Hiya! BrokersScience has been quiet for the last year or so and that will be changing in the coming months. We’ve just rebuilt BrokerScience from the ground up. Sure, it doesn’t look like much has changed on the outside, but we’ve added some very cool new features.

BrokerScience Joins the LeadPress Mortgage Network

The first addition is that BrokerScience is the first blog to join the LeadPress Mortgage Network! What does that mean besides a new grey toolbar at the top of the page? It means that BrokerScience is now tied in with the LeadPress Campus. This means that BrokerScience activity streams show up on the LeadPress Campus and registration for BrokerScience is now handled via the LeadPress Campus. Registering for a LeadPress account means you get a neato profile page and the chance to meet others, learn and network.

New Faces in Mortgage Blogging

We’re also really excited to be adding some talented folks to the roster as well. We think the mortgage blogosphere could use quite a bit of work and we’re hoping that BrokerScience can be a new and exciting channel for mortgage and real estate peeps alike. In fact, if you know someone that you think might be a good addition to the team, ping us at trace at leadpress dot com.

New Author Pages and Sidebar Highlights

Another cool addition we’ve added is the ability to highlight our contributors. All contributors will have their own author page, author box (at  bottom of posts) and sidebar highlight (look to the right). The sidebar highlight is kind of nifty too because the newest contributors to post are automatically pushed to the top where they will likely get more eyeballs. These author boxes have a brief author bio and also point to the author’s website, BrokerScience posts, email and LeadPress profile. If you comment on BrokerScience, LeadPress Campus visitors can see your comments and may even join in the discussion. If you haven’t checked out the LeadPress Campus or the LeadPress Forums, now might be a good time! Things are a bit slow, but will be picking up as we add new features and build traffic.

We’re extremely excited to be taking a few weeks off starting tomorrow….. We are recreating a famed trip from two summers ago where we took our time taking the PCH up from Orange County, making our way through Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Monterey, Big Sur, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Napa Valley, the famed 128 highway (rolling hills, fruit stands, vineyards & apple orchards), Mendocino, Eureka, Arcata & beyond. After a gruelling 18 months non-stop, this is one deserved vacation.

The truth is that we may be gone for two weeks or it may be eight…. I just don’t know at this point. If I feel like working, I will, if not I will be busy sipping coffee at the local coffee shop, hiking in the redwoods, white water rafting, exploring small coastal towns and everything else we can think of that is fun. The truth is that I am addicted to the internet and social media, so I will likely not be too far.
