		<title>Changing colors of UINavigationBarButtons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alright, here&#8217;s another quick tip.  &#8220;How to change the colors of a button on a toolbar.&#8221;  Of course, this can be applied to any toolbar but I am going to demonstrate the procedure on a UINavigationBar.

The above image only shows a couple of colors.  In truth, you can make the button any [...]]]></description>

		<title>Saving a view as an image.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another real quick tip for you.  Depending on what you&#8217;re doing, why might want to capture a view and store it as an image.  The frameworks make this quick and painless.
The first step you should take is to create a new image context in which we will be working.  The next step [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alternate UISwitch Colors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Once again, Apple has another quite nice method in their bag of UIKit tricks that they don&#8217;t want developers using for some reason.  The alternate colored UISwitch. This is often used to catch the user&#8217;s attention and make them take note.  Look at the &#8220;Airplane Mode&#8221; switch, for an example.  Or, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Embedding UITables into UIAlertViews</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The newer Apple firmware will create a table in your UIAlertView automatically if you create a more than the number of buttons that fit onto the alert.  Note that this number is different in landscape and portrait modes.  I found the implementation to be very unappealing for a few reasons.  First of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t use UITableViewController. Really.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was hesitant to even begin writing this blogpost for two reasons.  First of all, I knew it would be short.  More importantly, though, it&#8217;s because I know some people swear by the opposite.  However, I must insist that you should never use a UITableViewController in your iPhone applications.  
Let&#8217;s go [...]]]></description>

		<title>Localizing your iPhone OS applications in Xcode.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Localization from within Xcode is a little unnatural at first.  And to tell you the truth, I still don&#8217;t like it is handled.  But that&#8217;s neither here nor there.  This post will show you how to add support for localization within your own application.
Localizing
The first thing you need to do is localize [...]]]></description>

		<title>Custom UIAlertView (Color chooser)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In this post, I am going to show you how to make a custom UIAlertView, as seen in the above screenshots and this video.  The custom UIAlertView is a color picker that is taken right out of my PocketTouch application (available on the AppStore very soon!).
To do anything custom to an alert view, we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dynamic rounded rect drawing w/Multitouch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Some of you might want to do Multi Touch within your application, but are a little confused by Apple&#8217;s tutorial at http://developer.apple.com/iphone.  Well, I tried to simplify things a little bit.&#8211;I made a code sample that simply draws a rounded rect whose size is what you make with your fingers.  Remember, you will [...]]]></description>
