The content editor did not go to the update page for saving changes to brochure content. The page has been fixed. Thanks for the heads up, Sherry.

Hard Copy Invoicing Ends
As the Post Office says, email and the Internet are “killing us”. Thus, beginning 2012 you will not receive invoices from Real Connect by mail. Invoices will be sent to you in an email message. When brochures are included, we may slip the invoice into those shipments. In any case, you can always retrieve copies online by logging into this system.
What’s New
Beside changing our name and website URL, several other routines have changed or been eliminated. Most routines have been improved and streamlined. Our goal is to be 100% focused on helping sell the individual properties you enroll with our photographers.
At this time our photographer staff remains at one. Real Connect was engineered to work with more and may offer additional photographer choices in the near future.
NEW Offerings from Real Connect
- Intuitive ordering interface for scheduling photography with “real-time” pricing as packages and options are selected. NO MORE listing price surcharges!
- New HDR (High Definition) photography options. HDR provides extreme sharpness and color definition not found with normal digital flash photography.
- Free property websites established for Google indexing
- Expanded and innovative slideshow presentations posted to TEMPO & Realtor.com
- Use “alternative office contact” for photography responsibility.
- Online brochure printing from PDF files for easy print setup
- Increased “thumbnail” size option when viewing and selecting photos
By moving our website to a “WordPress” open source platform we are incorporating millions of programmers into our range of capabilities. We believe this fact alone will provide our customers a much improved online experience.
Entergy Power Failure
Electicity went down around 4:00 PM. I did not fire up the generators because Entergy said they would be back online at 5:40 PM. After 6:00 PM past, I did fire up the generator and ran the system on backup power until 7:20 PM when the power was restored.
Hard Drive Expansion Maintenance
I was intending to simply add another 300 Gb to the virtual disk that stores all your photos. The addition went along as planned, but it took 13 hours to come back online as the array of hard drives had to syc with the new one. The addition should buy a couple more years.
Verizon Network Failure
Part of our site went down about 3:00 PM today. Our telephones went down as well. Verizon suffered a complete system failure. Even though we do not use Verizon as our Internet Service Provider, our cable to Consolidated runs through their territory. The information section of the website is working because it is hosted on a “cloud” server somewhere on Earth. The Interactive section does not work.
