		<title>8 Things You Didn&#8217;t Know About Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ta ever so to Shel Holtz for tagging me on this. I have mixed feelings about blog memes anyway, and none of my blogs is really the kind that such a post is appropriate for, since despite encouraging comments, I&#8217;m really a columnist, not a blogger. But it&#8217;s an interesting sort of challenge to list [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hiring a Ghostwriter 1: Compatibility</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When you hire a ghostwriter to help you with a project, it’s your name and reputation on the line. If you’ve never worked with a ghost before, you might think the most important thing is to find a good writer.
