		<description><![CDATA[There are many options to choose from when you need to store an encrypted value in a database. After trying a few, I recently settled on Sean Huber&#8217;s delightful attr_encrypted gem.
To use attr_encrypted you&#8217;ll need to first install the gem (gem install shuber-attr_encrypted --source http://gems.github.com), then either require it in your class or via config.gem. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I should first begin with a brief apology. A few weeks ago I posted my thoughts on the KCATA.org website. They weren&#8217;t the kindest, and I should have put myself in that designers shoes first.
