		<description><![CDATA[How does somebody who wants to write about the arts get an audience? In the old days you found a small local publication to write for while you learned your craft, and graduated to bigger publications and larger readership. Readership, and often influence, depended on the reach of your venue. # Now, theoretically, since anyone [...]]]></description>
