Inspired, I got out on the two-wheeler Sunday morning to [...]]]></description>

		<title>First race of the season&#8230;</title>

		<title>WordPress Search Engine Result Exploit!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just figured out a fairly sneaky WordPress exploit &#8211; one that you won&#8217;t even notice if you visit an exploited WordPress installation with a &#8220;normal&#8221; browser like Firefox or Internet Explorer. The exploit only &#8220;does it&#8217;s thing&#8221; when visited by a non-standard browser like a text-only one (like old-school Lynx) or, the intended target [...]]]></description>

		<title>HOWTO: Build a Better Blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past couple of years I have found myself perusing and eventually following a number of local/regional/national blogs and sites on stuff that I find interesting &#8211; cooking, baseball, model sailplanes, cycling, what-have-you.
