			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>    I decided to scrap the site I had written from scratch for now. It was functional and worked, but updating and making design changes took a lot of work. Until I have time and motivation to change the code, I choose to relaunch using WordPress. This will (hopefully) allow me to focus on the content until I can revisit the presentation.</p>
<p>Speaking of presentation (<em>look at that smooth <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segue">segue</a></em>), I was doing some work on the interface today for a C# program for work and stumbled upon <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/">Yahoo!&#8217;s Design Pattern Library</a>. It&#8217;s a catalog of common interfaces, the problems they attempt to solve, and a discussion on the pros and cons. It&#8217;s certainly not the only pattern library available, but it has a fairly extensive collection with good examples. Many, if not most, of the designs should be familiar to you, as they grace a number of websites.</p>
