The Realtor® Trademark Fixer Wordpress Plugin

Are you respecting the Realtor® trademark? Maybe you’re mad at NAR and you don’t care if you add the trademark symbol or not, but for most of us, we don’t mind (and consider it a lower risk proposition) to go ahead and put the trademark on there. Realtor®, as you may know, is a registered [...]

A Reminder About the Houssee Spam Policy

Instead of wondering who won the Houssee award this week, I’ve spent the last few days playing spam cop.  In the hope of not having to do this too often, here’s an unfortunate reminder from our law enforcement division. On the issue of vote manipulation, as our spam policy states:  …if your friend is just you [...]

Well, we’re all having a great time on Houssee. We’re having so much fun that it’s time for an update: Lots of folks have been stopping by to visit. Even though we’re only eleven days old we have — coincidentally enough — 101 stories submitted or published, and 101 users. Hey, this makes [...]

Problem Using Option 2 Search Engine Friendly URLs using htaccess in Pligg, With Fix

For most of my usual real estate readers, this post will be pretty technical and you may want to skip it.  It deals with a fix I found in working on Houssee.com, and it has a sort of Dilbert-like appeal to those of you who’ve ever worked on a software team. One of the reasons I [...]

Do you dig real estate, yet find yourself homeless on Digg? Houssee.com is a Digg-like site for Real Estate news.

Houssee.com adds "Top User" Feature

As threatened, promised, I’ve added a sidebar widget for the top user links to Houssee.com, the Internet’s best 100% Spam-free (famous last words) Pligg-based real estate publish-and-vote-for-your-news Digg clone.

Promote Your Real Estate Blog on Houssee.com

I am pleased to announce that ParticleWave has just launched Houssee.com, a web site where you can submit and vote for your favorite real estate articles.
