		<title>Just a Touch of Color - Method 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is another method to produce the same effect as these two earlier tutorials. This is my preferred method as it leaves the image untouched, you don&#8217;t have to duplicate the image layer, and you can very easily edit which part of the image is &#8216;highlighted&#8217; later on, if you change your mind.
Let&#8217;s get started.

		<title>Just a Touch of Color - Method 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As promised in an earlier tutorial, here is the second method for highlighting or silouetting a little color from a full color photograph.  This is a better method in my opinion for two reasons.  First it leaves the original photo untouched (which is a prefered method by professionals).  Secondly, it can allow [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s always more features and benefits for those registered with a site than for mere guests. So how do you go about creating one of these systems?

		<title>Preloading Images with CSS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although most people know that you can pre-load images using Javascript, I thought I&#8217;d add my own method; Pre-loading images with CSS.
You can do it in 2 easy steps.

Step 1: 
Put something like this in your CSS file:
#preloadedImages {
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; width: 0;
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; height: 0;
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; background-image: url(path/to/image1.png);
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; background-image: url(path/to/image2.png);
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; background-image: url(path/to/image3.png);
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; background-image: url(path/to/image4.png);
}

		<title>Proper Page Titles for Usability</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Page titles are probably the most overlooked aspect of writing any website. They are important not just for SEO reason, but also for usability. Most websites I have noticed tend to put the company/website name first and then the page title (unfortunately, even this site - which I will be changing ASAP updated).  While [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ad / image Rotation using array</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In many sites, there is the need for some form of ad rotation&#8230;
Serving dynamic content to visitors is great for keeping your site fresh, and this example can be applied to any purpose. Using only “arrays”, it cuts out the need for a database.
