		<title>Understanding CSS and Floats</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Floats are a powerful feature of CSS and for the most part are pretty straightforward to use.
However, there are many subtleties about them which can cause people to wonder why, for example, images aren&#8217;t correctly positioned.
Usually the quickest solution is to throw a bunch of clear: both CSS rules either onto objects or onto empty [...]]]></description>

		<title>CSS and jQuery animation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Animation in web applications can do more than add pizazz to a page, it can give good visual cues to the user as to what is happening.
For example, consider an image carousel, where you have one largish image and smaller ones in the background.
Having images animate to get larger and move into place (in addition [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coloring odd/even rows of lists</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are several methods you can use to create odd/even stripes for lists to make them easier to scan. A List Apart had an article about creating stripes, but being over five years old, it understandably doesn&#8217;t cover some newer techniques which are available. Then again, the need to support legacy browsers makes the article [...]]]></description>

		<title>Setting Cookies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A co-worker mentioned one day that he was having problems with setting multiple cookies in the same Set-Cookie HTTP header, but things were fine if they were set with separate headers. He noted that it was not consistent across browsers, and that the specs seem to indicate that you can set multiple cookies with a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wordpress and comments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Imagine my surprise when I finally got around to testing comments on this live site and found they weren&#8217;t working at all. Then imagine my confusion of them working on my test site just fine, with all the same settings.
My apologies for anyone who has tried to submit a comment. For what it&#8217;s worth, you [...]]]></description>

		<title>CSS3 Columns</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
	CSS3 has a module which describes Multi-column layout which at first glance seems similar to table layouts. The main difference is contents in a block with multi-column layout will flow into the multiple columns, while content in tables will stay within the original columns.
	

	
	The multi-column layout working draft has been around for a while, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>CSS and Tables, part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a previous post about using CSS to style HTML tables, I covered collapsing borders, empty cells, and the inline-table display type. In this post I&#8217;ll cover headers and footers, captions, and columns, as well as other points which are good to know when using CSS with tables.
As with the previous post, the information in [...]]]></description>

		<title>CSS and Tables, part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Modern browsers have the ability to display very complex HTML tables when using CSS to style them. While there are people who frown upon using tables for page layout, there&#8217;s no better nor no more flexible way to display tabular data than using tables. While this post is not a tutorial on HTML tables, it [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPhone 3D CSS transformations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The current version of Mobile Safari on the iPhone and iPod touch allow you to do 3D transformations in CSS. This allows you to give objects perspective and rotation in 3D space, as well as the ability to use transitions and animations.
This example shows how to apply perspective, as well as applying rotation with a [...]]]></description>

		<title>SSL, IP addresses, and ports</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This follow-up to my post about SSL and IP addresses covers using SSL with multiple ports on the same IP address. We often use alternate port numbers to provide test versions of a host or application, since just changing the port number keeps the ServerName the same.
It&#8217;s very straightforward to set up Apache with an [...]]]></description>
