		<description><![CDATA[ I&#8217;ve been doing some research over the last few days and have found that niche search is far from solved. Many market verticals are lacking an effective aggregator for timely content. The tools everyone needs are known, but they haven&#8217;t been implemented. Instead of true solutions, we find scraping sites that just suck in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some five or six years ago, I implemented an email data transfer process using PGP to handle file encryption leveraging self signed keys that relied on the freely available tools to handle the encryption of the data. All was good (or good enough). The data was secure, everything worked and I was happy.

For any who are comfortable and familiar withe the existing WordPress administrative screens, I suggest you take a look at the proposed wireframes.

		<description><![CDATA[Cutting through wood with a hand saw is a hard job. Pushing the blade back and forth through the wood slowly but surely making the cut deeper and deeper until it&#8217;s completed is a time consuming, labor intensive task. Once completed, there&#8217;s almost always another piece that needs to be cut.
Often in our daily tasks, [...]]]></description>
