		<description><![CDATA[Rock and roll has always been a contrary form of music. At once &#8216;the devil&#8217;s music&#8217; and the soundtrack to the American Dream, it has leant itself to as much commercial dogma as rebellious transgression. Rock and roll is both savage and servile. It&#8217;s sexual awakenings and automobile sales. This moral and ideological duplicity is [...]]]></description>

In the same article I mentioned a frustrating deficit of high quality, free icon web fonts available for embedding and conceded my own failure at building one with Fontstruct (less [...]]]></description>

Prefixing (or occasionally suffixing) hyperlinks with little icons can be helpful for qualifying the type of action the link offers the user. A classic example is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Death and Extreme Metal musicians account for a large proportion of the most accomplished, technically skilled musicians in the world.

It&#8217;s not always obvious what effect its use has on SEO and its impact on accessibility can be problematic. I hope this post helps to clarify the situation.
