		<description>I discovered your blog when I was living in Malawi, loading it up on our terribly slow internet connection to get a broader perspective of thoughts on development. It&#039;s always been consistent in its excellence, and eventually convinced me to start one up myself. I&#039;m glad you&#039;ve decided to keep at it. Stay away from twitter.</description>

		<description>Dr. Blattman,
  I started my masters last fall and your blog made me think it was possible to actually finish after I was SO overwhelmed at the beginning of the semester.  Your postings are helpful and make the discipline in general more accessible so thank you for continuing.  I recommend this blog to all of our incoming graduate students when they tell me they too are SO overwhelmed.</description>
