		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;99.9%&#8221; That&#8217;s how much of the time your web host promises they will keep your website up. If you agree to this, you are ok with almost 9 hours of downtime per year. It&#8217;s a simple calculation: 365.25 days per year times 24 hours per day = 8,766 hours per year times .1% = 8.766 <a href="http://michaeldbower.com/credibility/solutions-for-smb-website-downtime" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

I have used salesforce, Act, email programs, excel spreadsheets, zoho, you name it&#8211;too complicated. Gotta try it. http://bit.ly/rvMFHh]]></description>

EXAMPLE: Joe Smith. After that: People named companies after themselves. EXAMPLE: J.C. Penny Later still: Companies found themselves with names that sounded <a href="http://michaeldbower.com/marketing/picking-a-tie-companys-name" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I only read one email newsletter. Of course I receive more email newsletters than credit card offers by a slim margin. But there&#8217;s only one that I actually READ. It&#8217;s from a font company called MyFonts. I love typography.

		<description><![CDATA[When we started designing the ehrmandate.com, the last thing I wanted was to end up like all the other medical websites that look identically sterile. So that means a flash site, right? Well&#8230;almost. I was thinking of doing something similar to http://drxlr.com, because it&#8217;s simple, has great navigation and is in a word well designed. <a href="http://michaeldbower.com/web-development/jquery/jquery-as-the-key-to-non-sterile-medical-software-websites" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Flash is on its way out.&#8221; I&#8217;m getting tired of hearing it. Saying that we don&#8217;t need Flash anymore because of technologies like HTML5, CSS3 and javascript is like saying that we don&#8217;t need a MacBook Pro because we have an iPad. Really, all we are saying is that it&#8217;s cooler because it&#8217;s newer.
