Somethings with the Typepad platform are just not as easy as they should be. One of those things is having your contact info front and center. For those of us in the real estate industry, I think it's a must! Even though most readers will most likely email us--some will want to pick up the phone and call.
On Mortgage Porter, I added a blurb under my photo ("the head" is what my husband calls the photo), the "About Rhonda Porter" link and the "email me". It looks like this (the phone number looks funny because of Skype):
How did I create this?
- Click on the green tab "TypeLists". (This is also where you can create list of links and other tricky typepad stuff).
- Click "Create New Typelist".
- Select "Note" in the drop down.
- Select the title of your Note. This is what will show up as a title on the blog. On my mortgage blog, the title is "DO YOU NEED A MORTGAGE?" I thought that was pretty direct.
- Leave the "Label" section blank.
- Under "Notes" enter what verbage you would like for people to contact you. I have "Rhonda Porter, CMPS and Licensed Loan Originator 510-LO-32047, helps Washington families with their mortgage needs. Contact her at 206-718-9488or rhonda (at) rhondaporter (dot) com.
- On the blue tabs, select "Publish". If you have more than one blog, you can select which blogs you want this note to appear.
Ta da! Now you can rearrange the note where ever you would like it to appear on your blog. I like my contact info right under my big head.
