Project Blogger Heats Up… Bloggers gettin’ Feisty!

by Matt

 

When Project Blogger started a couple weeks ago, I wasn't too excited. Blogging is pretty hard and you have to get into the groove before it starts becoming a lot of fun. Most bloggers start and less then 4 months (if that) are done and moving onto something else.I thought it was a good idea, but will probably fizzle out

Was I wrong…These guys are in it to win it! 

Drew of Zillow, put out a call for a Zillow wordpress plugin…we responded, and I programmed my butt off to get turn one out for him. I was never far from my computer during that period.

We gave it to Drew, he installed it on his apprentices blog…few bugs when the property is not in Zillow, but over all I think it is a great plugin, and when we release it, I think a lot of agents will benefit from it.

As soon as Drew blogged about, we started getting emails requesting it.

Here is an email from Jeff Turner

"Just read about the Zestimate Plugin and would love access to it for my project blogger apprentice as well. Thanks, Jeff Turner"

Then I responded:

"Sorry Jeff…Drew said nobody can use it until he wins Project Blogger…

Just kidding, we are fixing a few bugs when there is no Zestimate for a property. As soon as we have that fixed we will send you the Plugin.

Thanks
Matt"

Then Jeff Came out of nowhere with this:

"Matt,

Then no one would be able to use it…. :)

        Thanks. I will look forward to it."
 
 
 
Stay tuned this competition is getting good! Like I said these guys all want to be the blog champions…
 
Seriously, the CMA plugin will be released as soon as we figure out a few bugs and a couple more features.

      Matt-
      It’s great to see so much interest in this plugin - I think it’s a fantastic addition to any real estate blog running wordpress. Thank you for coding away!

      Jeff-
      No faith in Tisza and myself pulling off a win, huh? So disappointing. I’m looking forward to a healthy competition the rest of the way. I love the header that you have up on Living in Plainfield - gives a great personality to the blog.

      Do I need to separate you guys?

      Remember, we are all winners in the blogosphere.

      Drew… you kidding? I’m not even sure Tisza actually needs a coach. You should just stop now and cruise to the finish line. Tisza could win on humor alone! Or volume of posts. Or both. :)

      And as for design… as the kids on my block say, “you’ve got some serious skittles.”

      Hi Matt,

      I just wanted to thank you for creating the plug in. It is wonderful to have the opportunity to help debut a new toy.

      Jeff, thanks for the kudos. I agree, LivingInPlainfield.com looks almost as good as Route66Living.com.

      Thanks again for your help. Take care, help lots of people and have a wonderful day!

      Tisza
