St. Paul, MN Here on Active Rain a picture is not worth anything unless it is accompanied by at least 50 words.  In the real world of real estate blogs, local blogs or place blogs, as they are sometimes called, pictures are gold, and are worth a thousand words. This...

Yes we are still participating in project blogger.  Not easy for either of us because we both sell real estate and this is the busy season.  As soon as Vali has time I have to run to an appointment.  We reschedule, which we did twice this weekend and were unable to meet because Vali had to show s...

I wish there was a dear Abby for blog writers.  If there were I would send her a letter and ask for some advice.  I see a lot of advice here on the Rain but it just doesn't address my question. I have written before.  Abby never answers but some times my friends on Active Rain give me some good ...

Are black and white photos allowed?  I sure hope so.  I used to take pictures for a newspaper and they were black and whites.  over the years black and white film got harder and harder to come by and people would give me a dumb look when I wanted to get it developed.  I never used a digital came...

This is  my Friday fun post on St. Paul Real Estate. When it comes to using humor on a business blog there are maybe five or six things a REALTOR can write about without offending someone.  When I can't find a topic that won't get me in trouble I make fun of myself.  Most of the time that is a sa...

This morning I found a comment on my blog inviting me to look at another blog.  I did and have to say it was beautifully designed and well written.  Unfortunately it was missing some important components.  I have no idea who the blogger is, what they do, or where they work.  The content is about...

This is part of a post I wrote several months ago before project blogger, part of it was posted on the Real Estate Tomato, I am re-posting it today because it is related to project blogger. I would like to offer some ideas about what does not work  if the goal of the blog is to meet buyers and se...

Step one:This is where I am supposed to say something profound and coach like.  Vali Wimberly and I are working together because she wants a blog like mine at st. Paul real estate blog.It will not look like my blog or have the same content but the idea is to have a blog that will generate leads. ...

The world has changed quite a bit during the last couple of years.  Since I missed out on the bus bench craze I am going to put this in the sidebar of my blog so I can have a virtual bus bench.  I could get a real bus bench but I don't think it is worth the expense, and I don't like the idea of p...
