A Chameleon Caused The Breakup
Tada! So I’ve finally broken up with Blogger/Blogspot and have moved on to my hot new Word Press! The colors have changed, the corners have rounded, the uber-modern Blogroll has been born, (be sure to “ooh” and “aah” in the comments), but I’m still the same brassy Texan broad who is the quintessential Real Estate fan.
The chameleon has become the new logo simply because Real Estate is never black and white. Real Estate is consistently hyper local- even between two firms in the same city, you’ll see fluctuations in practice. The chameleon represents Real Estate and its many colors and forms- in practice and presentation. I’ve experienced this first hand (from the perspective of business development) surfing the blogosphere where you can see, hear and feel how differently each application of the Real Estate practice can be applied. It is my job as Director of Business Development to watch the horizon for trends and sifting out the fads from the way forward. The chameleon (big eyeballs and all) has the ability to look forward and backward at the same time- thus our super intelligent mascot was born!
Be sure to change your feed readers and bookmarks as the chameleon has taken over RealtorWives!

Very cool blogroll!

Did the “Live Earth” concert have anything to do with this going green business?
Great job with communicating this change too by the way.
Thanks,
Shailesh
P.S. I don’t miss the Longhorn kickoff countdown!

very nice site…I love the chameleon mascot.. your site gives me ideas for mine…
July 10th, 2007 at 11:50 pm
Thanks guys!
I didn’t take part in the “Live Earth” sham… the timing is eerie, huh?
Let’s just say we’ve GONE GREEN! Woo Hoo!!!

Allow me to introduce myself. I am an attorney from GEICO and would like to inform you that you are obviously jumping on the GECKO bandwagon to attract our clientele. Consider this your order to quit.

Ha- nice, Chris! If the gecko can take on the RE Revealed chameleon in a death match, we’ll solve it that way. K?
Only one can win!
Who’ll place bets? Remember- chameleon’s eyes can independently look forward and backward while their body blends in with their environment… who’s in?
July 11th, 2007 at 1:11 pm
But according to the commercials the Gecko can drive. So he may just mow down your chameleon in a hit-and-run “accident.”

Touche, Chris

Great new look Lani. That whole changing color, looking forward and backward, no black and white in real estate mascot description was too perfect.
July 11th, 2007 at 9:05 pm
Great new format…it’s very greeny!
I did notice the boxes moving up the screen…is that some type of hypnotic trancey thing???
July 11th, 2007 at 11:26 pm
Wow. Nice new digs! Did you code that blogroll yourself or is that a Wordpress plugins that I could use to shamlessly copy your lead.

Hey Lani: I found your site as I was creating a new bookmarks page and went to add RealtorWives.com to my newly created bookmarks page. Question - Is RealtorWives.com no more or what? Wondering so I can make sure I use the right address on my bookmarks page - I have you down right now as rerevealed.com so let me know if I need to update the address, etc.
July 12th, 2007 at 2:28 pm
Dereck, yes, you will need to update bookmarks to rerevealed.com/
Todd, the blogroll isn’t a widget, its simple html and not origional to us except no one’s ever used this formatt as a blogroll, that was ours. If we can fix the load time the blogroll is actually expanding into another project we are doing and we will release it as an actual widget. But as a sidenote, the blogroll isn’t very practical in this format and still clunky. Stay tuned for the fix.
