The Power Of A Post | Ihomefinder Integrated With WordPress
What a nice way to start the day: I got up and looked at my email at 5:55 AM PST: the lead in my form mail from a Realtor in New Jersey said:
” Upgrade current website to WordPress and add blog and iHomefinder IDX intergation….call anytime after 9am EST”
I called at 6:10 our time (9:10 EST) and asked him the question i already had an idea of the answer to:
“How did you find me?”
Of course it was a two word Google search: “ihomefinder wordpress”; which yielded this March blog post:
http://socialmediasystems.com/blog/seemless-integration-of-ihomefinder-idx-into-a-wordpress-blog/
I have been trying to explain this to people who are buying PPC and lousy leads for years, since 2001: because of ActiveRain.com, some of you are finally starting to get it. Maybe this example will help 
(PS: It is about the content!)
Best Bug Fix For Youtube Player Incompatibility With Blog
In the latest version of WordPress, and, I suspect, other blog platforms, there is an incompatibility between the Youtube embed code and the visual editor.
To work around this bug, here is how to embed video into your blog posts and pages:
I had to fix the videos in code view, here are instructions for now, to work around the incompatibility of the Youtube player with the visual editor:
1. Build the rest of the page forst
2. In the editor, click HTML tab, now you are looking at code, but the text is still text so you can see where you are
3. Insert the embed code from Youtube: example:
<object width=”640″ height=”385″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/YAwJR0_G2vU&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1″></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/YAwJR0_G2vU&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”425″ height=”385″></embed></object><br />
4. Remove everything but this:
<embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/YAwJR0_G2vU&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”425″ height=”385″></embed>
5. Surround the embed code like this with
<div><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/YAwJR0_G2vU&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”425″ height=”385″></embed></div>
6. Save without going back to visual editor.
The Value Of Social Media For Market Testing – This Is A Test…
It does not take a rocket scientist to understand the value, for instance, of Twitter for instant feedback on a product, service, or copy.
But most people do not realize the value of a group like this one for market testing: case in point: we are about to launch a replacement for e-Lance and Rent-a-Coder for the buying and selling of digital media products and services of all kinds including websites, video, and marketing – all free, with nothing standing in the way of the transactions (sort of like a free dating site for business, with the best features of Linked-in, Facebook, Meetup.com.)
What Better place to get some feedback about the initial copy and branding: your opinion please:
