The top producing real estate professionals are always looking for an edge. They are often voracious readers of the leading blogs such as Future of Real Estate Marketing, participating in online communities such as ActiveRain, and attending industry conferences such as Inman Real Estate Connect. We wanted to share with our community that an exciting, new Real Estate Technology conference, REtech South, is happening next week in Atlanta, GA.

Brad Nix, Maxsell Real Estate, is co-hosting the event on March 27, 2008 at the Hilton Atlanta Northeast. I am especially impressed with the top speakers such as Pat Kitano and Kevin Boer that will be participating in this inaugural event. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Brad Nix for the invaluable feedback on our service and the Real Estate Industry in general that he has provided us over the last year.

If you’ve published more than a few flyers with us, chances are you’ve noticed a link on all your flyers that either reads More Listings (on premium layout flyers) or View Other Flyers (on standard layout flyers). These links connect to your Account profile where all your published flyers are listed; they allow people viewing one of your flyers to view others as well. Some of our customers asked if we could provide the option of showing or hiding these links and we thought that was a darn good idea, so we’ve made it easy to remove those links from your flyers!

To do so, log in to your account. Then click the Account tab and Profile sub-tab. At the bottom of the Contact Information section is a drop-down menu labeled More Listings Link: with two options: Show and Hide. All accounts are automatically set to show the link. If you do not want the More Listings or View Other Flyers link to appear on your flyers, select Hide from the drop-down menu and click Update. The link will automatically be removed from premium layout flyers; for standard layout flyers and email versions of flyers, you will need to re-publish the flyers for the change to take effect.

We appreciate the feedback that we get from our users. We try to be as responsive as we can especially when it benefits most of our users. By popular demand, photo re-ordering is now available on vFlyer.

We recently received an email from Lyn Sims asking why she could only post the standard layout of her flyers to her Active Rain blog and not the premium layout. Well, you can actually post both Standard and Premium layout flyers. Here are the instructions for both.

Embedding Standard Layout Flyers

Embedding flyers is simple! Follow the straight forward instructions. Simply go to the Post tab of your flyer, copy the HTML in the Other Sites HTML tab, make sure the HTML tab of your ActiveRain post is selected, paste the HTML and voila.

Embedding Premium Layout Flyers

Embedding a Premium Layout flyer requires the use of an IFrame.

First, copy the URL of your premium layout flyer. This URL is available on both the Publish screen and the Post Flyer tab when re-editng the published flyer.

Second, create a new post to your Active Rain blog. Then click the HTML tab above the text box (as opposed to the WYSIWYG tab) and type

<iframe src= “<flyer URL>” height=”1000″ width=”900″></iframe>

Continue with the post and click Post Blog Entry when you’re ready. You should see your beautiful premium layout flyer appear with all the links active! And you can do this for any premium layout flyer that you’ve published!

Here’s an example of a premium layout flyer posted as an IFrame.

See example on Activerain

So, not only have you learned to post your premium layout flyer to your Active Rain blog, you’ve also learned how to use an IFrame!

Thanks Lyn for bringing this to our attention!
