I agree with the basic premise that in this market, with so much competition, one has to distinguish one’s self from the herd. Using slick charts like these is probably a good way to do it. People are visually-oriented, and so I don’t think the information presents a problem in terms of information overload.

Hi Ryan,

I found my way here thru another blog post referencing this article on graphs. I am very much a visual person myself and have to tell you, I think these graphs are super cool! This is an excellent way to represent information that is interesting and easy for all to understand. I may give it a shot, but I do get nervous that I’ll make a mess somehow. Mike, your graphs look great too…good job.

Ryan,

You continue to provide great information both for real estate agents and your customers as well.

Thanks for posting this, I’ve put Jessie to work building something for my site now as well:

Btw, Jessie has made these work on the REW site if you’d like to know how contact him directly. You do not need FTP access. He did it in snippets and works great.

Keep up the great work.

Hey Ryan, you inspired me with this post and I beat my head against a wall until I figured it out. Actually, it wasn’t that bad thanks to this post! Thanks, you rock. I still have some cleaning up to do, but I have made a stab at it here: http://www.reddoorindy.com/indianapolis-real-estate-statistics.php . Let me know what you think.

I tried creating the test page yesterday (also a snippet) but neither worked. I’ll try it again and see if anything changes.

Oh, and then for your dev site, you may create a test page (add new page), test.php and check the box to hide the page. Go into html mode and paste the code or if that doesn’t work, you might try to create a snippet and use the snippet on the test page.

What you will need to try to do is to use the code that you are using to make the charts work and change the path in the URL’s to match the other site. I don’t think the full code will work in a comment, your url’s should look likew this:

amp;dataURL= you may need (http://)www.jolenta.com/FusionCharts/Data/Data.xml&chartWidth=500&chartHeight=500
embed src=”http://www.jolenta.com/FusionCharts/FusionCharts/FCF_Column3D.swf

To reuse this chart in your site with the correct data, just edit the XML file to the data you need.

See if that works. Basically, you just need to make sure that the path is correct to the url’s that it needs to pull the information from…

Okay, so I got the chart working here:

http://jolenta.com/chart.htm

But how do I “pull” that information into my dev site?

Is there an HTML or PHP command line similar to embed? I don’t want to use a bog-standard hyperlink – I want the content to show up automatically.
