			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The web programmer in me couldn&#8217;t leave well enough alone.. even though I have exactly zero traffic right now I just had to get proper caching going (you know, just in case this <em>extremely</em> insightful post gets slashdotted or dugg or featured in the NY Times or, or, or something).</p>
<p>I&#8217;m using the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-cache/">WP-cache plugin</a>, which seems to work pretty well.  It did give me problems at first, because I can never bear to set up a PHP install without <a href="http://pecl.php.net/package/APC">APC</a> installed for a free speed boost&#8211;why, you ask?  see the first paragraph&#8211;and as I eventually learned this can lead to segmentation faults when using WP-cache.</p>
<p><a href="http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2006/02/13/adventures-with-wp-cache2-apc/">This helpful post</a> on a blog called Mark on Wordpress helped me resolve the problem; it was a simple matter of convincing apc that it should ignore certain files related to the plugin.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At a certain point in the development of any real blog theme, it becomes necessary to write some meaningless text which includes most of the layout options that you plan on using.  This, dear reader, is that text.  <strong>Behold:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>This page contains an unordered list.</li>
<li>The content is utterly meaningless, but that&#8217;s ok because all we really care about is the structure.  This line is extra long so that it should wrap.</li>
<li>This line is short.</li>
</ul>
<p>But when it comes to FPO text, that&#8217;s not <em>all</em> you get!  You also get:</p>
<ol>
<li>What&#8217;s this?  AN ORDERED LIST!</li>
<li>The content is utterly meaningless, but that&#8217;s ok because all we really care about is the structure.  This line is extra long so that it should wrap.</li>
<li>This line is short.</li>
</ol>
<p>In addition to lists, this blog is likely to involve <del datetime="2007-09-11T02:11:45+00:00">bugs</del> code.  And that should be formatted something like this:</p>
<pre>
$var = 'Some kind of value';
for ($array as $key=>$value) {
    $value->doSomethingNeat($make, $a, $long, $line, $here, $please);
}
</pre>
<p>Also, we may sometimes need to quote from another source.</p>
<blockquote><p>
Candy is dandy.<br />
But liquor is quicker.<br />
 &#8212; Ogden Nash
</p></blockquote>
<p>Finally, from time to time our code is likely to contain a link like http://www.yahoo.com/.  Or even like <a href="http://www.yahoo.com">yahoo</a>.</p>
