SCREBC Blog Look and Feel Update

Hi All SCREBC visitors,
I have slightly changed the look and feel of the site as well as added a Real-Time Bubble Bloggers Feed in the Sidebar. Personally, I love seeing all of the stories aggregated into a single location of all of the bloggers on my blogroll, so feel free to make this one of your shopping locations for information.
If I missed you in my bubble blogroll or if there are any problems you see with the new site fixtures, please email me at socalb@gmail.com and let me know.

*****Update****** 1/18/2007
I have changed the Real-Time Bubble Bloggers Feed to not include the source (let me know if you prefer to have it back, and also added a similar Real-Time Economics Bloggers Feed down below: Enjoy!
*****Update 2**** 1/27/2007
Due to my own personal likes, I changed it back to including the source of the feed, as well as on the Economics Bloggers feed, increased the number of stories, and placed the blogroll on the left hand column. It took some shoehorning, but the update should be 99% done at this point.
Just a thought,
I could increase the number of articles showing in the feed by removing the source of the feed. Any thoughts on that?

Fine with me, as long as we can click on the “Read more” link at the bottom to see what you’re reading.
It should give us other bloggers more exposure. The Google bots search for web links at each site. This ought to increase our exposure in google searches.
My site meter is picking up more google hits lately. BTW nice site counter you have. Is it free?
Keep up the good work
To demonstrate how powerful that linking can be, type into Google “miserable failure” and believe it or not, you get George Bush.
Now and then you’ll see a post in your blog with a link that doesn’t seem to fit. What they are doing is raising their count in Google
Yeah, the site counter is free for limited storage (it only keeps the last 100 pages history for many of the metrics, although it keeps hitcounts for much longer)
I was always going to piggington.com to use his rss aggregator to see who had posted… when it was just Rich, Ben, Patrick, and I, it was easier to keep track, but now there are scores of bubble blogs and you have to have a feed to bring it all together rather than checking 20 sites several times per day.

here is a link to a site that might overwhelm you but it has all the feeds.

I’d have to quit my day job to read it all
Looks good and I like the link. I’m avoiding some of the sites where some racist crud keeps filtering in.
Thanks for the good work.
Just thinking. You keep blogging long enough and this will transform in to a why real estate is good investment… around 2015ish
Anon:
I suspect (and I could be wrong) that real estate will be a screaming buy about 2011 or 2012. Look for okay buying opportunities around 2009 or 2010. Until then, buckle in and watch the mortgage lender imploder on a weekly basis.
