		<title>The Perils of Self-Managed Tech Support</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lot of companies, especially the small to mid-sized firms, don&#8217;t see the value in having dedicated tech support. To many, IT is a cost centre with no measurable ROI. Instead, they have someone on the inside who has &#8220;a pretty good feel&#8221; for computer issues. This is the person who does the setups, handles [...]]]></description>

		<title>Traffic Woes and Remote Access</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I write this, there are 2 days left until the beginning of that major winter sporting event which tends to be very protective of its&#8217; name. Traffic closures have happened, and with more to come, along with a true crush of visitors and athletes, the worst is yet to happen I think.
So if you&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Media And Windows 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I came across an article on a major US cable news network yesterday, that leaves me feeling a bit baffled. And wondering what happened to the idea of independence in journalism.
The article is a piece on Windows 7. And it proceeds in short order to say that &#8220;A whopping 31% of clients have reported problems [...]]]></description>

		<title>SEO Part Deux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Following up on the last post about search engine optimization (SEO), I wanted to continue with a bit more information on how the whole process is working for me.
Several weeks in, and I&#8217;m even more glad than before that I decided to enlist some professional help. I&#8217;m even more sure than I was before that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Social Media for Business</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I came across an interesting article this morning. I honestly think that business people should pay close attention to this one.
Remember a few years back when the term &#8220;cyber-sqautter&#8221; came into being? It related to people who registered domain names (like acme.com) even though they had no relationship to the company or person? And then [...]]]></description>

		<title>Managing Updates, Fake Emails and Other Stories</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The big theme from my clients for the past couple of weeks has been pretty consistent. I receive an email from a staff member at one of my clients, with a forwarded email message, and a question &#8211; &#8220;Is this legit?&#8221;. Without fail, the answer is no&#8230; the email is not legitimate. It&#8217;s another attempt [...]]]></description>
