		<title>Some random thoughts on forums</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Forums can be strange things. Many are very quiet. For instance, Martin Avis has a forum that gets only a few posts a week. It&#8217;s still worth reading because so many of the posts are so very good. I post there occasionally myself. Not very often I thought but then I was astonished to see [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t market to me &#8211; I&#8217;m a marketer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I used to train teachers for a living. One thing I noticed was that they hated doing pair activities and small group work as part of their training. Yet these were the same techniques that they used a lot in their own classrooms because they knew they worked.
Today on the Warrior Forum, there is another example [...]]]></description>

		<title>A great way of syndicating your articles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been fed up for some time with the return I get on articles I syndicate. One problem is that you can usually only put your link into a box at the bottom of the post and not onto good text within the post. A related problem is that far too many people just delete [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Economy IS Doing Badly &#8211; Whatever They Might Say</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I keep reading comments and getting emails stating that the economy is not in a bad state. Guess what breed of low-lifes are publishing this message &#8211; Internet Marketers. Now I&#8217;m prepared to admit that the rocky times ahead will be good for the &#8216;gurus&#8217; . More and more desperate people are going to come [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fight the Good Fight?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last year I stupidly signed up for one of those instant site-making tools. (I was at a conference and all my friends were buying it &#8211; you get the picture.) I agreed to pay several hundred dollars up-front and 99 dollars a month fee.  When I got home and started to use the program, it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Automatic Social Bookmarkers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been tempted to stray on the dark side recently.
It&#8217;s hard work writing articles all the time though the benefits in terms of visitors to your site is excellent. That&#8217;s why any &#8216;automatic&#8217; system which can give your rankings as big a push as article marketing seems so worthwhile. Pay 97 dollars a month, press [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bah Humbug</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just spent the whole day trying to set up all the recent tools I&#8217;ve bought for my sites. I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ve missed some. Memo to self &#8211; stop buying WSOs.
