		<title>10000 Facebook Fans in 2010 Campaign</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Since starting up a Facebook Fan page about six months ago, I have (as of this moment) a modest 746 Facebook Fans; many of these are friends of friends, but a few of them are complete strangers who have found my page and become a fan. I&#8217;ve come to realize that I want Facebook to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Matt Held Facebook Portraits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My dad sent me a link to an article about Matt Held, who has gained a modicum of fame by painting Facebook portraits; if you join his online group &#8211; giving him permission to paint you &#8211; he&#8217;ll search through your pictures and look for something that jumps out at him. My response to his [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oil Painting Lessons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
在討論許久之後，我決定要著手開辦我的個人油畫教學教室。如果你就近住在台南，且想要學習畫油畫，以下是課程相關的資訊.
After a lot of talking, I&#8217;ve determined to go ahead and get my studio set up to teach private oil painting classes. (6 Easels, Flood Lights, Projector, etc.) I like to do portraits but can teach landscape, figure, drawing and sketching &#8211; the only thing I&#8217;m particularly bad at is modern abstract, but feel free [...]]]></description>

		<title>Painting = performance art?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I forced myself to carry out my &#8216;paint in public&#8217; plan. Theoretically, it&#8217;s a great idea: I go somewhere famous and local and paint in public&#8230; people crowd around and I give them all my business card. It&#8217;s a way for me to get free and easy exposure. However, when I actually arrived at [...]]]></description>

		<title>When did I become so angry?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Someone on my Facebook page commented about my description of some paintings, &#8220;When did you become so angry?&#8221; The question itself makes me angry, so I suppose I cannot deny that I am angry. I&#8217;d like to explore what role anger plays in my painting, and where my anger comes from.
First off &#8211; am I [...]]]></description>
