		<title>How to restore a WordPress database: I lost my blog and got it back!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past Wednesday, when trying to get to the dashboard to work on my blog, I was surprised to see the WordPress 5-minute installation page instead. I then tried getting to the blog from my spots in the Commentators lists of fellow Alex Jeffreys students, but to no avail: For the fifth time, I had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Improving search engine ranking, second iteration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past few weeks, I have been working on the suggestions in the Website Grader report to improve search engine ranking. In the Off-Page SEO section of the report, besides the all-important inbound links number, there are two seemingly relevant items: being listed in dmoz and in the Yahoo! Directory.
I started with dmoz, as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Improving search engine ranking, first iteration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have found that the All in One SEO Pack plugin and the report I got from Website Grader can complement each other nicely to help me improve the search engine ranking of my blog.
To set up the plugin, the three main fields, Title, Description and Keywords, also known as metadata, can be appropriately filled [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to improve search engine ranking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a most interesting conversation the other day over Skype with my good friend Vance Sova. Since he is much more experienced on internet marketing than I am, it was a great opportunity for me to learn a bit more.
Vance told me about the importance of having links to other blogs or sites that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Revising my business plan: Rehash or redo?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In Module 7, Alex advised us to review our plans and, based on our results to this point, determine how to revise them.
In my case, there was an urgent reason to do so: my original plan has not worked. Going through my notes, I see that the way I stated it was such that it [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to drive traffic to your blog: Forums</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had slowed down (actually, stopped) posting on my blog lately&#8230; After the &#8220;25 Things&#8221; post, which was a challenge, I have been busy trying to figure out how to drive traffic to my blog.
I&#8217;ve chosen two forums for my endeavor: the Warrior Forum, which is one of the widest-known places in the IM field, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to find time to build a blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The biggest problem I&#8217;ve had  since I started working on this blog  is finding time to sit down and  start. It&#8217;s a constant struggle for every post, for every plugin or improvement I want to make.
Having three very young kids and a full time job, I had thought I had  a [...]]]></description>

		<title>An interlude: I was challenged to say 25 things about me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An interesting challenge was thrown out to the community of students of the Alex Jeffreys coaching program. Gary Simpson tagged five people and asked them to list 25 things about themselves in the form of a post in their blogs; those five persons had in turn to tag five more each. The challenge got to [...]]]></description>

		<title>My visitors could not comment (2): customizing post URL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a previous post I talked about the convenience of customizing the posts URL structure to make it more search engine friendly (potentially attracting more traffic to a blog).
But I had not been able to implement that desirable structure without causing my blog to crash when visitors tried to see the comments or leave one&#8230;

		<title>About me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve added a short story in the &#8216;About me&#8216; page of this blog. I just wanted to give visitors an idea about who I am, what I&#8217;ve done before and how it was that I started this blog.
My coach Alex Jeffreys enthusiastically advocates for having this information in a blog. It brings a personal touch [...]]]></description>
