Believe it or not, yesterday’s post with the code snippets was actually very time consuming to write.
Not that the topic was difficult, but because Wordpress (the software that this blog uses) doesn’t handle code very well.

So as a note to myself and other Wordpress bloggers, here are the codes for the special characters that Wordpress doesn’t handle very well. Most of the codes were originally found on Lorelle’s blog, although I did add a few more to the list.

• " - Quote Mark “
• ' - Apostrophe ‘
• © - Copyright symbol ©
• : - Colon :
• &#59; - Semi-colon ;
• < - Less than <
• = - Equals sign =
• > - Greater than >
• ? - Question mark ?
• @ - Commercial at @
• # - Number sign #
• ÷ - Divide ÷
• ! - Exclamation mark !
• # - Number sign (pound) #
• $ - Dollar sign $
• % - Percent sign %
• & - Ampersand &
• ( - Left parenthesis (
• ) - Right parenthesis )
• * - Asterisk *
• + - Plus sign +
• , - Comma ,
• - - Hyphen -
• . - Period (fullstop) .
• / - Forward slash /
• ] - Close square bracket ]
• ^ - Open square bracket [

There are Wordpress plugins that exist to help those who post alot of code. I just do it the hard way, from stupidity
