ARDELL (one name–think Madonna, Cher, Oprah, or The Queen) has the results for Carnival #51 posted at Rain City Guide. Not suprisingly, Ardell applied some strict judging criteria (transparently shared with all) and has found some great posts. Our submission on the "combo agent/lender and half-assed service" garnered 95 points, coming in just behind stellar posts by Brian Brady and Peter Comitini.
Ardell mentions a few nuggets posted by folks I haven't read before, including a couple from Active Rain, proving that there are some great bloggers there amongst the tens of thousands.
Usually I put in a plug for the hosting blog on my "Carnival is Up" posts. But this is Rain City Guide. No plug necessary. RCG stands at or within spitting distance of the summit of real estate blogging.
Gena Riede hosts next week's Carnival on her spiffy, tomatoey Sacramento Real Estate Voice. If you want to play in the Carnival, go here.

A lot of people ask my why I often just use ARDELL all caps. It’s so people get the message that they don’t have to feel the need to remember, pronounce or learn how to spell DellaLoggia.
Of course you got bonus points for saying “half-assed”

“Of course you got bonus points for saying “half-assed””
I suspected as much …
It may turn out to be my personal favorite title. Right now it’s just behind, “On Chicken Little, Booming & Crashing, Insanity and Herd-minded Snakes”
I knew you had a last name, I just can’t remember, pronounce, or spell it… I’ll edit the post to make is all CAPS! *Great* job on the Carnival!

I’m waiting for “Mr. Zeo Points” to say “great job!” LOL

Thanks for the mention, Jay. The Half-Assed, Dual post was one of my favorites. I sometimes comment ad it gets lost in your blog. I commented on that post last week.
Ardell did a great job explaining her objective grading system on Active Rain the day before she judged so a hat tip to her work on the Carnival.
True to form, she even explained why we “lost” points; kind of made me feel like I was back in grade school again.
Sister Ardell? No…that’s TOO wacky.

Well that’s very disturbing… I looked through my spam logs and don’t see anything there (not that you’re a spammer of course!). I have no idea what happened. Please let me know if you see this again!
