How this "XML" thing works is actually kind of cool. It basically makes maintaining your webpage a little bit easier. Once you've picked (or had someone design) your site for you (using XML and XSLT), it's easy to add/remove/edit items on your site, all in plain English :) Don't believe me? Take a look at the page source.

So I finally jumped on the XML bandwagon. For those who remember the old XHTML (old?) bandwagon I jumped on, here's the difference: XHTML is still HTML, only it conforms to XML standards. This time, things are totally different. This time, this page is pure XML, using my own custom-made XML schema, and applying an XSLT stylesheet to do the XML to HTML transformation. This is probably gibberish to most people. I promise that soon I will have a Real Example for you to learn from :)
