		<title>Not A GoDaddy Girl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[GoDaddy.com seems to be pretty popular these days. Unfortunately, I can&#8217;t say I&#8217;m a fan. I find their assorted control panel interfaces chaotic and hard to navigate. I don&#8217;t like the spam they sent me all the time until I dug around 3-4 levels deep in navigation to find where to turn it off. And [...]]]></description>

		<title>Personal Projects</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working on updating this site lately. It&#8217;s been pretty fun, I&#8217;ve learned a lot about customizing a WordPress site. It&#8217;s funny how it can be so easy to ask other people what they want in a site and expect clear, easy-to-implement answers, and then when you sit down to build something for yourself [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fun with CodeIgniter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working lately on setting up an admin with CodeIgniter, which I picked because a) it&#8217;s fast, b) it&#8217;s not huge and c) it&#8217;s popular enough to have good documentation and forums, etc.  I was really pleased with how easy it was to just drop the files in place, change a few settings and [...]]]></description>

		<title>LF Template</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been trying to find a good admin template lately, free or otherwise, but it seems that any template available from anywhere always has tab navigation, or something that&#8217;s pretty and great if you have 6 pages and that&#8217;s it, but where are the templates with side menus that allow for any number of pages [...]]]></description>

		<title>MySQL Engines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I flipped through some stuff today describing different MySQL engines and their pros and cons.  It pretty much just reaffirmed my stance: InnoDB is what I would use in most cases because it supports transactions and foreign keys, but if I had a single table I needed to be fast, I might use MyISAM.  That [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Magic of similar_text()</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I had this dilemma the other day when I had a report that was displaying &#8220;event type&#8221;, &#8220;event name&#8221; and &#8220;event location.&#8221;  Due to some wonky old data, the event name would frequently be the same as event type or event location (e.g. &#8220;Dentist Appt&#8221; as type, &#8220;Dentist Appointment&#8221; as name, and &#8220;Dentist&#8217;s Office&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>3 Column Layout Blues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So today I attempted to create a 3 column layout page for an art site I&#8217;m working on.  What I was *trying* to get was: a large image in the left column, fixed width the thumbnails to switch images in the right, fixed width the title and description in the middle, stretchy What I initially [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love WordPress.  It&#8217;s so clean and pretty and easy to use and customize, its settings are not intimidating in number and its functionality is all clear and well organized. I&#8217;ve tried playing around with Joomla and Drupal, but they seem so big and clunky and have a steep learning curve.  My experiences with trying [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Site</title>
