Our Condolences Go out to Lani Anglin and Family

Our deepest sympathies go out to Lani Anglin and her family. Lani is well known in the real estate blogging family for her writings on BloodHound Blog and her personal blog, RERevealed.

On Saturday, Lani’s brother, Aaron Anglin was killed in a traffic accident — leaving behind his wife and two baby girls. Many of us had the pleasure of “meeting” Aaron just last week when he applied his awesome sense of humor and marketing talent to the real estate world and made us laugh at ourselves.

Please head over to RE Revealed for all the details from April Groves.

Greg Swann has posted details of how you can help at BloodHound Blog.

If you can spare something for them, put it in the form of negotiable funds — cash, cashier’s check or money order — and overnight it to:

Aleisha Anglin
c/o Lani Anglin
2719 Costa Azul Cove
Leander, TX
78641

Our thoughts and prayers are with Lani and her extended family.

Drew, David and the Z-Blog Team

Update: Michael Price is auctioning off a 30 gigabyte iPod, with all proceeds going to Aaron’s family.

Robyn Tippins of MyBlogLog on InmanTV

Since the latest InmanTV episode relates to blogging, I thought I should post it here on the CoRE as well.

CoRE Podcast – Danilo Bogdanovic from real/diaBlog

Danilo BogdanovicThis afternoon, I had the chance to talk with Danilo Bogdanovic, who hosted the 58th edition of the carnival, for this week’s CoRE Podcast. MyBlogLog has certainly done a lot to humanize real estate blogging (and blogging in general), but there’s still nothing like actually speaking to someone. I always enjoy getting on the phone with a carnival host for a podcast, as it brings another human element to blogging that is often missed sitting behind a computer. Hope everyone enjoys the conversation!
