		<description><![CDATA[One of the biggest frustrations with Moodle 2 is the changes to the theme that create an iframe scroll effect for content that exceeds the width of the theme. For example, if your theme is 1000 pixels wide, the gradebook doesn&#8217;t get pushed off the edge, as in Moodle 1.9, but instead is wrapped inside [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This has to be one of the best modules I&#8217;ve seen for Moodle. It&#8217;s created by Sam Marshall from the Open University and still in beta but I simply had to install it. It allows tutors to split a course up into sub-courses and add resources and activities within these sub-courses. A bit like how [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a phrase, or it may even be a brand slogan that says, &#8220;If it&#8217;s worth creating, it&#8217;s worth backing up&#8220;.  And from my experience this week, nothing could be closer to the truth. As the size of the Leeds City College Moodle grows, so does the number of assignments, grades and feedback.  And as [...]]]></description>

I am in the process of converting many custom code projects into blocks and mods. An it&#8217;s surprisingly easy with Moodle 2. [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s been a very busy week but we finally got there.  It&#8217;s by no means finished.  There are still lots of little tweaks needed throughout the summer but it&#8217;s working &#8211; which wasn&#8217;t an easy task.

		<description><![CDATA[For this next part of the process I copied my Moodle 1.9 installation to a local development server.  But to save time I didn't copy the entire MoodleData folder as it's over 160GB.  I only copied the first 20 folders.
As I wouldn't be using LDAP on this test server (yet!) I changed my admin account to a manual account so I didn't lock myself out.

I then flushed out the htdocs folder and copied the Moodle 2.0 installation files across so that I had a clean install with no modifications and ran the install script.]]></description>
