		<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[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.

		<description><![CDATA[So I currently have a client that &#8211; no offense to anyone, I swear it &#8211; cannot seem to handle instructions to save his life.  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[I had an interesting dilemma over the weekend.  Someone sent me a comp to code out (PSD->WordPress), which isn&#8217;t anything shocking since I do that a lot.  What the dilemma was: in the sidebar, they wanted a category listing.  However they wanted only the category listing for the category page you were on.  So, say you&#8217;re in the &#8220;Dogs&#8221; category&#8230; they wanted the sidebar to have &#8220;Dogs&#8221; (the current category name) [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Typically I do most of my work on my computer in a localhost environment.  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 [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I need to get my bearings! 
I was away last week (my little brother got married! I used to change his diapers! I can&#8217;t believe it.), and I returned with an illness, so I&#8217;ve been unexpectedly down for the count this week as well.  I&#8217;m still not 100%, but at least I can now sit here and do some things without feeling woozy.
So, now I need to figure out where I left off and [...]

What we&#8217;re going to cover today is one of the most commonly requested functions I see &#8211; having a main navigation (usually at the top [...]

We&#8217;re now getting into the parts of customization where you really need to have an understanding of what&#8217;s going on, because what I&#8217;m about to describe to you can be used in many, may different ways &#8211; there&#8217;s no way I could possibly give you a [...]

There are so many ways you can create a different look for your index page (or ANY page for that matter &#8211; pretty much every method in this part of the series can be applied to Pages, categories &#8211; anything).  
Most people like to have a different look for various parts [...]
