		<title>How to convert a website favicon.ico into an image</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Few google searches bing back, oops, bring back amazing finds like this.

		<title>Evil Free WordPress Themes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've noticed a common thread in the free WordPress theme collections out there, embedded links for sometimes very strange products. It's done by adding the links to the footer, sometimes in plain html other times in encrypted php code. The latest I've found is the most elaborate.

		<title>How to forward a Wordpress Page to an external URL.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since there is no option to do this in the page itself you have to use a page template.
1. Create a file called redirect_twitter.php with the text below and save it to your theme folder (/public_html/wp-content/themes/yancytheme/redirect_twitter.php).
&#60;?php
/*
Template Name: Redirect Twitter
*/

header('Location: http://twitter.com/yancylent');
