Say hello to three new weblets added to a large and growing selection of myRealPage website components. The three new arrivals are:

• Twitter Profile weblet : a customizable widget that shows your tweets
• Facebook Like Box : a customizable widget that shows activity on your Facebook Page
• Google Translate : a widget that displays a “translate” drop-down menu and uses Google Translate service to translate your website pages into a variety of languages

It was possible to add these weblets to your myRealPage websites in the past, but you had to copy-and-paste a bunch of codes and if you wanted to change anything you had to start from scratch. We thought we could do better…. The new weblets will now let you integrate these tools into your websites very easily; and you can always come back later and change their settings without any copy-and-pasting.

You can find the new weblets in the “General” section or simply by typing their names into the search box.

Let us know what you think about these new weblets: we hope you will put them to good use. Email us your thoughts and feedback to feedback@myrealpage.com

We have just introduced a series of new updates in response to the latest developments in the Social Media realm. As you may have heard, Google recently launched Google+ service for social media networking and even though it’s still very new, it has been getting a lot of traction. Along with this service, Google has also released +1 button for publishers to help people share useful links.

To help our clients take advantage of these new developments, and as an opportunity to update our products’ support of social media, we have introduced the following updates:

• Support for Google+ profiles in your website(s)
• Support for Google +1 button in your blog(s)
• Support for Social Media sharing in your listings, including Google +1 button
• Updated social media buttons’ look, as well as the “Tweet” button to use native Twitter interface without any 3rd parties

So how do you take advantage of these new features?

Well, first of all, please login into our new web-based Private Office at http://private-office.myrealpage.com (read more on the new web based Private Office here) and then follow the screenshots for guidance:

We are very pleased to add a tightly integrated support for Social Media links to your website with myRealPage. We have extended our Site Settings dialog to include a tab for “Social Media” where you can add links to your accounts with:

Once you fill in your Social Media links into the Site Settings and publish them, they will appear in your “Contact Info” weblet, as well as in “Contact Form” (if it’s configured to display your contact information). You can even place another Contact Info weblet where you like on your page and specify to hide everything in it, except the Social Media icons, if you would like a better control over how to show these links.

For brokers:

We have also added support for social media icons to the “Agent Directory” weblet which is mostly of interest to brokers that have myRealPage websites. You can now add Social Media links for each of your agent. The icons with these links will appear in the Agent Directory listings, as well as in all Instant Agent websites.
