		<description><![CDATA[ok, so I have this limitation with my email server. I can&#8217;t seem to send both text and html. And I keep getting these REALLY annoyed subscribers sending me notes saying they are only getting boxes with crosses in it.
How can I bridge this gap? How do I get people to understand they need to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[hello! I was just looking through Google Analytics, and realized some interesting data&#8230; When people come in using Safari, they spend twice as much time as they do coming in using Explorer or Firefox. Hmm! This is a tough one for me to trouble shoot because I&#8217;m on a Mac, and when I proof the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t had the time to redo my masthead as reported as a must do in a previous blog. Everyone in my house is sick right now, and I&#8217;m feeling like every time I do ANYTHING!! it&#8217;s really for nothing because it&#8217;s immediately undone.
This statement is true for the business, it&#8217;s true for my home, [...]]]></description>

I feel like all I do right now is send out direct mail, and wait for the orders to come in. It&#8217;s time to reevaluate the plan. It&#8217;s time to freshen [...]]]></description>
