			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the current economic climate, saving money on food is a high priority of many. But we still like to go out and enjoy a meal at a restaurant or pub. That&#8217;s why cheap eats are so popular! Many places offer a &#8220;steak night&#8221; or &#8220;pot and parma&#8221; night which attract people from all walks of life.</p>
<p>Usually, venues in a high profile area will not have these discount food specials, but now a restaurant on the waterfront in Port Melbourne is coming to the party! Hollyhock is a popular venue on Station Pier and has recently opened their beer garden. It is a relaxed setting with beautiful views on the water. And despite their amazing location and classy funky vibe, they still offer great deals on meals!</p>
<p>Hollyhock Beer Garden specials are all week long, so for <a href="http://www.hollyhockbeergarden.com.au/cheap-eats-melbourne.html" target=_blank>cheap eats Melbourne</a> you can&#8217;t overlook them! Their deals include cheap parmas, burgers, steaks, pizzas and fish and chips.  On top of this, the beer garden has a retractable roof and open fireplace, so even on the crappy cold and wet Melbourne nights, this is one venue to go check out!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Melbourne architects have been at the forefront of environmental design for quite some time, responding to the urban fabric of the city which demands &#8220;green&#8221; buildings.</p>
<p>Georgiev Partnerships in Kew is one such firm, using their understanding of how the suns movements can be utilised by verandahs, pergolas, eaves and courtyards, to design homes that not only look great, but deliver cooling and heating strategies for the owners.</p>
<p>Both residential and commercial projects rank high on their agenda, with extensive factors considered such as cost planning, sustainability, bushfire design, heritage matters, and of course heating and cooling. For some of the best <a href="http://www.georgievpartnership.com.au/" target=_blank>architects Melbourne</a> has to offer, this family run practice is one business definitely worth considering.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re going away on holidays this festive season, why not give your pet a christmas present by checking him or her into a pet resort while you&#8217;re away. Pet hotels, as they are also known, are like a boutique animal boarding facility, designed to provide extra care and indulgence for your furry friends while you&#8217;re on vacation.</p>
<p>Instead of keeping your cat or dog at home and getting the neighbours to feed them and change their water, give them a treat and call a <a href="http://www.baysidecatresort.com.au/" target=_blank>pet resort Melbourne</a> for a pet holiday to remember. Bayside Cat Resort offers individual suites for your animal as well as an extensive selection of food.</p>
<p>Best of all, the staff are big cat lovers and will spend lots of time giving attention and cuddles to your feline friend. They also have plenty of toys on offer to keep them entertained, and you may leave your cats favourite toy or blanket too so they still feel at home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The hot pre-summer weather is out in full force and it&#8217;s time to start thinking about the 3 s&#8217;s: slurpees, suntanning, and swimming. For Melbournians lucky enough to have a swimming pool, it&#8217;s also time to make sure that it&#8217;s still in a usable condition after a lengthy layoff during the winter months.</p>
<p>The last thing you want to do is pull back the pool cover and find the build up of pond scum, or worse yet, a ringtail possum floating there motionless. And if your pool pump or filter isn&#8217;t working properly, there is bound to be other gunk building up! With regular <a href="http://www.allseasonspumps.com.au" target=_blank>swimming pool maintenance</a> you can ensure your pool and spa are in tip top shape, and ready for your mates to come round for a bbq and beers one Sunday afternoon.</p>
<p>With the AFL finals, Spring Carnival and Christmas all coming up, your swimming pool is the perfect location to unwind and cool off after a busy day socialising and enjoying the many things our city has to offer at this time of year! All Seasons Pumps is your one stop shop for both products to look after your pool, and maintenance guys to come and fix any problems or perform installations for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The latest buzz word in marketing these days is SEO and if you haven&#8217;t heard of it, then you are falling behind your competitors. Even if you&#8217;re well aware of search engine optimisation, is your website benefitting from it as much as it should? There are endless companies claiming to get you high rankings on Google but unless you know what you&#8217;re paying for, you might actually be throwing money away.</p>
<p>The most important things to look for with an SEO company are transparency, and realistic offers. Don&#8217;t be afraid to ask what you&#8217;re paying for. If the company is legit, they will be only too happy to share with you the techniques they will be implementing. If a company makes a lot of promises that seem to good to be true, they probably are. Guarantees in SEO should be taken with a grain of salt, as Google is always changing and not even the experts can promise something definitively. </p>
<p>Search engine optimisation is an ongoing process that should be done gradually, and consistently, through a number of avenues. Link building is the key to building popularity and thus high rankings, and attaining links from a number of sources is paramount. These should include links on other contextual websites, article submissions, blog postings, business directory listings, social network pages, and more. For high quality <a href="http://www.searchengineoptimisationmelbourne.biz" target=_blank>search engine optimisation Melbourne</a> you should receive regular reports and notice strong changes to your rankings as the SEO campaign progresses.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many little country towns just outside of Melbourne have hidden wonders that the majority of people never discover. And it&#8217;s a shame because I can&#8217;t count the amount of times I&#8217;ve wanted to get out of the city for a short break, and wondered of a nice place to go where I could relax and partake in some fun activities.</p>
<p>However one company is now doing something to change that for the quaint town of Seymour, located just over an hour north of Melbourne. Seymour Presents has just launched their website in an effort to promote the numerous activities that go on in the local area every month. It gives both locals and tourists alike the chance to discover the town for all it offers, which is great for local businesses and for town growth.</p>
<p>Some of the upcoming activities include the annual Seymour Cup, where some of the countries best trainers and jockeys go for an exciting day of Country Racing, and the Tastes of the Goulburn, which is a fine wine and food festival. So if you&#8217;re looking for <a href="http://www.seymourpresents.com.au" target=_blank>things to do in Seymour</a> look no further than Seymour Presents.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most Melbournians are pet owners or have been one at some stage in their life. And half of you will have owned a dog or still do. But are you getting the most out of your animal, and enriching the relationship between owner and dog.</p>
<p>There is a lot to know about a dog, and the more informed you are, the better you can look after him or her. Knowing why your animal does certain things, or being aware of potential problems that can arise in everyday life not only helps your animal live a loving and healthy life but also gives you the best possible pet to enjoy.</p>
<p>Simple <a href="http://www.petsboulevard.com.au" target=_blank>dog facts</a> are not necessarily common knowledge but when you learn about them, they make sense and help you care for &#8216;mans best friend&#8217;. Whether it be keeping your puppy&#8217;s teeth healthy, knowing the difference in dog vaccinations, or why your dog runs in his sleep, being educated will ensure you&#8217;re a model owner!</p>
