		<description><![CDATA[Dear Car--

   This one pretty much uses HTML, but has shortcut tabs that insert coding for you.  I imagine they vary, though--I think the Blogger and LiveJournal ones use WYSIWYG.

		<description><![CDATA[Hey this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if 
you have to manually code with HTML. I&#039;m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone - this is about the blue-eyed dachshunds. My parents bred their red with a black and tan dapple that had half a blue eye - very strange to look at (the bottom half was blue and the top half was brown). Out of one litter, one of the pups had a completely blue eye. Of course, that&#039;s the dog my sister-in-law fell in love with, and her name is Chloe. The blue eyes are a trait in dapples, and aren&#039;t genetically desirable. The next litter had no blue-eyed pups, but one was long haried (both parents are short haired). I lept her and her name is Gretchen. Sorry for rambling, but I love these dogs!!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I just read your enchilada recipe and it sounds really good. I live in Texas, so I can get some pretty good Mexican food, but I haven&#039;t tried making enchiladas yet. I have managed tamales, and that was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. It&#039;s a process! lol]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a rather food-oriented literary question for you:  How would you describe the flavor of curry to a person who has never tasted it before?  I&#039;m not a big curry fan myself, but I know that a great majority of the world eats it and although I have tried it several times, I&#039;m at a loss as to how to describe the flavor.  Thanks!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, it&#039;s true, dachshunds can have blue eyes.  I&#039;ve got a silver dapple named Byron, he has some blue specks in one of his irises.  The eyes sometimes end up dappled like the rest of them.  &lt;br/&gt;This is my first post ever here, and I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your books Diana (I know everyone says that [g]).  I&#039;ve read them so many times that I usually don&#039;t even read them from beginning to end anymore.  I just pick one up, open it at random, and start there.  They&#039;re like old friends... I just keep coming back to them.  Thanks again.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dachsunds with blue eyes are usually double dapples and usually have genetic problems with their hearing and/or other issues.  It isn&#039;t really considered a good breeding standard according to our veterinarian.  My neighbor had a beautiful double dapple that she rescued, she was white and tan and had bright blue eyes and was deaf, the only problem was that the neighbor let her breed with her tan dachsund and all the babies died within a few days from birth defects- it was very sad.  Her vet told her she should have never let her breed.]]></description>
