Blogging Boot Camp - Your Incubator for Blogging Ideas
Each week during our Blogging Boot Camp we share creative blogging ideas, discuss how to implement blogging best practices and offer helpful tips to best use the WordPress blog editor with our real estate agent/broker students. The exchange is fun and the ideas that flow out of our time together are always very interesting. During our recent boot camp call (Thursday-week #7), we shared this idea we thought would benefit the “masses”. Just as a helpful reminder, when blogging, think globally but write locally.

I recently wrote a post on how to Customize your ActiveRain blog. But my original approach required digging into CSS and HTML. I quickly realized that this could be over the heads of some people in the Active Rain community. So I went back to the drawing board and developed a way for ActiveRain users to easily customize their blog without any knowledge of CSS or HTML. It’s called the ActiveRain Custom Blog Generator. You simply answer a few questions, and hit submit. The Generator does all the hard work for you. Be sure to check it out.

I always like to discuss the benefits of blogging. That’s because those who blog have witnessed first-hand the “real” benefits. Some of the benefits you will realize include:
