			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have followed Kathryn Finney&#8217;s blog, The Budget Fashionista for a few years. I even recommend her book on my blog for the last year. At the end of December I applied to be a contributing fashion poster on her updated website. Much to my own surprised they were &#8220;very interested&#8221; and offered me a position which requires me to turn in one assignment per week on plus size fashion. Here are the last six weeks of postings. Please stop by and leave me a lovely comment regarding the post:</p>
<ul>
<li>Five Great Places to Purchase Plus Size Tights</li>
<li><a href="http://www.thebudgetfashionista.com/archive/wide-calf-boot">The Best Wide Calf Boots</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.thebudgetfashionista.com/archive/plus-size-fashion-top-five-work-dresses">Five Great Plus Size Work Dresses</a></li>
<li>Five Pieces You Need For the New Year</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s hard to believe that I have been an editor at BellaOnline for five years. I&#8217;ve had a few topics over the years but my concentration has always been with the Large and Lovely site. <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-210" title="5" src="http://www.m-e-wood.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/5-225x300.jpg" alt="5" width="225" height="300" /></p>
<p>I have seen it grow from a few articles to hundreds. And watched the hits climb from 10,000 a month to over 100,000. It&#8217;s been great fun and I&#8217;ve learned a lot from the owner and fellow editors.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s to another five years!</p>
