Creating City Pages with WordPress – Local Market Explorer WP Plugin
If you are running a WordPress blog focused on real estate, there is a new plugin (I think) is worth taking a look at — Local Market Explorer. The plugin creates “city pages” inside of the WordPress interface and pulls school data from Education.com, local amenity data from Yelp, photos from Flickr, and real estate market statistics and recently sold information from the Zillow API. Download the plugin in the WordPress plugin directory. Here are several sample city pages:
Full disclosure: I was in charge of coordinating this project on behalf of my employer, Zillow.com and we announced the plugin on Zillow Blog yesterday. The plugin was built by Jonathan Mabe and Andrew Mattie (Andrew contributes to Geek Estate), both of whom have day jobs with Diverse Solutions.

Posted at 06:46h, 14 AugustI've seen this in action, and I love the integrations of all the APIs. Just can't seem to make it work correctly yet. Installed it on http://lkunionhomes.com, added all of the API keys, even changed my theme a couple of times to see if it was somehow affecting it. A clue may be that if you look at the title for my first city page, it's always missing its link, then all of the other cities are linked (but don't work). Same result even changing cities around. Anyone?

Posted at 07:50h, 18 AugustIt seems like a good idea, but as you can see when I visited your Los Angeles page, I learned a “little extra” about LA.

The reason for this, is that flickr is an open system, and what people tag on their photos may not(most likely will not) be just pictures of city skylines…
