Project Blogger Redux: Are You Talking to Spiders or People, Mary?
 Mary Pope Handy was a brand new blogger last spring. She launched her first blog, LiveInLosGatos.com as my Blog Apprentice under the watchful eyes of thousands of real estate agents and bloggers during the Project Blogger Contest sponsored by Inman News and ActiveRain. I had the privilege of working with Mary as her Blog Coach. She won the contest handily and she reflects upon the last year at her ActiveRain Blog.
Mary has numerous blogs now. One of my favorites is her Haunted House Blog. She launched another gorgeous new blog last week. ALMOST everything about that blog is perfect: design, illustrations, writing!
I confess that the title of this blog has my Blog Coach hormones raging out of control, however, and I have to give Mary a shout about her URL:
www.SanJoseRealEstateLosGatosHomes.com
Mary, What are you thinking, girl! You have the keenest, most wonderful style in the Blogosphere ... your other blogs are wearing finery from their domain names to the smallest detail of their construct. Haunted House Blog is wonderful ... Live in Lost Gatos is easy to remember ... but San Jose Real Estate Los Gatos Homes???? This is a name that speaks to SPIDERS, not PEOPLE. It has no heart, no soul.
I beseech you to shed that awful, boring URL for something that befits a Mary Pope Handy blog. Your blog needs a more elegant name, something that reflects YOU. |

Adding Interactive Discussion Groups to Your Web Site or Blog
I have been writing a step-by-step Web site creation chronicle at one of my other blogs, RealTown Report. Recent addition of online discussion forums at my new Point2 Agent web site has sparked some questions about the basic how-to's of adding a discussion forum to a web site or blog.
Q. "Frances, I really like your community Blog. My question is, I have a RealTown blog, how do I go about doing a community Blog? Do I have to get rid of the other one? Also, where can I find instructions on how to build one with links to my site as you did? Thanks for all your help!
Q. "Fran, I’m really intrigued by the Discussion groups that you’ve added to your web site. This is a great way to take a static site and make it interactive. Will you share the mechanics of how to establish a Discussion group? Is there a website I can go to? Do you offer classes on how to do this? Thanks for any assistance you can give me."
First, let me clarify that the online discussion forums are not community blogs, per se. They are blog-like in terms of engaging the web visitor in a highly interactive format, but we will refer to them as RealTown Groups to match the descriptors at RealTown.com, where these Groups (forums) are hosted. There is an example of a RealTown Group on the Foreclosure Resources page of my web site titled, "Helping Americans KEEP Their Homes." There is another Group on the web site and I expect that I will have several niche discussion groups in short order.
Here are the steps to set up and install a RealTown Group on a web site:
- Log in to RealTown.com. If you have a RealTown Blog, you are already a member of RealTown. Use your e-mail and password to log in. You will land on your My RealTown page.
- Click on My Groups on the My RealTown menu on the right.

- Click on Create a Group on the menu on the right.
- Set up the Group following instructions on the screen.
- Write a post or two explaining the mission of the Group and scroll to the bottom of the list and click on the RSS Feed icon. Copy the URL that appears in the browser.
- Paste this code in the appropriate place in your web site. If you have a Professional or Premium Point2 Agent web site, go to Edit, select a page, select a Center Column Add Content link, write a headline and brief introduction for your discussion group, and then replace the default Yahoo! RSS feed with your own RSS Group Feed.
