Reading the Sellsius Blog I don't consider myself a Blogaholic....

"You Might Be a Blogaholic if.."

Signs of Blogoholism

9. Visit everyone on your blogroll at least once a day

I can stop anytime I want to.... writing blog entries and reading blogs about real estate elsewhere ... and reading ColumbusBlogs and looking for mentions of Columbus in blogs....

Sellsius' #11 sign.... is not me.

11. Have a significant other that no longer talks to you in person, rather by commenting on your blog.

I don't believe my significant other has ever read my blog.  He asked once if I blog about him.  I think he is thinking of a blog being a bit more personal than my blog is.  He told me I can blog about his cat.  I believe I have.  ooops ignore that personal note.....What significant other?

I think yesterday at an open house was the first time I ever did a Sellsius #5.  

5. Tell people you just met “I have a blog”

A man told me I was a good writer from my fact sheet at an open house.... a mere fact sheet??  .. I am a "BLOGGER." I exclaimed.

And Sellsius # 6 "sign of blogoholism... 

6. Have the skin color of a corpse

I have always been fair! 

 I forwarded Sellsius Blog's "You Might Be a Blogaholic if..." to a number of RealTown Bloggers.  I think more of RealTown bloggers should become Blogaholics.  I am promoting Blogaholism among Real Town Bloggers!  Bonnie Erickson of Real Estate Snippets, a St. Paul MN blog is one of the RealTown Bloggers that I believe is a blogaholic and I am proud of her for it!  Blogaholic

Denial? Maybe I am a blogoholic... an atypical blogoholic..(special?) ....  a closet blogaholic... a functional blogaholic?

In a clever story about different real estate markets, Sellsius Blog's  Real Estate Markets: Is Yours Dead Or Alive? says:  

"Alive & Well: Cleveland, Columbus, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Houston, Kansas City (MO) Omaha & Pittsburgh."

Sellsius interprets the facts from Money.CNN.com article about various US markets. Writer Ellen Florian Kratz, of FORTUNE magazine wrote an article about the relative 'health" of number of  real estate markets.  Columbus Ohio  is a "SafeHaven" according to Kratz article.  

In Real Estate Markets: Is Yours Dead Or Alive? 

Sellsius blog donned the scrubs, grabbed the paddles and yelled:

"CLEAR...."

"His heart rate's still low. Give him another milligram of atropine."

I covet the photograph Sellsius illustrate the entry with.. It is soooooo ER,  so Grey's Anatomy....  and all I have is a dorky cartoon doctor... but he is MY dorky cartoon doctor. 

There's an online discussion re: images now about using images in blog entries on BlogTalk (a forum for RealTown Blog's Bloggers.) This blog, Columbus Best Blog is a RealTown blog.  A 'blogging expert'  on BlogTalk and one of the most prolific bloggers on RealTown Blogs gave a lesson in how to swipe photos on the internet.  Strangely some of the photos on her blog are  linked to the Google Images page ....duh....
