		<title>The Official Goodbye</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well this won&#8217;t come as a surprise to anyone, but I thought I might as well make this official: I&#8217;ve retired from the word of WordPress. I&#8217;m finishing my last few months in dental school right now and will be off to the east coast to start my career. It&#8217;s been a year since I&#8217;ve...]]></description>

		<title>Change &#8216;Enter Title Here&#8217; Text in WordPress 3.1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[WordPress 3.1 adds a new filter that allows you to change the &#8216;Enter Title Here&#8217; text that appears in the title input text field.

		<title>WordPress: How To Add Your Own Authentication Criteria</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While working on an update for the Absolute Privacy WordPress plugin, I decided to re-vamp how the plugin handles authentication. The current version of the plugin (1.3), uses a custom wp_authenticate function which bypasses the standard authentication found in pluggable.php. This has essentially been the standard method of using the functions contained in the pluggable file....]]></description>
