		<description><![CDATA[Blogging to me, is a strong source of therapy and self-discovery. Have you ever thought of starting a personal blog? Well it&#8217;s never a bad time to start! Don&#8217;t start a blog solely to make money if it&#8217;s your first. Try starting a casual/personal blog first to see how you&#8217;ll like it first because it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone complains how Twitter sucks but that&#8217;s because it&#8217;s hard to get into if: You&#8217;re not into the social media scene. You don&#8217;t understand the benefits of Twitter (or just the web in general). You don&#8217;t know any interesting/helpful people to follow. You think Twitter is only about &#8220;what you&#8217;re doing.&#8221; You only joined Twitter [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Coolest Blog powered by WordPress competition got me thinking: WHAT THE HELL IS COOL? The competition in itself is extremely vague because everyone&#8217;s definition of cool is different. Is it the design that makes it cool? The blogger&#8217;s personality? The writing style? Nicely designed blogs are super cool but to me, a &#8220;COOL&#8221; blog [...]]]></description>
