		<description><![CDATA[I don’t know if I’d call it a “new trend” or perhaps a new movement in how moms are taking over the Internet space but more and more I see mom bloggers starting their own online communities or managing other online communities. Most of the communities they are managing or claiming the title of “community manager” for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was driving the other day just bopping along to the radio when a commercial came on that made me stand up and take notice. It was the first time I&#8217;d ever heard a radio spot promoting Constant Contact. Constant Contact is a newsletter platform that allows you to deliver your newsletter through email.

		<description><![CDATA[Whenever I approach a potential project, be it blogging, product reviewing, a web page or a news story, I have the mindset that whomever I am reporting to should and needs to proof my work. I think this way because I&#8217;m a writer, it&#8217;s who I am. No project goes published without a second set [...]]]></description>
