		<title>Planet Wordpress Plugin Released</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love the Planet feed aggregator, but I hate managing it via a text configuration file.  I created a Wordpress plugin that automatically creates a Planet configuration file from the links that are stored in a Wordpress database.

		<title>New Years Resolutions</title>

Learn a functional programming language.  Any suggestions on which one to try out first?

		<title>Exporting Posts from Wordpress 2.5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I tried exporting some posts from one Wordpress 2.5 blog to another Wordpress 2.5 blog.  The import worked perfectly, but then I realized that I had forgotten to import one of the posts.  Rather than doing to the whole import again, I decided to just import the post that I had forgotten.

		<title>Adding Meta Information to a Blogroll</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I found a useful blog post on how to add text fields to the &#8220;link management&#8221; admin menu in Wordpress:  http://planetozh.com/blog/2008/02/wordpress-snippet-add_meta_box/
But how do you save this information into your database?  This is a three step approach.

1.  Add the fields to you database:

add_action('activate_geo_blogroll.php','geo_blogroll_update_db');
