		<description><![CDATA[We’re using Windows Live Writer for most of our blog posts. Inserted into Live Writer we have the xPollinate plug in. This plug in has primarily been used to post blog entries made in one Famous Grazing blog to the others in the series.

There are a few of these blogs we couldn’t connect with xPollinate. We’re going to try its Ping.fm feature to connect the stories to Posterous and Vox when we post this message to Random Grazing Space.
