		<description><![CDATA[I think it&#8217;s safe to say that the waiting list has outlived its usefulness.  When we first launched LookContests.com, I wanted to make sure that the site would be reasonably fast and responsive, so the waiting list was a way of managing the number of users and ensuring that new users were added only when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just updated the site with some new features which are, for the most part, geared towards power users.  I&#8217;m just going to give a quick run-down of the changes here, and I&#8217;ll try to elaborate on them in the next day or two.

On the Settings page, there is now an option to exclude [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just completed an update to the site that includes a few minor changes and one fairly significant one. The minor changes are listed at the bottom of this post, but first I&#8217;d like to address the larger one.
The frequency of a contest is key to the logic for LookContests.com. We started out with fairly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[March has been a very busy month for LookContests.com, so it&#8217;s fitting that I&#8217;ve just completed a new set of changes on the last day before we move into April.
Before I get to what was changed, though, I want to give credit to LookContests member Ron for suggesting all of these improvements.  He sent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you probably know, our contests listings come from http://contestcanada.net.  While we take steps to ensure that the contest information is accurate and complete, there will always be situations where the details are misunderstood or a mistake is made.
Up until now, the best way for you to correct an error that you&#8217;ve discovered has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the site&#8217;s members sent me a great idea the other day (thanks Ron!), so I&#8217;ve implemented it.  On your settings page, you now have the option to limit your contests to those that are open exclusively to Canadians.  This hadn&#8217;t occurred to me prior to Ron mentioning it, but it makes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that you can enter your own contests, it has been pointed out to me that there&#8217;s not a convenient way to see just the ones you&#8217;ve entered.  They show up in the regular views for &#8220;weekly&#8221;, &#8220;daily&#8221;, &#8220;favourites&#8221;, etc, but they can be difficult to track down this way.
To address this, I&#8217;ve added [...]]]></description>
