		<title>WordPress Tip: bloginfo as a shortcode</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I often need to help move a client&#8217;s redesigned website into WordPress at a new webhost.

		<title>CodeIgniter Tip: Body class tags</title>
		<description><![CDATA[WordPress 2.8 came out with the body_class() function which allows you to hang your per-page (or per-whatever) CSS off of dynamically generated class attributes on the body HTML tag. I&#8217;m going to show you how to have some of that flexibility when using the CodeIgniter PHP framework. 
CodeIgniter URLs often take the form of http://my-cool-website.com/account/change-password, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Catch the Sign</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Catch the Sign is a pitching system for baseball and softball. It is used to encrypt the pitch calling between the coach and the catcher. The project required me to generate custom PDFs with random placement of the user&#8217;s unique pitches or plays in a grid. One main goal was to keep the user interface [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

		<title>Paul Davis and the catchy chorus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Take a few minutes to mellow out to the late Paul Davis.  One evening as &#8220;Sweet Life&#8221; came up in my Pandora queue, someone insisted it was a rip-off of Paul Davis&#8217;s &#8220;Cool Night&#8221;.  After asking YouTube, we sorted it out.  They&#8217;re both from Paul Davis.  Listen to the chorus of both [...]]]></description>

		<title>Meet my fine (but not 0.5mm fine) pencils</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m tired of not having any posts, so here&#8217;s something completely retarded.
