 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/randa-clay/intelligent-design-crm-www/5-reasons-your-business-needs-blog</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
My name is &lt;a href=&quot;http://randaclay.com&quot;&gt;Randa Clay&lt;/a&gt;, and I am a designer and marketing consultant with my main focus being design and development for WordPress. Beyond graphic design, my background includes work recommending, coordinating, executing and analyzing marketing initiatives for large brands, such as The Limited, Victoria’s Secret, Goody’s, Express and more. This is my first post on the Fast Company site, and look forward to discussing ways to improve customer relationship management through a well-designed website and blog.
