Less is more. I cleaned up some links from blogs that went dark, and added a few new feeds. This includes feeds from lenderama's new list of contributing bloggers.

02-19-2007 - Newest Version
Another new version is up. Some new blogs have been included like Bliss Sawyer's Marketing Blog and a few feeds were removed as they appeared to be stagnate. In the news section, I added a "Latest Mortgage Rates" that pulls trending data from BankRate. Broker Outpost's Reference Library was also added to the training section.

I just made some minor tweaks. You can now see blog headlines from LOTECH, MortgageVox, Savage Insights, and Mortgages Undressed. I also changed the forum section a little bit. The newest version will download automatically when using the installation instructions.

New Version! Download now!
Mortgage Bookmarks 2.0 is up and running. While the original bookmarks script will continue to update, the new one has even more functionality. Here's a rundown of the changes:
Google Blog Search Feeds - Google generates an RSS feed for every query performed in it's new Blog Search Engine. The feed is constantly updated with the latest search. Bookmarks syndicates searches for Mortgage, Real Estate, Interest Rates, Fraud and more.You download the new version, just like the old one. Just follow the installation instructs linked here on the blog.
Training Section - With the new open source manual project underway, Training has been given it's own section. You'll see the latest additions to the project, interesting links from around the net, and some of my the highlighted training posts from the lenderama blog.
More Blog Feeds - I've found a few more helpful resources like Broker Network, Realty Blogging and Matrix. Plus I've included a special "Hot Posts" section of articles I recommend. It's the same list found in my From The RE&M Blogosphere section.

What's this all about?
The live Mortgage Bookmarks tool.
Do you use the Firefox web browser? Would you like to import a list of hundreds of mortgage links, including the latest news all updated automatically? Read on.
This tool is a creation of mine that I'm sharing with other mortgage professionals. It's a directory of web sites specific to mortgage brokers and other industry professionals. Linked within the bookmark list are processors, forums, wholesale lender web sites and much much more.
The best part about these bookmarks are that they are LIVE! They call on a new technology called RSS. News, Blogs, and even forum posts are updated regularly. All of the links in the directory are as well. This means, that when I find a new link and save it, you will see it automatically. The whole premise works off of a feature in Firefox called Live Bookmarking. To use this feature, download the Firefox web browser and then follow my installation instructions.
