				<description><![CDATA[This is starting to really come together. :-) As such, it`s a great
time for nitpicking, details, and G&amp;G (Gripes &amp; Grumbles, a

now. So I st]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[That looks much nicer. :-) I`d like to see the Forums button either
moved or replicated on the left side, where standard navigation would
take place.

I think your current activity should focus on site visibility. :-) The
more people you can get involved, asking questions and talking, the
more action the site will generate.
