Over the past 2 years, I’ve seen numerous real estate blogs adopt the MyBlogLog Recent Readers widget — and I love the fact that so many use it. However, I have yet to see a real estate blogger adopt the new About Me widget MBL announced in mid-December. I think this is a great way to easily show off your online presence in one module without having to add “badges” from every social network in your repertoire. I’ve implemented the widget on my personal blog (right sidebar) if you want to see what it looks like on an actual blog.
For those who contribute to multiple blogs, or maintain several blogs targeting different niches, the “sites authored” section of the widget does a great job of showing off other sites you contribute to.
Though, related to real estate, there’s no current option to add social network profile links in the real estate space like ActiveRain, Zillow, Trulia, etc. But maybe — just maybe — if the RE.net creates enough of an uproar, MBL will consider adding some real estate specific fields.
The next widget I would like to see? How about a widget for each “blog” that displays all the contributing authors to a particular blog — that would be a great addition to Geek Estate, or any multi-author blog for that matter.
If you want further details, please head over to the MyBlogLog blog.
