		<description><![CDATA[Using ShareThis and want to have a customized version of multiple share buttons on one page?&#160; The ShareThis API developer docs section would have you include a hefty piece of JavaScript wherever you wanted the ShareThis object to occur.&#160; That is not only messy, but not very practical.&#160; I was shocked I couldn’t find anyone [...]]]></description>

		<title>Best Tag Editor jQuery Plugin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I searched around &#34;Googled around&#34; for a nice jQuery Tag editor, and it took me going through quite a few plugins before I found one that had everything I wanted… which included Autocomplete functionality using jQuery UI core.

		<description><![CDATA[I recently had issues where Google was seeing misspellings of a domain names as different websites themselves, and possibly as duplicate content.&#160; The domains were bound to the same web application in IIS and I wanted to fix this without editing the source of the web application itself.

		<description><![CDATA[I came across the need to upgrade from MVC 1 to MVC 3, skipping MVC 2 altogether.&#160; Currently, it doesn’t seem like there are any formal directions coming from Microsoft.&#160; However, I found instructions mentioned in this StackOverflow question.
It appears, as of now, there is a two step process to migrate from MVC 1 to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some have recently posted that a pitfall of the Amazon Simple Email Service is that you can&#8217;t setup it up to work through a traditional SMTP as you can with other services such as SendGrid.&#160; While Amazon SES doesn’t provide a SMTP wrapper, Amazon points out that it can be used with some modifications to [...]]]></description>
