		<title>blog defaced for 40 minutes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This wasn&#8217;t anyone&#8217;s fault but my own (as I left Wordpress unpatched for a few months), but the other week, I found the blog had been replaced with the message  &#8216;F### the Israeli&#8217;s&#8217; and &#8216;you suck admin&#8217;.. etc. etc.

		<description><![CDATA[There are literally over 4500 3rd party modules for Drupal. So how does one know which modules to use?

Yes, I&#8217;m engaged! I&#8217;d be a pretty bad future husband if I didn&#8217;t mention this in the first paragraph, wouldn&#8217;t I! [...]]]></description>

		<title>post magento construction notes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Below are a few issues I had whilst recently developing an ecommerce site using Magento.

		<title>New URL, etc</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you can now see, I&#8217;ve moved my blog from blog.akb.com.au to www.akb.id.au. If it isn&#8217;t obvious, the id.au domain name space is for identities of those is Australia.You can grab them for around $30 from any good registry, Jumba, TPP Internet, etc.
Basically, the reason for changing, is because subdomains (like blog.akb.com.au) carry less weight [...]]]></description>

		<title>When was my old seagate drive manufactured</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently had my 1TB hard drive (of which was +750GB full) die on me last weekend, after only 12 months of use.

		<title>Getting Drupal Acquia in Vanilla mode</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I might be a bit behind the times here (oh, a good 9 months!), but I&#8217;ve finally had a chance to sit down and install Drupal Acquia &#8211; and to cut a long story short, I&#8217;m very impressed, indeed!
