		<title>A LibriVox Wiffiti thing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just found a funky Flash gadget which pulls Tweets on my chosen topics of &#8220;LibriVox&#8221;, &#8220;public domain&#8221; and &#8220;free audio&#8221; together into a nice dooflip.  Would be awesome at conferences, where everyone&#8217;s got a hashtag in common!

		<title>On cataloging invisible things &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been kicking around thoughts on how best to organise the LibriVox catalogue in the future, especially when the new design is implemented. LibriVox is a collection of people who speak many languages, and who record public domain audiobooks in most of them.
Currently, we organise by Category (out of Fiction, Poetry, Non-fiction, Dramatic Works &#8212; [...]]]></description>

		<title>A bit of LibriVox fundraising</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, LibriVox has been running for over four years, on a budget of $0 &#8230; everyone at LibriVox is a volunteer, reading, listening and supporting audiobook production for free, because they think it&#8217;s fun in some way.  Behind the scenes, all the costs have been taken care of by a few individuals, along with [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Katy Did Next and language-learning at LibriVox</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My first release of the New Year &#8211; a chapter contributed to What Katy Did Next by Susan Coolidge. I nabbed the section on her visit to England, and although it made me a little cross in places (we Brits have NOT &#8220;forgotten&#8221; Jane Austen, and I&#8217;m not sure there&#8217;s ever been a time we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back to Graustark, podcasts and blog-meta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, another volume from the histories of that fictitious country, Graustark, has been released.  No strange accents snuck into this one (in a previous volume, an otherwise innocent-looking character came out of my mouth with a deep, gentle Transylvanian lilt, which oddly, wasn&#8217;t inappropriate, but was a huge surprise since I hadn&#8217;t planned it [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Levelling up&#8221; in 1873</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was reading &#8220;The Intellectual Life&#8221; by P.G. Hamerton the other day, as you do.  It&#8217;s a book of hypothetical letters to some imaginary friends around the theme of being a proper Victorian intellectual (it was published in 1873.) And in one essay, I was much amused to find an unexpectedly-modern usage of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>More D.H. Lawrence poetry: Malade and One Woman to All Women</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I do like D. H. Lawrence&#8217;s poetry.  It&#8217;s mostly well-written, thoughtful stuff, without (too often) being stuffy, pompous or boring.  So, last month I recorded a couple for the LibriVox Short Poetry Collection.
Malade is a sickbed poem, straightforward and elegant.

		<title>Kipling&#8217;s Explanation and a Navajo Liturgy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, I have indeed been at the poetry this month &#8230; another two pieces of mine have just hit the catalogue.
Rudyard Kipling&#8217;s The Explanation was last week&#8217;s LibriVox Weekly Poetry, and saw quite a good turnout &#8211; I&#8217;m one of 16 people who recorded it. A simple little poem, it was something quick to warm [...]]]></description>

		<title>New solo complete: Royal Children of English History</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I came across this lovely book about a month ago.  Shortly after, a partner-in-crime whizzed it through Distributed Proofreaders in most accomplished style, and it was stored at Project Gutenberg.  Preserving all its charming illustrations, and quite a bit of the book&#8217;s layout, I might add!
And then I took a holiday and recorded [...]]]></description>
