Blogging software

What is everyone using for blogging software? I just started using an amazing local service here in Portland meant specifically for agents. I tried Blogger for a while, but I just found it lacking in some respects. This software lets me geocode my posts so that they show up on my IDX map too. This way, clients can look for listings on my website, and see my posts right alongside it on the map with their own little icon

Blogging is for blogging.
Blog about events in your community.
Blog about issues that will impact buyers and sellers.
Blog about things Sellers and do to improve their sales prices.

There are thousands of blogging ideas you could implement. Hyperlink the blog to pages in your website that are the source of your information.
Tag each blog with an invitation to comment or participate. Invite others to blog on your blog. [Home Inspectors, Stagers, Mortgage Lenders]

A blog should stand alone.
Your website stands alone.

The concept is meet me on my blog then research additional topics and things that discuss what your Unique Service Proposal is. Find a motivated realtor in my community. through my blogs that lead them to my website.

While I respect that point of view, I am trying to integrate the blog and the website and the IDX listings to see how it works. It seems to be doing very well so far, and I have received great feedback from clients who enjoy the blog, and the ability to see the posts alongside the listings.

WordPress is a great blogging software, easy to implement, easy to administer, easy, easy, easy!

Well, that's MY $0.000002 worth!

Thanks for listening!
