      <title>New Website. So shiny and exciting.</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Our website has been completely re-written. Good by PHP, hello Ruby on Rails. The layout has also been brought up to date and the whole thing is much more elegant.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Notable new things for the public are:
&lt;br /&gt; * Improved picture viewing
&lt;br /&gt; * More logical layout and information
&lt;br /&gt; * Mailing list signup (on the side bar, how about you try it out)
&lt;br /&gt; * An RSS feed, if you're into that kind of technology&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For members there are many improved features in the back end.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If there are any bugs or problems just send us a message!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;We've been receiving lots of interest about our winter show and sale. The poster is almost done and will be up within a few days. But the important bit:&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Many New Members!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;JoAnna Lange has been one of the most active members of our studio for some time now. Sadly for us, but good for her, she has packed up her Winnipeg home and moved out west. We all wish her the best and will miss her very much. She is maintaining membership at the studio for the time being at least, but this winter will likely be her last sale with us.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a result of her moving, we've had several spaces become available and have been able to fill them from our waiting list. We welcome:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cliff Derksen - Clay handbuilding
&lt;br /&gt;Gloria De Neve - Clay handbuilding
&lt;br /&gt;Michele Amy - Clay handbuilding
&lt;br /&gt;Stuan Sinclair - Author (in need of a quiet working space)
&lt;br /&gt;Kevin Friedrich - Painter&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our winter sale is coming up in late November and we look forward to a gallery full of new work!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
