	<title>Rockrattler and Moving Day - April 13, 2007</title>
	<link>http://larockclub.com/</link>
	<description>The April issue of the &lt;a href="http://www.larockclub.com/rockrattler/index.html"&gt;Rock Rattler&lt;/a&gt; is now available for &lt;a href="http://www.larockclub.com/rockrattler/download.html"&gt;download&lt;/a&gt;. It was explained to the club at April's meeting that I will be moving the site to a new webhost as part of my own website,  but with the same domain name. In the best case scenario,  you shouldn't notice a thing. In the worst case scenario,  the site could be offline for a day or two. That move will take place in the coming days and weeks.</description>

	<title>March Rockrattler - March 3, 2007</title>
	<link>http://larockclub.com/</link>
	<description>The March issue of the &lt;a href="http://www.larockclub.com/rockrattler/index.html"&gt;Rock Rattler&lt;/a&gt; is now available for &lt;a href="http://www.larockclub.com/rockrattler/download.html"&gt;download&lt;/a&gt;. I've removed the image puzzles from the &lt;a href="http://www.larockclub.com/kids.html"&gt;For Kids! page&lt;/a&gt; due to some quality assurance issues. Further research on rock image puzzles is pending.</description>

	<link>http://larockclub.com/</link>
	<description>The February issue of the &lt;a href="http://www.larockclub.com/rockrattler/index.html"&gt;Rock Rattler&lt;/a&gt; is now available for &lt;a href="http://www.larockclub.com/rockrattler/download.html"&gt;download&lt;/a&gt;. Once again, two more videos have been added to the &lt;a href="http://www.larockclub.com/galleries/videos/rockshow2006.html"&gt;Rock Show 2006 Video Gallery&lt;/a&gt;. One is a &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfOhoUJVZK4"&gt;geode cracking demonstration&lt;/a&gt; and the other is a &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btvbJ_JW9K4"&gt;marble cutting demonstration&lt;/a&gt;. Small additions of contact information were made to the &lt;a href="http://www.larockclub.com/club/officers.html"&gt;Club Officers page&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.larockclub.com/contact.html"&gt;Contact Us page&lt;/a&gt;. Other small wording changes were made throughout the site. I've also made some minor changes to the underlying site code structure to make it more standardized and hopefully more stable. You shouldn't notice any differences from the code structure changes.</description>
