Whoops, Sharon, I did not notice that you attached a domain name to the blog. www.koziel.com needs to be uncloaked to let your readers send permanent links! When you uncloak (or unmask) your domain name, the domain name will "evaporate" when the page is launched and open the possibility for link sharing. Each blog post creates a separate URL and readers can click the Link or Permanent Link and send posts separately. That is one of the internal features of blog architecture that makes blogs so wildly appealing to search engine spiders. Hear our Laser Coaching Session here. There are a few tech hiccups but don't worry, I am going to get this right soon!!! Sharon is a dynamite pro and it was fun to play with her this morning. Learn more about Sharon at her other web sites: Golf Homes of South Corona (CA) The next eight-week series of No Blogger Left Behind Webinars starts August 29, 2008.

A. The Blog Manager offers configuration settings. You can customize your RealTown blog using the Edit Template button. Blog template settings are changed with HTML codes. Each RealTown template varies and it is not possible to provide a one-size-fits-all answer at this time. If you have some basic HTML knowledge, you can make these changes easily. Otherwise, it is worthwhile to consult with a techie who has some background in HTML. Q. What are the Group Access Key and Invitation Key to access the private RealTown group? A. There is a special RealTown group that is a PRIVATE group for No Blogger Left Behind attendees and alumni. Just send us an e-mail and we will send you an invitation so that you can access the group. Q. Can you send the link to the ActiveRain Breakout that you did a few weeks ago? A. Unfortunately, the Webinar platform had a snafu with the recording device. We are in the process of switching to the Webex platform to take our delivery up a few notches! Stay tuned. August will be an exciting month for No Blogger Left Behind attendees. There are some more exciting Breakouts coming up that you will not want to miss.

Podcast (Audio Only) Yesterday's Webinar with Blanche Evans (Realty Times) and Hilary Marsh (Realtor.org) offers valuable information about online publishing rules, including copyright considerations and new Blogging Guidelines being developed by the National Assn. of REALTORS. One of the most interesting issues in the guidelines is the position that the NAR legal eagles are taking about comments. They are insisting that the NAR blogmasters moderate their comments:
The webcast, podcast, and handout contain information that real estate agents and brokers will find valuable in developing a Blog Business Plan. The following resources are mentioned in the Webinar:
The next 8-week Blog Coaching Webinar program starts next week. Join us and take your blogging to the next level at No Blogger Left Behind.

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:
