		<description><![CDATA[I have been making websites for a long time now. However, I have never had this many websites demanding my attention at once. I currently have about 5 different communites that need to be updated. Three of them are blogs (including this one).

		<title>A new venture: for people who play guitar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I&#8217;ve expand my website &#038; blog network over the past couple years, I&#8217;ve learned what could be the most important rule: only develop sites that you would visit. It&#8217;s true. I could easily create a decent blog about knitting, but I have no interest in the subject&#8230; Let&#8217;s just say it would be a [...]]]></description>

		<title>April online earnings report</title>

In addition to AdSense and Text-Link-Ads, I signed up for some new ad networks in March including ReviewMe, AuctionAds, AdBrite, and AdVolcano. So far, AdBrite is the only one generating revenue.

Is he losing his edge as the root of all evil? In his latest blog contest he is giving away a brand new Microsoft Zune [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting Kontera ContentLink ads on your site</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The next step in my quest of trying different ad networks was signing up for an in-text ad network. Originally I wanted to use Intellitxt, but they have a stiff pageview requirement that none of my sites currently meet. Luckily, I was able to get in on a special partnership with Kontera that accepts blogs [...]]]></description>

In addition to last month&#8217;s AdSense and Text-Link-Ads, I signed up for number of new advertising services including ReviewMe, AuctionAds, and AdVolcano.

		<title>Finding the motivation to write</title>

It happens to the best of us. Between my three blogs, forums, email, and school work, I get my share [...]]]></description>

		<title>And now, a word from our sponsors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s time to take a moment and recognize our sponsor for the month of March. Showing some love to your website&#8217;s sponsors is good for them and great for you. It was never part of the agreement that Ontora&#8217;s Text-Link-Ad advertisers would get a whole post dedicated to them. However, I like to appreciate my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Make money online without exserting effort</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A particularly easy way to make money online is by syndicating other news sources. This was once a tactic used only by spammers, but it has developed into a popular and legitimate way of making money online.
The idea is pretty basic: using a blog (a free Blogger account will do just fine), you can scrape [...]]]></description>

		<title>Get more traffic with keyword-rich titles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently went back and renamed a ton of articles on one of my content sites. The result of changing a few words has been awesome.
Search engines put a lot of value on titles. The title of an article not only peaks your readers&#8217; interest, it also tells search engines what keywords are important.

		<title>AdSense offers Google Checkout referrals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love referral programs. Google AdSense has been running a referral program for several years now. You can make $1 per Firefox download, or as much as $100 per AdSense publisher. Now, you can make $1 for every user you convert to Google Checkout.
Google Checkout is a convenient payment system for shopping online. Checkout is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Worst in web design: church websites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I honestly don&#8217;t know what it is. Maybe all of the good web designers are atheists? Either way, it’s clear that a lot of churches could use some help with their website.
Here is some of the best of the worst church websites I’ve came across. From animated gifs, to decorated backgrounds and polyphonic midis, these [...]]]></description>

		<title>Auction Ads not doing so well</title>
