I updated all my blogs to Wordpress 2.2 and now they all have character issues, such as posts that use apostrophes as in it’s.
And I’m definitely not the guy to figure out why and how to fix it.

There is a Jim Cuddy song (Pull Me Through) where the lyrics go something like, “There are letters left unopened here, there never is the time; there are messages I should return …”
