I've been paying attention to my web logs lately.
Today I noticed a referring site that actually had a fair amount of people clicking through and guess what I found?
I've been blogged! How exciting is that?
This is way more fun than I imagined.

I finally started advertising Bay Area Sold Homes and I’ve got some consistent traffic. There have been some times when I haven’t advertised, and I still have consistent traffic!
There are definitely some small things I would still like done to give the site a more ‘polished’ look before I went live. But I started to realize that I needed to get this started already.
The functionality is tight and working perfectly. The interface can be improved more, and it will be soon enough. The layout/design needs to be improved too.
I tried hiring somebody to do GUI design and I didn’t find anybody that conveyed their understanding of flat HTML using CSS. Everybody was using Flash.
I’m about 4 days away from finishing the second pass of data, including better geocoding. The data that is live now is missing about 12% of the entries due to geocoding issues on the first pass.
I was having some problems with my process that scrapes and geocodes the records.
So I was a week behind. But today we're all caught up again!
I'm going on a vacation for the rest of this month and am hoping to finish the process to automate the weekly process.
Data is complete through 6/4/2006.
