		<title>Gravatar: What it is, why you want one &amp; how to get it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What the heck&#8217;s a gravatar? And why do you want one? You know those little images you see next to some people&#8217;s comments on blogs? Those are called &#8220;avatars.&#8221; (Yep, just like the blockbuster 3D movie from this past year.) A Gravatar is a name for Globally Recognized Avatars. While Gravatars aren&#8217;t really quite &#8220;globally&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>5 Steps to Start Building a Great Blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are a small business owner and not a writer, starting and maintaining a blog can seem like a daunting task. It doesn’t have to be. How do I know this?

		<title>Distinctly West Coast goes far with a Smoothie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m excited to watch the Distinctly West Coast team really rock their new Smoothie website. It&#8217;s a wonderful example of what you can do with a strong concept, style and content. There&#8217;s a ton of travel ideas on this site, yet it&#8217;s all easy to find because the Smoothie automatically adds newly-built pages to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>How accessible is your website?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The web is a complex place to navigate at the best of times, no? Poorly written or outdated content, flashing ads trying to get your attention, cryptic links that don&#8217;t tell you what&#8217;s after the click (fondly known as &#8220;mystery meat navigation&#8221; in my house). Then there&#8217;s even more to learn if you decide to [...]]]></description>

		<title>What should you write about in your blog?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Figuring out what to write about at your blog can be tricky. You might have so many ideas that you don&#8217;t know where to start. Or you might feel like you have no ideas at all. Lots of us fall into that category. You stare at your computer screen and think, &#8220;I have nothing to [...]]]></description>

		<title>How do you find a good website address (domain name)?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m working with a Smoothie client who hasn&#8217;t got his domain name yet. (a.k.a. his &#8220;dot com&#8221;, his URL, or his thisguyrocks.com address.) And he mentioned he&#8217;s trying to figure out what it should be. I thought some of you might be going through the same thing so I&#8217;d offer some of my ideas and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google Analytics: How to get signed up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The video below does a nice job of explaining the basics of getting started with Google Analytics. Note that if we&#8217;re building your site, you only have to worry about the first part&#8211;just getting signed up. Your Smoothie Mixmasters will take care of the rest (copying the code and putting it where it belongs). Feel [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stop the epic time suck that is stock photo searching</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve spent any time searching online for a photo for your website, you know that it&#8217;s a deep, dark cave of wonders. Before you know it, you&#8217;re looking at alien autopsy photos when you really should be looking for a simple image of a teapot. I could spend all day browsing images online and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Go on a wilderness trip to help your business?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the things that clients often don&#8217;t put enough attention or resources into is what they&#8217;re going to say. You know, the words on the site that tell people what you&#8217;re all about and why they should care and what to do next. Or the pictures that support your content. Figuring out your key [...]]]></description>

		<title>Website Envy: How to get your visuals to look like those sites you lust after</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was a kid, my parents used to drag us through model homes on the weekends. They weren&#8217;t looking to move, they just wanted to see what was new and fabulous. I used to get kid&#8217;s room envy. Big time. The rooms were always immaculate, with the coolest beds. A pirate ship? They have [...]]]></description>
