Blogging on real estate and life in Metro Vancouver.

Is the 604homesblog dead?

Well, I have thought so for quite a while now and no one has cried out they they were missing me. The limitations of the version of the Community Server platform that the 604homesblog is based on plus what appeared/appears to have been a low return on investment (ROI) led me to spending more time on other aspects of my website (specifically the Vancouver home search pages, also know as IDX and VOW to those in the biz), Twitter and my Facebook fan page (please become a fan).

I am still unsure whethe I will come back to blogging and if I do where will I do that, here, or on a separate Wordpress-based blog, or on a completely redsigned and re-platformed 604homes.com.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter and I'll be sure to let you know where it all goes.

I'm curious what the limitations were with the platform.

Would love to have a meeting with you some time about your blogging (maybe an interview?) on Active Rain and other networks.

The biggest limitation was video. I cannot place a youtube (or any other platform) video directly into a post here.

Adding photos is not ideal either, but I could live with that.

The other issue is design which is very limited.

I'd be happy to do the interview in the New Year.

I suggest that you redesign and keep this blog. I think you can put some pictures and videos on a WordPress site.

Hi Jeremy, Thanks for the encouragement. I may just do that. I am building another site with wordpress right now and may move this one too. We'll see...
