		<title>One of those weeks&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You might have noticed that I&#8217;ve been a bit quiet on the blogging front recently. Well, it all comes down to computers - you see, like cars they go wrong and, like cars, there is never a good time for it to happen.
I had a week off over half term. Feeling relaxed and full of [...]]]></description>

		<title>StumbleUpon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[According to NetCraft as of January 2008 there are over 155.5 million web sites out here on the Internet.
Hmm, that&#8217;s a lot of web sites. Don&#8217;t know about you but, if I&#8217;m looking for something specific, using Google and following links on relevant web-sites seems to get me the information I need. But what about [...]]]></description>

		<title>No &#163; sign on my computer!</title>

It must be really annoying if your computer doesn&#8217;t do £ signs and you live in the UK. And it&#8217;s also frustrating when the @ symbol is in the wrong place.
If you&#8217;re having this problem it&#8217;s because the language settings on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Office for Free</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, so you need to be able to create and read Microsoft Word, Excel or Power Point files. Why? Because in the real world that&#8217;s what nearly everyone else can do - and it&#8217;s handy if other people can read and print out that book you wrote and sent on disk! Equally handy if you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slow Computer?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you noticed that your computer seems to be slowing down as time goes on? 
There can be a number of reasons for this, one of them being failure to keep on top of some basic housekeeping. If the terms &#8216;Disk Cleanup&#8217; and &#8216;Defrag&#8217; (defragment) don&#8217;t mean anything to you then the following should help [...]]]></description>

		<title>Easier Reading</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Eyes not what they used to be? Hate to admit it, but neither are mine - and I&#8217;m forever losing my glasses.
Well, over the past few years most web designers have put an awful lot of work into making their web sites easier to read. Trouble is, I find that most people don&#8217;t know how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Essential Security</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Feel safe because you&#8217;re using the Windows firewall? Don&#8217;t - it&#8217;s not very good. Firewall? What&#8217;s a firewall? Using the anti-virus program that came with your computer? Are you sure it&#8217;s up to date, and have you got anti-spyware software?
This posting tells you how to keep your data as secure as possible when connected to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Save Money!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, it&#8217;s that time of year when many of us turn our thoughts to the old bank balance. 
So, in this post I thought I&#8217;d point out one web site and one bit of free software that might help you to get things under control.

		<title>Arts &#038; Letters Daily, SciTech Daily</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Both of the two sites that I&#8217;m going to recommend here have been around the net for some time now, and neither actually produce any original content of their own. Even though they&#8217;re nothing to do with the Quantocks they&#8217;re so good I&#8217;ve had them buried away at the bottom of the links page of [...]]]></description>

		<title>TED.Com</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For my first post I really can&#8217;t do better than to introduce you to
TED.com . And by way of introduction I can&#8217;t do better than quote from their web site.
[TED] aims to provide a platform for the world&#8217;s smartest thinkers, greatest visionaries and most-inspiring teachers, so that millions of people can gain a better understanding [...]]]></description>
