Excellence in the Blogosphere

Every once in a while I need to stop and point out excellence that may not fit in the whole idea of "thoughts on real estate and life."  There are two guys that helped me and several others create their blog who are more than just a great company.  Blogsites.biz was founded by one friend, Randy Elrod, and is now being managed by another, Jeremy Thiessen.  Downherejeremy

You've met Randy elsewhere in my blog.  Now meet Jeremy.  Not only is here quite the experienced blogger, he's an awesome musician.  Here's a portion from a recent Tennessean article:

"Downhere drummer Jeremy Thiessen was against moving to Nashville from Canada in 2001 with the other members of the Christian alt-rock band.  But as he reflects on his experiences since then, he has no regrets." Read more about his story here.

Thoughts on Blogging

Blog A few random thoughts on the whole idea of blogging:

-If I would have known it could be this easy, I would have started earlier.

-With that first comment, thanks Jeremy and Randy for making it this easy!

-It's been two weeks and I mostly know what I am doing, but it is time to put this out there for the rest of the world.  I think that I will try that with some questions regarding one of the items from my title.  Since "life" is one of those, those questions may get pretty interesting...

-As I contemplate the future of this site, I wonder what it might look like in a few weeks, months, years?  More "real estate" or more "life"?  Those of you that know me best are betting on the second, aren't you?

-I would like to ask for a little help.  It seems like the best blogs provide a place for great, open discussion.  So, as I begin to share this site with everyone that I know, would you do the same?

-Also, let everyone know what you are thinking.  When we collaborate, we all get better.  So jump in there with your comments about life or real estate.  I'll make up answers as I go and we all should have some fun along the way.

-Here's to many more days of blogging!!
