“Gobbley” Quotes

68 words.

I just reconfigured the blog to use the ISO-8859-1 charset so those silly “smart” quotes work right. I’m always having to change them back to “dumb” quotes and half the time I forget when pasting text so weird gobbley characters get into my writing. It’s a real pain. Just to test the new charset out, this post has several smart quotes, both of the single and double variety.

There may be formatting problems that I haven't addressed yet. There may be problems with missing or mangled images that I haven't fixed yet. There may have been comments on the original post, which I have archived, but I haven't quite worked out how to show them on the new site.
