Using the Quick Edit Function for Your WordPress Posts

When you go to edit your Posts in wordpress, sometimes you just want to add a tag or category, or sometimes you want to make the Post “Sticky” (it will not move down in order as new posts are placed, it stays in its position).

The only way to make a Post “Sticky” is to use the Quick Edit menu.

Hover over your Post title to make the Quick Menu appear.  Then select “Quick Edit”.

 

Once the Quick Edit box appears, you can add tags, categories, and check the STICKY button. Don’t forget to Update once you are done.

Pinterest for Real Estate Agents

Pinterest is the fastest growing website of all time. Even though we all groan at the thought of another social media site that we need to keep up with, Pinterest can not be ignored. It may be of special interest to Realtors if used correctly. You can start boards of certain styles of homes, homes in certain locations, interior design ideas, and architectual details. The sky is limit, and as usual, the more interesting the better. Here is a fantastic article all about Pinterest, how to get started, and more advanced advise. More exposure for real estate people is always better.
