		<title>Website Disasters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What frustrates me most about maintaining a website is my lack of control over the host server. Over the past couple of years, MikiCatdesigns.com was hosted by a server that, well, let&#8217;s just say it wasn&#8217;t/isn&#8217;t the most stable server in town. In fact, I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;re even in town which is another reason [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not My Style</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;That&#8217;s not my style.&#8221; How many times have you heard that from others or said it yourself? But personal &#8220;style&#8221;, just like our taste buds, change constantly. There was a rule at our dinner table when I was growing up&#8230; &#8220;You don&#8217;t have to eat but you must taste.&#8221; It didn&#8217;t matter if we&#8217;d had [...]]]></description>

		<title>How do you thank an open heart?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been spending the last few weeks diligently working on redesigning my studio space to fit in the new jeweler&#8217;s bench I recently purchased. But with my bad back, it&#8217;s been a slow process. I have to thank, publicly, my new friend, Deborah, who I met through the Yahoo Group, FloridaBeaders. This woman has generously [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eyes Wide Shut?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been living in South Florida for over 30 years now. So, I guess many would consider me a native. I mean, after 30 years, if you&#8217;re not a native, what are you? But I was born and bred in New York and they do say you can take the girl out of NY but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Busy New Year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a busy holiday and New Year for me. Part of why I haven&#8217;t written anything is because I have a day job. And I spend most of the day on the computer. When I come home, the last thing I want to do is spend more time online. So I&#8217;ve been neglecting you [...]]]></description>
