		<title>Making The Most of Traffic Spikes</title>

If you keep an eye on your blog stats, sometimes you might notice a traffic spike on a specific post. Usually this spike comes from a link from another blog or website, linking to a meme or a social bookmark. (More on social bookmarking coming soon.)

		<title>Hostgator To The Rescue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Sorry for the technical difficulties and the site being unavailable recently. We had some backend issues that needed to be fixed.
One of us moms here at Mom&#8217;s Blog Resource was convinced she could fix the problem on her own. So she stubbornly refused to ask for help and attempted to do what she could, which wasn&#8217;t much. Finally, she gave in and turned to Hostgator, the hosting company of the site, to see if they could help. Within an hour, one of the Hostgator techs had the site back up ...]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t Forget About Drafts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The nicest thing about the drafts of a blog is that no one will ever see them but you. Until you hit that publish button, you can play around with your drafts as much as you want.
Say you have a great idea for a blog post and a few perfect sentences already written in your mind but no idea where to take it from there. Start a draft post, add those sentences, and then let it sit until you have more time or more thoughts.
Or say you are hit with ...]]></description>
