Overtime
I've been working overtime again, this time on the blog. Apparently the font on my new blog template translated em-dashes, apostrophes, and quotation marks into things like this: ’. So, I went back through every blog entry and manually changed them. I won't even guess how many hours it took. Let's put it this way: many, many hours. However, I'm glad it's done and now the text is readable again. If you see strange characters like ’, let me know. (Unfortunately, I can't edit them out of the comments, but feel free to point out any others.)
While I was making these manual changes, I added links where appropriate and corrected inconsistencies--for example, "book signing" should now be two words instead of one word in some places and two words in others. I also changed the titles of some posts. Sometimes I hate being a writer; I can never resist the urge to revise.

I notice when I write my entries in Word that this happens to my blog. I think it has something to do with the font that was used to write the entries versus what the template is set to display. But don't quote me on that. I feel your pain though because I've had to go back and change all those things too after posting an entry. It is irritating, isn't it?
Yes, that's Word for you. I got in the habit of using it months ago when I lost a few long blog entries and had to rewrite them. I'll still probably use it, then change them manually in Blogger.
