		<description>List building. It&amp;#8217;s what it&amp;#8217;s all about, right? Soooo many ways to do that. And many of us use (or try to use) RSS Feeds to get people interested in what we write.

Everything we do now is seen as some sort of &amp;#8216;tool.&amp;#8217; The really interesting thing is that many mainstream tools may be powerful, but their implementation can be overwhelming.  One of these technologies is the use of RSS feeds [...]&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;
