The wordpress.com host is nice, but I think it is time to move on, and grow up a little bit.

		<description><![CDATA[Nowadays I see a lot of cases where the Apache commons-logging is the default library to use for logging, in combination with Apache log4j. The commons-library is implemented so that it discovers at runtime the actual logging library that you have in your classpath, and delegates all the logging calls to that specific framework.
