		<description><![CDATA[As the developer responsible for my employer&#8217;s website (a technical school for high school students and adults) I was also made responsible for creating and cultivating membership to the school&#8217;s Facebook page.  Our school is different from a high school in that we aren&#8217;t guaranteed enrollment from year-to-year, and so we&#8217;re constantly looking to improve our marketing.

It may take the mind of a true geek to really care about the difference, but the World Wide Web is actually only a small fraction of the Internet.

Most electronics contain components that are [...]]]></description>
