First off, I’ve been working on getting an ACTUAL native iPhone App finished. Maybe it will be in the next couple of days, then on to the Apple Approval Process.

Second, I’m concerned about the speed and performance of the website. I’ve made a couple of minor improvements with the photos, but the flyer page still takes too long to load for my liking. The reasons are a combination of the slideshow, google map, the analytics program, and tabbed interface. I’ve went ahead and removed the slideshow from the main tab and moved it to its own tab while leaving the main photo on the main tab.

Third, I’ve added a new feature to the flyer page called “tweets”. One question that people have when buying a home, especially from out of area, is “What’s it like to live there?” The Tweets tab may help a little. Its purpose is to poll Twitter for all status updates within 5 miles of the home you’re looking at. It’s there to give you an idea of what’s going on locally. I”ll add this functionality to the Level 10 Mobile Version soon.

Fourth, look for more upcoming video posts. I have an idea that I want to try out. We’ll see how that goes.

That’s it for the moment!

Just as an update to the situation, still very sorry about the duplicate home posts from the MLS on the Level 10 Blog. I’m still working on trying to figure out why they do that. I’ve just tried something new, so that may work. If not, who knows!!!

Level 10 Realty will officially be moving office to Providence Main in the next couple of weeks as well as making some great changes that you’ll see very soon. I’ll update soon!

For the time being, I will be redirecting all of the sethparker.net pages to level10realty.com. Any page that you may have had bookmarked on sethparker.net will have the exact same URL. For example: sethparker.net/about_level10.php will simply become level10realty.com/about_level10.php.

I’m doing this in an effort to minimize duplicate content. Hopefully, there will be no problems during the transition. If there are, please don’t hesitate to let me know!

I will be leaving out at 4:30am tomorrow morning for a flight to San Francisco. During that time, I’ll be doing a public launch of the HomeScene program in front of about 1,000 people. All requests and inquiries will still be directed to me and I should still get them, but please forgive me if it takes a little longer than normal to get back to you. Once I get back, I’ll include a screencast of HomeScene, its features, and how to use it.

During the next couple of days, you may run across some small issues with site functionality or layout. The new Level Ten Blog is hosed pretty bad in Internet Explorer right now amongst other things. I would love for you to report any issues you come across so that I can make sure and get them all taken care of. -> seth@level10realty.com

When I get things finished (hopefully tomorrow), I’ll post about all the new goodies I’ve added. As an additional note, if you’re in the “Javascript -> Off” camp, this site may break down for you quite a bit. It’s really optimized more for larger screen resolutions, modern browsers, maps, modals, and Javascript. If you are still using Internet Explorer Version 6: Please upgrade. IE6 probably won’t like many of the elements on the site.

FOR BEST PERFORMANCE:

AT LEAST 1024 x 768 Screen Resolution. Firefox 3+, Safari 3+, and Google Chrome browsers are IDEAL. IE7+ Works fine (I think), but will not display a lot of the User Interface elements like rounded corners and such. Lastly, Javascript = ON/

Hopefully, I’ll have a post for tomorrow saying everything is finished!
