So I got an email with a link to a featured news story about the website this morning from wtopnews.com, one of the biggest news radio stations around Washington DC. Later in the day, when I checked our visit counter, I noticed a significant spike in traffic from that area, so I decided to further investigate and low and behold the site was featured in their top news stories!

I have since downloaded the podcast and found where they mentioned us. I should have it uploaded here soon for archival purposes.

Also, if you havent already, head on over to the forum and post something. Our goal is to start a community of yard sale enthusiasts from around the globe and we need you!

hey guys! Its late at night so I have to type quietly or else wake up my wife! Anyway, I have lots to write about but not much time so Ill keep it focused.

A few website updates:

1. I added a new sale counter in the upper left of all pages showing exactly how many sales there are. Its updated every night so the number is always less than whats actually posted.
2. Also, I kept getting emails from people that couldn’t post their sale due to Google maps not recognizing their address. I finally impemented a workaround to this problem that allows people to define their own address using a drag and drop style marker. Hopefully that will cut way down on support emails!
3. Much more updates are in the works all around improving the user interface. The site is going to be 500% better after these changes are implemented. So check back often!

Now to the fun stuff, we are working on a new project called Weekend Treasure Videos. Each week we will post at least one video of our latest yard sale exploits, good deals, bad deals, what to look for, what to avoid, and random yard sale stuff. We already have the first two episodes produced. The latest one will always be on the homepage. Click here to view our YouTube profile of videos.
