<description><![CDATA[While I liked the fact that my WordPress login and registration pages were seamless with the rest of my site design wise due to a plugin, that ugly non matching user profile page was driving me nuts.

<description><![CDATA[The focus group wasn't huge, but this is the first study/research/documentation I've ever seen about French Canadian search habits. Topics covered included which engines they used, used first, how often, number of keywords used, advanced search operators, how deep they search, opinions on sponsored ads and a bit more. Was definitely interesting to glance at - probably more so if you target Canadian markets.<br/><br/>7 Vote(s) ]]></description>
