		<description><![CDATA[So I was wanting to find a nice, simple method of using Twitter to pull in multiple accounts into a single feed.  &#8220;Why would you want to do that,&#8221; you ask?  Well, in my case, I was working on a site for a client who runs an organization.  The organization itself has a Twitter feed for announcements and such, but its employees each had their own Twitter account as well.  So [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, I&#8217;ve been quiet for a few weeks.  I&#8217;ve had some issues come up, and have been trying to knock them out of the park.  I was just saying this morning, it amazes me how I&#8217;m on sabbatical, but I&#8217;m busier now than I was when I wasn&#8217;t! (OMG &#8211; that has to be some kind of grammatical nightmare right there.)
Anyway, recently I&#8217;ve had a lot of people around me (not directly to [...]

		<description><![CDATA[With a combination of GeekTool and a little teensy bit o' Google Analytics knowhow, you can ensure that GA isn't including your visits to your own site as part of their reports.  If you're a developer (or someone who frequently visits their own site) this can come in really handy to assist in accurate reporting!

		<description><![CDATA[There are tutorials all over the internet about creating HTML signature files for your email that work in different types of email programs.  Gmail is one of the hardest to make comply to this small desire.  I've put my travels in the world of creating HTML signature files all in one place so you don't have to wade through everything to get the info you need.

I&#8217;ve written two PDF documents, as well as one in Word format, as well as multiple phone conversations, and having an &#8220;Active Collab&#8221; type area where your discussions are stored for future reference &#8211; and finally emails.  However, I still find myself repeatedly giving him instructions, because if [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Many people feel that moderation of comments of a blog (such as this) is bad practice, and is performed pretty much by people who believe themselves to be the end-all of correctness. Only people who love themselves and care nothing for other people&#8217;s opinions moderate the comments on their site.  (This observation, anyway, is something I&#8217;ve seen in my years as a blog-reader and Twitterer, but I don&#8217;t have any direct references to such [...]

But I realized this morning that I don&#8217;t have a real set list of things to do before I launch a site &#8211; be it a redesign or a brand new site.  Again, it&#8217;s a whole &#8220;fly by the seat of my pants&#8221; kind of thing. Using experience and memory to help me through it &#8211; when really I should have something [...]

Makes for much faster editing &#8211; I can change the file on my computer and changes are immediately seen on the &#8220;site&#8221; locally (the alternative would be edit, upload, wait, reload page, and repeat).  Now, on my PC, I used to run a neat little program called XAMPP to put Apache, PHP and MySQL on my computer and turn [...]

		<description><![CDATA[So here&#8217;s the idea: I&#8217;ve had many clients in the past who wanted to have page-specific widgetized sidebars. Now, I&#8217;ve covered this before, but one thing has always gotten me: the fact that you have to write a lot of bloated code to get it to work.  It seems like you should be able to pull the post slugs into some kind of array, and have the widgets auto-create themselves with a small bit [...]

I&#8217;m actually sick today, otherwise there would have been a lot more in that post &#8211; but I think I&#8217;ll save the rest of the &#8220;goodness&#8221; for a later date, when I&#8217;m feeling [...]
