		<title>How to allow user background music with OpenAL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Version 1.0 of Alien Swing has no music included, but also won't let you listen to your own music while you play.

		<title>Stumbling out of the gate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alien Swing has been on the store for just over three weeks now, and we've had several fairly positive reviews (here, here and here), we were even briefly features under "New and Noteworthy" on the US store. But sales have been... lackluster, shall we say.
Unfortunately this has meant that there's not enough money coming in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Video (almost) direct from the iPhone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Video of your game is kinda of a must have promotional tool but unfortunately there is no simple, sensible way to capture video from the iPhone. The earlier videos I posted where taken on a digital camera - but the quality just isn't there, even with a tripod and I don't fancy forking out for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Submitted!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alien Swing is now with Apple for review. The plan is that I'll spend the next week and half getting a good looking website and some promo videos together and generally trying to pimp it to App Review sites and on iPhone forums before release on Friday 5th February.
Although that, of course, depends on it [...]]]></description>

		<title>A few screenshots</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven't updated much lately, what with Christmas and New Year. Here's a few screenshots so you can see how the game is progressing:

		<title>Ever onward</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hmm... haven't updated for a while; but we've got a lot done. The arts started going in and now I've put in some of the scoring, life-tracking, and frontend code and you can begin to see the final game emerging from the fog. A lot of my time, though, has been spent doing stuff that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Concept Art</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are some concept art sketches for the central character, which we will try out in-game and see which 'fits' the best. Each is intended to emanate a tongue, rope or tractor-beam from which to swing by. As well as the visual fit of the character, the choice may effect the range of background environments [...]]]></description>
