X-Tra, Miscellany and Admin: September 2007 Archives

I was interviewed by Channel 10 news about the local real estate market yesterday (September 19th). I actually watched their 5:30 news, and it came across pretty well. They went so far as to mention my locally oriented website.

Here's the video, for however long the link may last. You can see this website on the news!

Here's their website linking to mine.

Thank you Channel 10!

I believe that I have now fixed all of the internal links for danmelson.com.  Please email me if there still are broken internal links for that website. 

At the same time, I've added tags, which serve much the same purpose as chains, except that they can be multi-relational.  You'll find them on the bottom of the individual articles.  You can click on them and you'll get all of the posts with that same tag, so if you're looking for something, clicking on the most relevant tag has a good chance of bringing up the article you really want.

The standard browser "find on page" can also work wonders finding an article from the (new) archive page, if you know some of the title.  And, of course, I've already put Google Search back in, and Google has mostly re-indexed the pages.  Between all of this, it's much easier to find what you're looking for. 

I'm hoping to start with new content again by the start of next week.  FYI, there will also be a Consumer focused Carnival of Real Estate next week.

Okay, I'm still struggling a little with a long blank space on one sidebar (composing this entry while the site republishes to see if I've fixed it), but it appears that all the aggregators and social media links are present, even if a few are not quite where they belong.

If any of the aggregators you're used to are missing or nonfunctional, please email me.  If there is one (or more) you would like me to add, also please let me know.

Still remaining: Fixing all of the internal links, importing unpublished articles, and finally I'm going to try to fix it so that people coming in on a link to the old naming scheme get redirected to the correct article, as there seems to be a tool for that  You'll need to email me, but please wait until I have the internal links fixed!

The domain has now been pointed at the new host.  Still have the vast majority of the work to do.  All of the internal links are broken, every post needs to be categorized, and I have to restore all of the aggregator stuff.

If You're looking for something specific, go to the Archive Page at the bottom of the main page.  That's the best way to find stuff right now.

E-mail also needs to be fixed.  The only real way to send email right now is by leaving a comment.

UPDATE: Looks like I'm now able to send and receive email at the usual addresses
