&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a title="Condominium for Rent in SWFL" href="http://marcoislandcondo.info/"&gt;MarcoIslandCondo.info website&lt;/a&gt; lists amenities:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Fully stocked kitchen&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Linen &amp; towels&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Glorious sunset views&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Nearby beach activities&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The “Things to Do” page has headings, but could use section dividers.  The content on the page is extensive and could use a “Back to Top” button between sections.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://swfl.servingsouthwestflorida.com/post/1004037551</link><guid>http://swfl.servingsouthwestflorida.com/post/1004037551</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Aug 2010 12:28:00 -0400</pubDate><category>Marco Island</category><category>Florida</category><category>condominium</category><category>rentals</category><category>review</category></item><item><title>Technology and Media Conference at Edison State College in Fort Myers</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.barcampswfl.com/"&gt;Technology and Media Conference at Edison State College in Fort Myers&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="Website screenshot for BarCampSWFL.com" src="http://img.ly/system/uploads/000/466/150/large_BarCampSWFL-com_480x417.jpg" height="417" width="480"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a title="Technology and Media Conference at Edison State College in Fort Myers" href="http://www.barcampswfl.com/"&gt;BarCampSWFL.com website&lt;/a&gt; lists alternative organizational formats:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Public transit&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Health care&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Political organizing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The idea of using a blog for an event (yearly) site sounds as good as the site’s template looks.  However, aside from the Twitter updates column, the content is outdated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ideals expressed by the site and its “user generated conferences” could be better served with OpenID integration for post contributions.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://swfl.servingsouthwestflorida.com/post/1000899630</link><guid>http://swfl.servingsouthwestflorida.com/post/1000899630</guid><pubDate>Mon, 23 Aug 2010 21:26:00 -0400</pubDate><category>SWFL</category><category>Florida</category><category>Edison State College</category><category>Fort Myers</category><category>technology</category><category>media</category><category>events</category><category>review</category></item><item><title>Strategic Marketing Firm in Bonita Springs</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.markit-group.com/"&gt;Strategic Marketing Firm in Bonita Springs&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="Website screenshot for Markit-Group.com" src="http://img.ly/system/uploads/000/466/204/large_MarkIT-Group-com_480x520.jpg" height="520" width="480"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a title="Strategic Marketing Firm in SWFL" href="http://www.markit-group.com/"&gt;Markit-Group.com website&lt;/a&gt; lists web services:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Document Posting&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Event Posting ; Event Promotion&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Keyword Management&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Media Tagging&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Status Updates&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Privacy and Security Settings&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Platform Customization&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Press Releases Syndication&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Social Media Platform Integration&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Post Blogs / Microblog&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Create Slideshows&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Post Images / Photos / Videos&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Create Video Channels&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Create Custom Groups&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The site benefits from the open authentication protocol found in the comments section of posts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The logo might look better with some transparency; to better match the blurred background image.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://swfl.servingsouthwestflorida.com/post/1000899529</link><guid>http://swfl.servingsouthwestflorida.com/post/1000899529</guid><pubDate>Mon, 23 Aug 2010 21:26:00 -0400</pubDate><category>Bonita Springs</category><category>marketing</category><category>blog</category><category>review</category></item><item><title>Dance Studio in Cape Coral</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.capedance.com/"&gt;Dance Studio in Cape Coral&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="Website screenshot for CapeDance.com" src="http://img.ly/system/uploads/000/466/194/large_CapeDance-com_480x511.jpg" height="511" width="480"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Belly Dancing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ballet&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Zumba&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to the use of a scaled image, the colors used on site’s “Calendar” page are difficult to read in places.  This is true even when the image is viewed outside of the page itself.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://swfl.servingsouthwestflorida.com/post/1000899488</link><guid>http://swfl.servingsouthwestflorida.com/post/1000899488</guid><pubDate>Mon, 23 Aug 2010 21:26:00 -0400</pubDate><category>Cape Coral</category><category>dance</category><category>lessons</category><category>review</category><category>studio</category><category>dancing</category></item><item><title>Professional Writing Services in Naples</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.professionalwritingservices.com/"&gt;Professional Writing Services in Naples&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="Website screenshot for ProfessionalWritingServices.com" src="http://img.ly/system/uploads/000/466/222/large_ProfessionalWritingServices-com_480x364.jpg" height="364" width="480"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
