Being fortunate enough to have a weekend without open houses or clients to take out, I canceled all social obligations and hid from the heat wave in my apartment. It gave me the time and mental energy to do something I’ve been postponing for ages: organize my website.
Over the past year and a half I have written 80 posts and published one guest submission, which took me completely by surprise when I actually went through it all. But nothing was organized, and my site was mostly used as a catch-all for links that I shared via social or newsletters. This weekend I went through each post to add tags and categories; separated out my site into resources for Tenants (and, to a lesser extent, landlords), Buyers, and Sellers; answered FAQ’s for each aforementioned group for easy reference; added an Events page; updated my contact, bio, and testimonials; and set up an index (by topic) and archive (by date). Jury’s still out on how best to include my recent transactions, but that’s coming….eventually.
Going through everything also allowed me to assess where I need more content and think about the scope of annaklenkar.com going forward. This site is not a 100% “how to” guide, so I’ve tried to answer most basic questions up front, then pointed interested parties to further reading related to (but not directly answering) each question. Because I want this to be helpful if you’re looking for a quick answer, but also enjoyable if you want to read something random about my feelings towards Amazon and LIC or what the Gateway program is. Think of it as a combination of the Real Estate and Opinion sections of the NY Times (but with no editors or oversight and I’m not an NYT-level writer).
If you have any feedback, other additions you’d like to see, or want to scold me for spending 18 hours on my computer on a sunny day, you know I always want to hear from you.
Now go exploring!
