Mortgage Porter is in the Spotlight

February 23, 2007 by 2 Comments

Mpj039591600001_1Talk about a Happy Friday post!   Last week, I was interviewed by Matt Carter of Inman News,  an internet Granddaddy of real estate and consumer news, about blogging and my articles for Mortgage Porter and Rain City Guide.  This is big time press, to say the least.   

Here is my 15 minutes (or seconds?) of fame (you’re going to love the title):  Mortgages are not sexy party conversation.  In this post, Mortgage Porter is included with many great real estate blog leaders. 

As if this wasn’t enough to qualify for a Happy Friday post, fellow CMPS, Dan Green gave Mortgage Porter a very nice nod in his highly respected blog, The Mortgage Reports.

I think I’m going to go pinch myself now!

Viaduct Replacement Vote

February 21, 2007 by Leave a Comment

Viaduct_1Regardless of what your opinions are with the Seattle Viaduct, any moment now City of Seattle residents will be receiving their mail-in ballots to cast their votes.

Rain City Guide posted an interesting blog this morning (the post is fairly unbiased).   The important to know that there are two questions on the ballets, providing four options:

One: Yes on the viaduct.
Two: No on the viaduct
Three: Yes on the tunnel
Four: No on the tunnel

Jon Ribary’s post is worth the read!

While having my morning coffee, I surfed various sites BloodhoundBlog compiled that I posted yesterday.   There’s lots of great stuff–one site I found especially interesting is Neighboroo.   

Often times, I am asked about how to find demographics for a certain region…here you go!   This site provides information by zip code.   To check it out, click here.

Check out my new Bling Bling

I’ve been getting my blog on, baby.  Join me for a quick tour of The Mortgage Porter.

On the first grey column, under my photo (my husband affectionately calls “the head” because it’s so close up) and favorite links, you’ll notice my Meebo.  This is an instant message tool you can use to, well…instant message me.   Questions, comments…if I’m on line, feel free to Meebo-me. 

The other feature I would like to bring your attention to is on the right column towards the bottom.  There are several different options for subscribing to The Mortgage Porter.   Probably the easiest would be entering your email address into the subscribe box.   You will not be spammed (you know how much I detest spam) and you will only receive email updates when I create a new blog.   No new post, no email update.   

And our brief tour of The Mortgage Porter is now concluding.  Thank you.
