		<description><![CDATA[I get many different reactions when I tell people that I&#8217;m a freelancer. The title apparently comes with a lot of preconceptions, not all of them accurate. I run into these preconceived notions when looking at project and job postings as well. So I thought I&#8217;d take a few minutes to clear up some of [...]]]></description>

I have not yet upgraded to 4 or 5 because it is a) expensive and b) Adobe seems to crank out new versions at warp speed even if it&#8217;s unnecessary. BUT, that aside, it is a wonderful [...]]]></description>

Contrary to popular belief, Wordpress is not only for blogs. It&#8217;s one of the better blog management tools out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last time on Decoding Design, I decoded the basic terminology regarding color profiles. This time, I&#8217;m going to decode the world of building a website.

I&#8217;ve had a personal account on Twitter for ahwile, and have found it useful for following people who post interesting articles or blog posts related to their specialty, and I&#8217;ve decided to take advantage of that in the design field. [...]]]></description>
