		<title>Useful tools: Netted</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are lots of little things that help me do my work or keep up to speed with the online world on a day-to-day basis. I thought it would be handy to share these as I think about them or as a new one comes to light.
They&#8217;re not all technically &#8216;tools&#8217;, but if they help [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m not sure what you&#8217;re on about&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nice rant in the newspaper recently about the art world&#8217;s inability to discuss its works in a way that normal people can understand. But as one poster so accurately put it:
It&#8217;s not just the art field; it&#8217;s most fields. People should be able to express complex ideas plainly, but they confuse complexity of language with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Writer? Then you&#8217;ll know Muphry&#8217;s Law</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nope, it&#8217;s not a typo. But if you&#8217;re somebody who writes for a living you&#8217;ll more than likely be well acquainted with Muphry&#8217;s Law. Earlier this week was the first time I&#8217;d heard about it, but I found myself chuckling inwardly and nodding my head sagely.
Muphry&#8217;s Law as defined by Wikipedia is:
&#8230;an adage that states [...]]]></description>

		<title>Learning languages online</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As if I needed another distraction, this week I discovered Busuu.com. It calls itself a &#8216;language learning community&#8217; and is basically another social network with a twist: you create a profile for yourself and add details of the languages you&#8217;re learning.
Busuu.com offers courses in English, Spanish, French, German and Italian at the moment. As well [...]]]></description>

		<title>Online PR guidelines for &#8216;print&#8217; people</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re interested in content and you&#8217;re not a member already, I&#8217;d recommend joining the Content Strategy Google group. Many well-known (in content terms, at least!) names pop up regularly on there, contributing to a range of interesting discussions.
One such person is Ginny Redish, who recently responded to a query on online media centres or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just say what you mean</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why faff around with pompous-sounding words that don&#8217;t help the reader and probably aren&#8217;t even used correctly? The use of &#8217;seeking&#8217; has popped (maybe &#8216;pooped&#8217; would be more appropriate!) up again today and it seems to be a bit of a trend in business writing.
On this occasion, it&#8217;s the Guardian&#8217;s new Sustainable Business section (a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Picture it: Flukle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An email popped into my inbox this morning about another social media tool, Flukle. I don&#8217;t remember signing up to receive information but that doesn&#8217;t mean a thing &#8211; there seems to be something new every week. But I digress&#8230;
With Flukle, you can &#8217;share where you are, and what you&#8217;re doing, in real-time, through photos&#8217;. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Social media: not so shiny anymore</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Because I&#8217;m a web copywriter, it&#8217;s almost an obligation to be involved with social media. It&#8217;s one of those things that we should understand and &#8216;get&#8217;. I have profiles on the standard hat trick of networks: Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. And I&#8217;m starting to get a bit, well, bored. Of (gasp) Twitter in particular.
It&#8217;s a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is bad English better than no English at all?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m really not sure. I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if the end result is the same: nobody finds your website.
I&#8217;m talking about the English content offered by many websites that have a different primary language. The internet&#8217;s great because it opens up your business to many more people, who speak many different languages. But it really [...]]]></description>

		<title>Choosing a &#8216;green&#8217; laptop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We all need to play our part in moving towards a &#8216;greener&#8217;, more sustainable lifestyle. This covers every part of our daily lives, including work. I&#8217;m in the market for a new laptop, so I&#8217;ve decided to try to go green and I&#8217;ve been researching my options.
I&#8217;m not a computer expert but I am technically [...]]]></description>
