		<title>Question: How do you know if you are connecting to a legimate website not a scam site?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since security is one of my biggest concerns, this question is great. Fortunately, the mainstream web browsers make it easy to detect scam and phishing websites. There are also some plugins that can be installed to assist in detected phishing sites. Phishing websites are sites that look like your bank, Paypal, Ebay, or another financial [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shortcut of the Day: Win+E</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Windows Key is fantastic. It&#8217;s not just to bring up the Windows menu. One of the additional shortcuts is Win+E, which starts Windows Explorer as if you had just opened up &#8220;My Computer.&#8221; It&#8217;s a quick and easy way to navigate to all of your files.

		<title>Shortcut of the Day: Alt+Tab, Shift+Alt+Tab</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s shortcut is nice and simple. If you have multiple programs running on your computer, you can cycle through each one quickly to switch between them. While holding Alt, each press of the Tab button will cycle through one program. A little display pops up with a quick description of what program is currently selected. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shortcut of the Day: Ctrl+Del</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The shortcut for today is another that helps in the realm of word processing and email composing. Ctrl+Del behaves similar to the normal delete function, but deletes an entire word rather than a single character. You might be noticing a pattern developing with the Ctrl button. There are plenty of shortcuts that use the Ctrl [...]]]></description>

		<title>My new project: Digital TV receiver and Video Recorder</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve started a new project that should cut my bills down by a little more than $80 a month. I&#8217;ve heard a lot about building a DVR using a computer, essentially building a Media Center PC at home. I want to take it a step further and completely eliminate my cable TV bill. Most TV [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shortcut of the Day: Ctrl + Left or Right</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s shortcut is another one that&#8217;s great when doing any sort of text entry. Ctrl+Left or Right causes the cursor to move the desired direction by a full word (This is opposed to the normal Left or Right behavior of moving a single character). When writing up an email or a document of some kind, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shortcut of the Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m starting a new series to help get things going a bit. The shortcut of the day will be an outline of one keyboard shortcut every day. Keyboard shortcuts are useful because they cut down on the number of steps you need to know to get a desired result.
For example: sometimes you&#8217;ll need to know [...]]]></description>

		<title>Question: I went wireless and now Outlook Express doesn&#8217;t work. How do I fix it?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Q: I used to have dial-up, but my neighbor is allowing me to use their wireless network to access the internet. I can reach web pages, but Outlook Express isn&#8217;t getting my email. How do I fix it?
This is most likely because Outlook Express is still looking for your dial-up connection and not the wireless [...]]]></description>

		<title>Unscheduled Downtime</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So it appears that something happened to my account and everything was wiped out. I&#8217;m still waiting to hear from my hosting service, Blue Host, what went wrong. The great news is that they restored everything in my account less than five minutes after I submitted a help ticket. Thanks Blue Host!

		<title>Network at home? Share files with a file server.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently got fed up with storing backups on the same computer. I&#8217;ve been using a second hard drive to store my backup data, including pictures and music. This got frustrating because access from another computer was difficult since I dual boot my computer with linux. I also reformat so often that access from other [...]]]></description>
