 <description> 
 &lt;p&gt;I&#039;m categorizing this fairly widely because I think it could be a failry valuable tool for consultants who run their own websites (for marketing and biz dev) and/ or who consult for websites that are trying to reach a broader (read non-English-speakng) audience.&amp;nbsp; I&#039;m also posting this here because I think this (or something like it) could be a very handy tool for Consultant Commons it self, as we try to reach out to a broader audience, and really distribute all of our &amp;quot;knowledge&amp;quot; far and wide.&lt;/p&gt;               &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Please comment if you have found a better implementation of this code (see my notes at the end)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;og_rss_groups&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.consultantcommons.org/eng/group/managing_your_consultancy&quot;&gt;Managing your Consultancy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.consultantcommons.org/eng/translate_this_page_code_and_test&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Implementation Lifecycle</title>
 <link>http://www.consultantcommons.org/eng/implementation_lifecycle</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Implementation Lifecycle
&lt;p&gt;This document is a brief outline of the lifecycle of a typical technology implementation project. It is organized in phases, which should be pretty self-explanatory. Within each phase are different activities, deliverables, and tools. Deliverables are &lt;strong&gt;bolded&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;em&gt;Tools&lt;/em&gt; are italicized.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Things to Do to Save You Time and Money</title>
 <link>http://www.consultantcommons.org/eng/things_to_do_to_save_you_time_and_money</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;You will need to provide certain support for your Consultant:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â 1.Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â  Be There!&lt;br /&gt;This may sound obvious, but some clients fail to turn up at appointments and donÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t cancel within 24 hours.Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â  If our consultant turns up for the appointment and canÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t get in s/he will come back to CompuMentor and we will still charge you the 4-hour minimum. Please be there, we donÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t want to charge you for work that doesnÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t help you!Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â  Also note, our consultants will not work at an unattended site.Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â  You cannot just let them in and leave.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Work Record</title>
 <link>http://www.consultantcommons.org/eng/work_record</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;This work record was designed to be used at client site for a one-off, no prior contact, one-day consult.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The idea was to provide structure for the visit in a way that would provide good documentation of the work done and record approval for that work as it progressed so the paperwork was a tool for communication rather than a (frequently forgotten) hindrance at the end of the day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;og_rss_groups&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.consultantcommons.org/eng/group/managing_your_consultancy&quot;&gt;Managing your Consultancy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>
