		<title>Favicon? What is that? How to make one?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is a "favicon"?  it's the little icon on a web browser tab, or next to a bookmark entry. I believe a website isn't really finished until it has a favicon.  Take a look at the first image below.  Most of the "Favorites Bar" links do not have favicons, and therefore they do not stand [...]

		<title>Midwest Weather</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now it's almost whiteout conditions (3pm).  This is the 4th time this has happened in a month (this much snow and drifting in front of my house).  I think it's time to either plant a hedge row, or erect a snow fence.  The drift in this photo isn't the same one from the photo above -- that one was completely removed and then this one formed within a couple hours.

		<title>Web Presence &#8211; Get it, and get it right.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spoke with a potential client about her desire to blog.  before our conversation, we had been emailing.  I checked out her website.  It wasn't good.  It looked unprofessional and low-rent... Home-made, in a bad way.  Like it was designed in MS FrontPage in 1998, and never touched since.  Tables and borders were undersized so that borders overlapped text, info about a sales promotion/contest showed an ending deadline that was months past.
