2. At the bottom of the page, click the tab 'build a widget for zip ______ (I used 28226 for my sample below).

3. You can choose a color theme in the left column if you'd like or you can just use the default.

4. (I know, I said 1-2-3!) Now, accept the 'Terms of Service.'

5. Cut and paste the HTML code to your website or blog! VERY SIMPLE! And Buyers LOVE this information! They can click on the widget and get detailed information that is in spreadsheet format.

Here is a sample of my zip search:

Me-YOW! Carolina Panthers Improve Record to 9-3 Today!

ME-YOW!  Carolina Panthers Improve Record to 9-3 Today!

Our Carolina Panthers 'packed away' the Packers today (sorry Greg!) at the Packer's home to improve their away record to 3-3 and overall record to 9-3 today. Now ranked THIRD in the NFL and FIRST in the NFC South, the 
Panthers are now in position to hold their own and look forward to an incredible post-season!  (I know I'm still ahead of the game [no pun intended!] but, the Panthers are REALLY looking good).  

Carolina PanthersLast weeks game in Atlanta was another reality check for the 
Panthers and the team came out today with their claws out!  Steve Smith, Deangelo Williams and Jake Delhomme all had awesome games for the Panthers.

Carolina PanthersJulius Peppers, Nick Goings & Jon Beason's last minute interception punctuated an incredible team effort with a great defensive stance.  The 
Panthers defense, ranked third in the NFL all really showed their stuff today!

And, of course there's Kasay--the entire team--all had an awesome game today, a 35-31 win!  We're looking forward to hosting the Tampa Bay next week...I predict a Cardiac Cats win!

Give Thanks This Day...

Happy Thanksgiving from Charlotte NC

Give ThanksA North American tradition, established by the Plymouth Colonists and the Wampanoag Indians, Thanksgiving is the time of year that we all reflect upon our blessings.  The Colonists and Native American Indians joined to celebrate and cooperate their harvest and to give thanks for the bounty of crops.  The creation of this tradition is one which I'm very thankful for personally.  Our families unite and those who aren't able to be together phone one another (or now, email!).  It's a time to celebrate the culmination of our blessings each year.


Even in difficult economic times, we have so much in which to give thanks.  While you're remembering your own family this year in your blessings, pray for those who have less than you as well.  Remember them as you begin your holiday shopping by picking up a little something extra to donate to the shelters.  


Homelessness

While you're feasting upon YOUR bounty, unite once again as a family and make the decision to adopt a family.
 Adopting a family is SUCH a wonderful project for a family to undertake and I think you'll find that there's more 'reward' in family adoption than you can imagine!


Contact your local shelters or a local social worker or even a home care facility and they can assist you in finding a family to adopt.  Believe me, you'll be glad you did!




Bless you and yours this Thanksgiving day.


Debe in Charlotte
