		<description><![CDATA[So, while I was working on my Back End Instructions plugin yesterday, I was talking to my husband about the client I had built it for. As a quick notation, it&#8217;s a group of women who are of a certain age (no offense to anyone &#8211; I&#8217;m getting there myself!) and who do not like change. It&#8217;s taken me almost three years of pulling teeth to get things to where they are now. They want [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Well hello there! I&#8217;m all excited. I think I&#8217;ve mentioned before (although for the life of me I can&#8217;t find reference to it) that I wrote a quick plugin once to provide back end instructions for clients. It was using the Userextra/Usermeta plugins, and I edited/added text right in the plugin area to pull up the right stuff, so it wasn&#8217;t easily managed. It worked (and was a &#8220;quick fix&#8221;) &#8211; but I wanted it [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I think every &#8220;renewal process&#8221; goes through this (at least, I hope so&#8230;), where the renewer believes they have it all figured out, and before they even get started, they run into some kind of epiphany, and they get set back to square one. The thing is, there&#8217;s a difference between getting sent back to square one because of a setback, and being sent back because you somehow saw that clear line of vision for [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Wow &#8211; 9 months (?!?) into my sabbatical, and I&#8217;ve finally made some hard decisions. I have to say, although I felt a little guilty about taking a sabbatical, I feel like it was a really good decision. As hard-headed as I am, though, it took a while to get some basics sorted. But I will put out there the things I&#8217;ve learned about myself (some of which I&#8217;ve mentioned before), because &#8211; as usual [...]

		<description><![CDATA[As a counter-balance to yesterday&#8217;s post, I&#8217;m offering up 7 reasons you should keep going at it, and truck ahead. If you were all gung-ho about my post yesterday, I apologize, because I&#8217;m laying out the reasons (some of which I&#8217;m currently pondering) why you should stay and tough it out! 1. Avoid the knee-jerk reaction. Sometimes, the idea of quitting is brought on by some recent event &#8211; something stressful happened with a client [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I will admit, for a couple of months now, this sabbatical has made me think that the best thing for me right now is to give it up. It&#8217;s something I haven&#8217;t wanted to mention for fear of upsetting a few people, but I think it&#8217;s time I do. (And I tell ya, it&#8217;s such a relief to let that out in the open, as well.) I hate the very thought of &#8220;quitting.&#8221; I&#8217;m not [...]

Over the last few weeks, I&#8217;ve actually been bombed with requests on how to do this, and I&#8217;ve been happily passing out my code to anyone who&#8217;s asked for it. (I think it&#8217;s because of this comment I left on Liam McKay&#8217;s site. I guess it piqued a lot of interest.) I will also say that, earlier today, I mentioned that the tuorial [...]

		<description><![CDATA[WordPress 3.0 &#8220;Thelonious&#8221; was officially released yesterday. Now, I posted before about the cool new features of WP 3.0. I&#8217;ve been using it since the Alpha, and I&#8217;ve been very impressed. I&#8217;ve been getting a ot of questions in my inbox, as well as on Twitter, about how it&#8217;s going. A lot of people out there are pretty wary of immediately upgrading to a new version of WordPress, and typically wait until at least the [...]

I have managed to fall back into the old habits that I&#8217;ve been trying to change, and I have not yet successfully managed to complete any of the goals I set for myself. Wow, I didn&#8217;t realize how hard it would be to admit that. I have allowed things to get in my way. [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I'm not the kind of girl who generally fawns over actors and celebrities.  Personally, I don't really much care about what they do, and I never quite understood what the big deal is with needing to know what they do every day.  To me, they're just people doing their job.  Like anyone who has a job, some do it better than others, some are lazy, some are lucky (probably due to some brown-nosing or something), and some make mistakes.  

But Will Smith continues to fill that seemingly unattainable... thing that many people would like to have, and his celebrity status isn't what makes him the way he is - I think he'd be this way even if he weren't famous.
