		<description><![CDATA[I should have been inside, working, but found myself standing outside in the sunshine, watching a bee on a flower.

		<description><![CDATA[Following on from yesterday&#8217;s post Minimal Capitals&#8230; today I was watching one of those antiques game shows on the TV and a dealer used the phrase &#8216;minimal furniture&#8217; about an item.
After reacting with &#8220;there&#8217;s that word again!&#8221; I thought about how odd the phrase was. I think he meant &#8216;plain&#8217;. &#8216;Plain&#8217; would be much less [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m used to the following terms:

small capitals

title case

sentence case

lower case

upper case

This one (in an editor&#8217;s style sheet) threw me: minimal capitals.
At first I thought she meant small capitals, and checked with the other editors, who said they didn&#8217;t know what was meant. I looked on the internet for some examples but didn&#8217;t have much luck. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been looking at watermarking my images. I studied one site that looked interesting, but probably isn&#8217;t worth it for a cash-strapped amateur. The watermarking plugin was &#8216;free&#8217;, which seemed strange&#8230; I wasn&#8217;t altogether surprised to find (on reading the terms) that it only works if you take out the subscription.
So&#8230; NOT free. Not particularly [...]]]></description>
