]]> Comment on Only 15 photos? by Ben K http://realestate.mattgoyer.com/2008/06/30/only-15-photos/#comment-8800 Ben K Sat, 05 Jul 2008 21:57:09 +0000 http://realestate.mattgoyer.com/?p=247#comment-8800 "It’d also be great NWMLS members would put their open house times not just on their own site but inputted them into the MLS as well." I second that! I don't fully understand why companies opt out of widely publicizing open houses. Yes it forces people to the company website but in the end it disadvantages the sellers and listing agents. BTW, JLS allows unlimited photos. “It’d also be great NWMLS members would put their open house times not just on their own site but inputted them into the MLS as well.”

As for the "jumping out" problem, just lighten all the other colors in the graph, like Apple's Numbers does by default. Make the black lines grey, the black numbers grey, and subdue the colors of the lines slightly. White looks better.

It has a lighter feel to the page, rather then being heavy. It could be simply the color style of this blog, and that if you threw up the chart onto a site with a completely different color scheme it would look better with a grey background. And it also (because the lines are thinner I think) looks more precise. Not that the data is different at all, but it *appears* that the chart with white background/thinner lines is plotting more data points. Perhaps I have a negative reaction to the grey chart because it looks too similar to a default excel chart for my tastes. Just my 2 cents I prefer the white background for the simple fact that it “looks” lighter.

We, of course, did not blanket spam our Microsoft user base. Microsoft's block of our static image CDN server was merely coincidental.

BTW - If you were really familiar with Microsoft or the Eastside, you would know that it is not located at Azteca. BTW - I've had Microsoft clients who use Redfin (and John L. Scott) to search for homes and then call me to show them. They know I'll provide better service and rebate just as much. Of course your spam (and anyone else’s) should be shut down.
