		<description><![CDATA[I finally got around to fixing a nagging problem &#8211; contests from Facebook won&#8217;t load properly in LookContests because Facebook has settings that prevent any of their pages from loading a frame.  My fix is to automatically load the contest in a new tab.  Twitter and Youtube have the same problem, so this fix will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you probably know, there is a weekly LookContests email that gives you a quick rundown of your recent activity.  I had originally planned to expand it into a more useful weekly summary, but it&#8217;s never been a high enough priority for me to actually spend some time on it. So, for the time being, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It  looks like there was a bit of a hiccup today with the weekly email that goes out each Friday morning.  Unfortunately, the process that generates the emails restarted itself a few times and it looks like each recipient will have received 3 or 4 copies.  I apologize for the inconvenience, and I&#8217;ll make sure [...]]]></description>

		<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[Carolyn Wilman (a.k.a. The Contest Queen) was nice enough to feature LookContests.com on her BlogTalkRadio show last week.  I thought she ran a very thoughtful and intelligent interview, and Dan (representing LookContests) gave a lot of background information on the ideas behind the site and our plans for the future.  Check it out if you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just finished moving the site to a new server.  There really shouldn&#8217;t be much change in performance, but this will allow the site to grow in the future. If anyone&#8217;s interested in the technical details, the server is an Amazon EC2 instance, which means LookContests.com has moved into the cloud.  Being in the cload [...]]]></description>
