I can think of a few excuses why I stopped writing posts over the last couple months (too busy, holidays, & not enough topics) but the real reason is lack of commitment to blogging.  I don’t think I am the only one who has done this.  I have noticed a few other people, including some real estate agents, who have started a blog only to stop writing posts a few weeks into it.  From what I can tell, blogging, like exercising & dieting, requires dedication and discipline to be successful at it.  It is my hope that by putting this out there, I will be more committed and held accountable to doing this.

Over the last few weeks, I have been visiting several of the well known real estate blogs to get some ideas and see how these people are doing it.  Some of these sites include Zillow’s Blog, Rain City Guide, The Real Estate Tomato, Real Central VA, & Bloodhound Blog, just to name a few of them.
