		<title>Flickr Galleries for Drupal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Install the Flickr module. That&#8217;s going to require a Flickr API key, so follow the instructions to set that up. You&#8217;ll need to enable the following modules: Flickr, Flickr Filter, Flickr Sets. Then enable the &#8220;Flickr linker&#8221; filter under Input Formats.
Keep in mind that only &#8220;public&#8221; photos work with this.
That&#8217;s going to let you put [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mapping Ryan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently my brother got a SPOT emergency beacon. One of the features is a non-emergency &#8220;check in&#8221; feature. He hits a button and it logs his location. Turns out, that log has an RSS feed. So I built an application to take the feed and put the items in a database. Then I build a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hardcoded</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I want to say a little something about hardcoding values. Don&#8217;t.
Here is my example. You have an online application. It has 13 pages. You have a pointed that says what page the user is on. When that pointer gets to 14 it means the user is done and they get a summary page. That&#8217;s okay. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some Thoughts on Wordpress Training</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I seem to train a lot of our clients in Wordpress, so I thought I&#8217;d write something up. Copy/Pasted here, for your entertainment.

In my experience, most people think Wordpress training is going to be terribly complicated. Usually, they don&#8217;t &#8220;get&#8221; computers and don&#8217;t expect to understand a content management system, either. Once they see how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Simple jQuery Accordion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent an hour trying to get the jQuery UI accordion to work and it just wasn&#8217;t right. So I wrote my own. And then, the next day, I made it simpler.
Get the files here.

// prep &#34;a img&#34; for highslide
$&#40;'a'&#41;.each&#40;function&#40;&#41; &#123;
  if &#40;$&#40;this&#41;.children&#40;'img'&#41;.length &#62; 0&#41; &#123;

		<title>Rotating Images on the Home Page with Wordpress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Building on ideas I posted earlier, I&#8217;ve come up with a clever way to allow users to manage the images that appear in a rotating-image-block.
Upload the images into a page. I called my page &#8220;Rotating Images for the Home Page.&#8221; Then, in your template, fetch the contents of that page and format them for display. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making Blocks of Content on the Home Page Editable in Wordpress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A popular home page design is a sort of newspaper layout, with lots of little blocks of content. An example of that is this website we did for Gilda&#8217;s Club.

What we want to do is make the &#8220;Mission&#8221; block, in the middle right, editable through Wordpress. It&#8217;s actually pretty easy to do.
1. Create a new [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google&#8217;s Chart API</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last few days I&#8217;ve been playing with Google&#8217;s Chart API. It&#8217;s much simpler than their other APIs. This is pretty close to dirt simple. My only &#8220;complaint&#8221; is that a lot of the variable names are a bit obscure. I&#8217;m unlikely to remember that chxl means chart axis labels. So I started writing a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wordpress 2.9, Post Thumbnails</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the cool new things about wp2.9 is support for post thumbnails. What this means is that you can associate an image with a post, as a thumbnail for that post.
Previously I have had to write all kinds of code to pull the first image embedded in the body of the post, resize it, [...]]]></description>
