If you're still working with Windows XP I've got a deal for you, it's a picture resizer and it's from Microsoft. Besides that there are a whole bunch of tools available. See Power Toys for Windows. I downloaded it, no problems. When I right click on a photo I have a resize option. How cool is that?Vista users, well, we're not going to leave you out. You can Resize photos in Windows Live Photo Gallery. It makes changing the sizes of your pictures, quick & easy.

Please note: Never resize your original photo. Make a copy, save the original, and work with the copy.

Navica Users Rejoice

Rutherford County MLS Members will receive a nice treat next month when their data feed is turned on. Real Estate Book advertisers will be connected to The Real Estate Book via a live full time, real time, data feed. What does this mean?

Ah, I am so glad you asked. It means, dear one, that your listings will automatically appear in our system in AMS without your having to lift a finger. Price changes, copy corrections... Correct it in the MLS and voila, it will appear online with us.

Listings will continue to be fed to our 30~ online partners!

Now, all you'll need to do is choose what properties you want to run in our book, draft your copy, select your pictures and away you go -- no more redundant data entry.

Thank you Rutherford County Multiple Listing Service Board Members from all of us, to all of you.
