There is no better time to buy real estate than today!  Donald Trump calls this the best market that he has seen in years.   If you are getting involved in real estate a website is one of the most important things that you will need.   I thought I would write a guide to building a Real Estate Website as easy as 1-2-3.

Step 1:   Purchase Real Estate Web Hosting
The first step to having a Real Estate Website is to purchase web hosting.  When purchasing web hosting I suggest that you go through BlueHost due to their great customer support and extremely low pricing.  Bluehost supports WordPress web hosting and this is essential to starting your real estate website.  By clicking on our exclusive link you can get web hosting for only $3.95 a month which is about the best you can get!

Step 2:   Install WordPress For Free
After purchasing web hosting with Bluehost you will need to log into your account.  Once you login you will see a button called "WordPress".  Bluehost is a great web host because they install wordpress for you saving you hours.  Just click the Wordpress button and install the free application on your server.

Step 3:  Download and Install A Real Estate Website Theme
By downloading a free Real Estate Website theme you can get a professional website design without even having to do any coding.  To find the perfect FREE Real Estate website I suggest looking at these 17 Real Estate templates and choose which ever one you like the most.  You can also search on Google for Free Real Estate website themes.  Once you find a theme all you have to do is download it, extract the zip file, and copy the folder to the WP-Content>Themes folder.   Once you have installed the theme the rest is as easy as 1-2-3... Login to your free wordpress account and type in your business information (easy as writing an email).

Building a Real Estate Website Is EASY!  Follow these steps and you can create your Real Estate website in a matter of an hour or two for only $3.95 a month.  Remember to get started you must purchase web hosting and you can get this at BlueHost for cheap!

As Christmas coming, it would be a great gift to present to all the i3Theme fans and here it is: the i3Theme 1.5. Nothing major has changed except that I have fixed quite a few bugs and guess what? It's now compatible with version before WordPress 2.3. I hope this is a great feature for the non-english WordPress as I believe they are a little behind the english version.

Not only that, I have finally fixed the major problem in IE6 where widgets or images that larger than the sidebar width will pushes the rest of the boxes or main content down. Hope everyone will have little problems with this new release.

Below's a list of changes made:

• SEO-friendly header title
• Enable hierarchical structure for category's sidebar (for Widgets, use the 'Categories' widget)
• Bug Fixed: (Only in IE6) Information overflow in the sidebar destroy the layout
• Bug Fixed: Next/Previous link display the same [special thanks to Jamie]
• Bug Fixed: Category icons missing when using Widgets' categories
• Bug Fixed: Unable to work in WordPress 2.2 or lower [special thanks to mat]

Lastly, I would like to announce that i3Theme has 19,648 downloads since the first release of i3Theme. I hope by Christmas, it will hit the 20,000 mark.

Till then, Merry Christmas to everyone!

Within 2 months, i3Theme has jump from 9,500 downloads to over 15,000 downloads. It shocked me as well, but I'm very glad that everyone loves it. Such continual support has enable me to keep working harder to improve the i3Theme.

Here it is, the next release of the i3Theme, version 1.4. I'm sorry that it took quite a while for me to come out with this release as I was busy finishing up my project assignments as well as preparing for my upcoming final exam.

So, you might be asking, what's new and what's fix...

1. Availability of author credential of each post
   Now you will be able to see whose the author of the post. Thanks to Ken's request and donation.
2. Improved blog header title with better navigation information
3. Able to handle multiple rows of the sub-navigation page (click below to enlarge)
   
4. Able to handle 2 times (over 2000px in height) the current maximum number of items in the box
5. BUG FIXED: Wrong function name used, bloginfo() instead of get_bloginfo() [original iTheme code]

I hope you guys like it and continue to give me the support by downloading the latest i3Theme. More things coming up in December 2007. Keep a look out.

Lastly, kudos to i3Theme users.

Today, I'm very happy to announce that i3Theme has gathered over 9,500 downloads ever since it's first release on 5th May 2007. I have received many reviews and feedbacks about the theme and I'm glad that it has made quite an impact in the blogging arena. Some of them even expressed that because of i3Theme, they are motivated to do more work!

It's been a difficult time for me, juggling my new business, Exoro, studies as well as giving support for the i3Theme. I'm very thankful for those who have been patient with my slow replies and would like to apologize to those who had urgent requests but I couldn't attend to them. Nonetheless, it's all of you who have made i3Theme a great success.

I personally would like to thank the i3Theme donators: staticbrain, The Wood Whisperer and Qikflo. Their contributions have motivated me to continue to provide my best possible support for i3Theme. In addition, I would like to acknowledge Web Hosting Geeks, for its strong support for the i3Theme as well as the upcoming release. I hope all the i3Theme fans out there can benefit from the great reviews they have for web hostings when you are searching for one to host your wordpress with i3Theme

Besides all the thanking, I would also like to announce the release of the latest i3Theme v1.3. It has been fully tested with the major four browsers as well as the latest wordpress 2.3. It even supports tagging, the latest feature in Wordpress 2.3. So go ahead and upgrade your blog to the latest i3Theme with no worries. Feel free to see the changes at the changelog.

Thank you for continuing to support the i3Theme and I look forward to your feedback. If you love the i3Theme and want to contribute to its development, feel free to donate! Thanks a million.
