		<description><![CDATA[Last Friday, I did a webcast as a part of the PHP TEK Webcast series. The webcast was on Caching for WordPress.

		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who has worked with WordPress knows that it&#8217;s greatest strength is also one of it&#8217;s greatest weaknesses: it&#8217;s architecture.
