		<title>Firefox extensions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using Mozilla&#8217;s Firefox browser for over a year now, and it&#8217;s my main browser. One of the key reasons is its extensibility, and here are the extensions I use (generated by the Listzilla extension):

		<title>Essential software</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Read one of Photomatt&#8217;s articles on essential software, which got me to thinking on some of the more useful pieces of software I use. 
Here is an impromptu list:
Web design:

Firefox 1.0 &#8211; My favourite browser

General utilities:

		<title>Romney is a fraud</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When updating this website caused me to re-install, I checked to see the Google rank of &#8220;Nick Romney&#8221;. I&#8217;m pleased to say that this site came up first. So, with my ego suitably stroked, I decided to do a little more ego-surfing to see where I ranked. I was vaguely aware of the Massachusetts Governor [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christian marketing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had almost forgotten about Testamints since seeing them in a Christian bookshop / coffee-house some years ago. A quick search on Google, and I found a couple of articles which sum up my attitude to the quasi-Gnosticism of &#8220;Christian&#8221; anything.  I very much enjoyed Dave Meurer&#8217;s article detailing his attempts to get his [...]]]></description>

		<title>Notre Dame</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was in Paris a couple of weeks ago, I took a couple of tourist pictures &#8211; Notre Dame and the Champs Elysees. 
Here&#8217;s one that I thought worked out rather well:

		<title>Getting Things Done</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a big fan of personal development (Tony Robbins, Stephen Covey, Tony Buzan, Robert Allen, and Brian Tracy to name but a few), but after years of books and seminars, I had so much going on in my head that the ability to walk on hot coals unharmed (yes, twice) wasn&#8217;t great at helping me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Less vs. fewer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Via Mark Pilgrim, another site covering misused expressions:
Less refers to quantity, fewer to number. &#8220;His troubles are less than mine&#8221; means &#8220;His troubles are not so great as mine.&#8221; &#8220;His troubles are fewer than mine&#8221; means &#8220;His troubles are not so numerous as mine.&#8221; It is, however, correct to say, &#8220;The signers of the petition [...]]]></description>

		<title>US Visit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This article in Wired covers the changes in entry restrictions to the US from September 30 2004. This stops short of the biometric passports originally tabled as required from October, but will still require visitors from &#8220;visa waiver&#8221; countries (Andorra, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, [...]]]></description>
