		<title>Promotional T-shirts have to be the right size and not muddy!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the latest installment in the gripping serialization of promoting my Devon directory. You know, when I started putting this journal online I was worried it might catch up with me - no chance, it seems to be getting further behind all the time! 
In any case, this entry sees more of the earliest [...]]]></description>

		<title>Breaking an International News Story was fun!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What an insane couple of weeks I&#8217;ve had - sometimes everything happens at once!

One of the sites I&#8217;ve been working on at my part time job, which has seemed to be about to launch for months, has finally taken the plunge. My uncle asked me to set up a gallery for their wedding photos, which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do I really miss my Second Life character?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For a while I was testing out the virtual world / MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role playing game) that is Second Life, just exploring and trying to figure out what it was about. I had a window in the background all the time, where my character was dancing around, camping and earning Linden Dollars at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Still fixing and tuning the website, but also collected my car stickers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Summary: I kept a diary while launching a Devon business directory / community website. This is part of it.
Diary from 4th Oct 2007:  Collected my car window stickers from Devon Signs. They actually look really good, very clear. But I do feel a little nervous still about advertising to the people around me, as [...]]]></description>

		<title>I find some advice on directories from Webmaster World</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Diary from Thurs 4th Oct 2007: Read some directory related threads on Webmaster world - looks like many people have a hard time with these, but it was comforting to read these posts from people further down the road&#8230;

One recommendation I will definitely follow is to add companies yourself. (see the thread here: http://www.webmasterworld.com/directories/3404944.htm )

		<title>Pizza (.com) sells for $2.6 million</title>
		<description><![CDATA[14 years ago, Chris Clark, who now runs an American software company, bought the &#8216;pizza.com&#8217; domain for just $20. He thought it would help him get a contract with a pizza company&#8230; 

Well I guess it did in the end, but a much better one than he was originally hoping for - after hearing illion [...]]]></description>

		<title>I experience the horrors of Google PageRank 0 and miss the point of my stress course&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Background: I’ve been launching and promoting a Web 2.0 Devon business directory. 
I threw myself in at the deep end with this: it was my first completed Joomla / Web 2.0 site and had a budget of practically zero (I practised things on it for work!). It was also my first experience of doing my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Turning a corner with my web directory: a change in focus and attitude</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Background: I’ve been launching and promoting a Web 2.0 Devon directory, which promotes arts and environmental concerns alongside general clubs, blogs and business listings. Things had been through a stressful and stormy patch, but I think these few days in the diary mark a turning point, during which my attitude changed and became tougher.

		<title>Experiments with social bookmarking: the beginning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is Web 2.0 just a load of hype? I have my suspicions that it doesn&#8217;t make money, but some aspects do have potential for website owners. Both RSS Feeds and social bookmarking seem promising to me (at least, if it&#8217;s Facebook, now that so many people are on Facebook). So I thought I&#8217;d give it [...]]]></description>

		<title>The end of an online community?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A sad thing has happened: an online community website I have visited on and off for the last couple of years appears to have finally given up the ghost. Personally I blame Digg (where some of the members turned up instead) and Facebook, which had a massive rise in popularity last summer (when I found [...]]]></description>
