			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>We wanted a way for you to let your customers know you&#8217;d been featured on GirlyPC</strong>, so our designer created a handful of graphics that you can use on your website.</p>
<p><strong>If we&#8217;ve featured your <a href="http://girlypc.com">home office product</a> here,</strong> you should <a href="http://www.girlypc.com/featured/">use one of these graphics</a> to let the world know!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We asked, you answered&#8211;over 500 of you. Thank you!</p>
<p><strong>Last month, we asked what you look for in a desk and, not surprisingly, the results were as varied as our readers:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>23% of you said you like a large desk&#8211;in fact, you voted, &#8220;The Bigger, The Better!&#8221;</li>
<li>18% of you said you need something small and so you watch the measurements carefully to ensure a desk will fit your space.</li>
<li>37% of you crave a desk with plenty of smart storage</li>
<li>12% of you prioritize a desk&#8217;s style over all other details</li>
<li>11% of you look for uniqueness in a desk and care most about that</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Note: Numbers add up to more than 100% because of rounding</em></p>
<p><em></em>What we enjoyed most around the office were the comments you left on the survey form. From several annonymous commenters, we heard:</p>
<blockquote><p>I love a big desk I can spread out on. It&#8217;s important that there&#8217;s space for the computer, my project, and all the resource files. Plus, I usually have a magazine open and at least one &#8220;back-burner&#8221; project on my desk. The best desk I&#8217;ve found so far: a dining room table! Plenty of room, and you can sit along it anywhere.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>I have a drafting table that I love working on&#8211;with the work I do, I don&#8217;t need to be able to keep it at a slope, but it&#8217;s nice to be able to stand up while I&#8217;m doing my work.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Lots of storage is a must! Otherwise, my office looks like a tornado swept through. I love my pedestal desk because of all the drawers.</p></blockquote>
<p>Among the commentors who left their names, Jenny said:</p>
<blockquote><p>Uniqueness!!! I will seriously gouge my eyes out if I see another of those &#8220;sawhorse&#8221; desks. Bah. It was a clever idea when the materials were cheap, sure. But have you seen the price tags on some of those desks??</p></blockquote>
<p>Pam said:</p>
<blockquote><p>Solid wood. I know that wasn&#8217;t one of the options but nothing&#8217;s so distasteful to me as working on one of those cardboard contraptions. Give me solid wood or give me the floor, I say.</p></blockquote>
<p>Yolanda said:</p>
<blockquote><p>I work in a corner of our guest bedroom, so size and storage are key. But, it&#8217;s also really important that the style go with the rest of the room&#8211;I didn&#8217;t want my workspace sticking out like a sore thumb.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to fill out the survey</strong>&#8211;it was awesome reading your responses and your feedback will definitely play a role in the desks we feature here.</p>
<p>Enjoy your copy of &#8220;<em>Designing the Perfect Desk: Elements Every Home Office Needs</em>&#8221; as our thanks for your participation.</p>
<p><strong>Didn&#8217;t get a chance to participate this time?</strong> Never fear! We&#8217;re already planning our next survey so you can score a copy of our delicious book, too.</p>
