		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps nothing is more puzzling, misunderstood or causes eyebrows to twitch faster than the concept of blogging.  Tell someone you publish a regular “blog” (the term derived from the contracted form of “Web  log”) and they’re just likely to back away from you slowly for fear that you will suddenly erupt into a rant.

		<description><![CDATA[Much of the Michael Saunders &#038; Company Reinvent Yourself 09 conference held last week pushed the notion that the fundamentals of the real estate industry, specifically the way we market property is and will be changing drastically over the near future.
