		<description><![CDATA[Timethief,

I read your post about someone stealing your content. You said this is easier since RSS feeds were introduced. RSS feeds are shown as little banners on the subscribers page, right? How does this make it easier to steal contents? Is it because the &quot;thief&quot; is notified when you have new contents for him to steal? It&#039;s like he is monitoring your site from his own site?

Do you think people should stop enabling RSS feeds?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi,

I&#039;m new to this. Most of the discussion is about whether to have the front page static or as post. 

I just recently started a newsletter. On my site, I have a front page explaining what my newsletter is about. On the sidebar I have an opt-in, articles and product reviews. All pages are static. I use wordpress.org. Once a week I send out an email, containing a new issue of the newsletter.

I was thinking of turning it into a blog instead. Maybe the front page as static. The articles turn into posts. Do you think product reviews should be posts, or static page?

I&#039;ve heard(&quot;read&quot;) you say that static pages should be use for information that does not change. I&#039;m not sure I know what you mean. The posts, once it&#039;s posted you don&#039;t change it either, or? Is product reviews considered as information that change or not?

I&#039;ve seen some people in my niche having entirely static pages and some have blogs. I&#039;m not sure which one is best. I don&#039;t have my own product, just recommending other&#039;s products.

I would be grateful for as many comments as possible.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the case of your blog I think you have made the correct decision. You are involved in 6 projects ranging from art and cooking to writing and web design. You have provided your users with links so they can quickly click through to the projects that interest them most.  I also like the fact that you have provided a very big and obvious link to the blog for those who aren&#039;t interested specifically in the projects.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I ended up with a static front page because I know most people going to my site are going to be looking for very different things. I have a lot of folks that go to my site via photography referrals so I wanted them to have a chance to skip right on to my photography gallery online without having to look for the link around all my blog text. There are other links as well for those folks looking for me professionally (my main work website) as well as through the books I co-edit. So, a static page ended up making sense for me, so I could give people an easy choice right away on where they are heading. However, now I&#039;m terrified maybe I just did a  bad thing for my blog.]]></description>
