		<title>Your advice for students who want to work on the web</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Next month I&#8217;ll be giving a presentation to some university students who are part way through a degree in web design and development. These students are hoping to join the industry in various different roles at the end of their course.
I would love to include some tips from other people working in the industry. It [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blog redesign</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been posting more frequently lately, and felt that the longer entries were not very readable. This led me to spend some time last weekend attempting a bit of a redesign of this site. I&#8217;m not a designer, but I&#8217;m hoping this is an improvement over the previous templates. As this is my own [...]]]></description>

		<title>Should web designers be able to build their own designs?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday on Twitter Elliott Jay Stocks opened up a huge debate by stating:
Honestly, I’m shocked that in 2010 I’m still coming across ‘web designers’ who can’t code their own designs. No excuse.

Elliott has also gone on to clarify his thoughts in a blog post and I thought I&#8217;d add my thoughts to the debate given [...]]]></description>

		<title>Women and the backchannel responses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wouldn&#8217;t normally write a blog post in response to my own post, however I&#8217;ve had such a lot of comments that I really wanted to properly respond.
Firstly, I did not expect this to touch the nerve it so obviously has with so many people. I wanted to offer my support to the women who [...]]]></description>

		<title>Women and the backchannel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday Drew and I were fortunate enough to be invited down to take part in the 12 hour marathon that was the live recording of the 200th Boagworld podcast. It was a brilliant day, great people, a lovely friendly atmosphere down at The Barn, and lots of interesting people coming on the show and talking [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spec work for web developers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a company edgeofmyseat.com don&#8217;t need to do a lot of responding to tenders. We sometimes help our design agency clients with their pitches but it is fairly rare for us to get a RFP direct to us. However, when we do get sight of these documents &#8211; perhaps because we have been approached directly [...]]]></description>

		<title>On self-promotion, lies, and being a woman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read with interest Clay Shirky&#8217;s post, A Rant About Women and a response by Tom Coates &#8211; Should we encourage self-promotion and lies.
Clay&#8217;s premise is that, &#8220;not enough women have what it takes to behave like arrogant self-aggrandizing jerks&#8221;. Now I&#8217;d hope that most people, male or female, wouldn&#8217;t like to be described in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Choosing web hosting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the great mysteries of life as a web developer is the number of people who are willing to spend several thousand pounds getting a site or web application developed, only to then want it to be deployed on the cheapest of cheap hosting.
At edgeofmyseat.com we pride ourselves in developing efficient, scalable applications. Our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Looking forward to 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A little late, I thought I would kick off the new year here on rachelandrew.co.uk with a round up of last year and some hints as to what I might be up to during 2010.
Despite the recession 2009 was a good year at edgeofmyseat.com. We launched our mini Content Management System, Perch, at the end [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moving accounts from Quickbooks to Xero</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I mentioned in my last post, last year we moved the business accounts for edgeofmyseat.com from Quickbooks to Xero. I&#8217;ve been asked for my opinions of Xero a few times recently and so thought I&#8217;d write this up here and it may be useful to others.
Why move from Quickbooks
