MS FrontPage?  Say What?

Websites were the new shiny toys when I got into real estate back in 1996. I was kind of a techie back then, and even though I started my business web presence with a templated, low functioning website, I yearned to design one of my own.  So I designed my first version of spake.com sometime in early 1988 in Microsoft FrontPage 97.  [Disclaimer:  I am currently affiliated with Revid Realty and not any of the companies show in these ancient screen shots.]

Google’s answer to Facebook’s Like Button?  Well you are not likely to see Google saying that.  But I am giving it a try.  Click the +1 in the right sidebar, and we will see what happens.

To get you started,Agent Genius brings  a list of things you should know about the Google + Button, or just do a Google search on Google + Continue reading →
