Comments choked on a tittle

D’oh!Cross your i’s, dot your t’s, and never, ever, ever put a tittle or iota where it doesn’t belong. Because it causes critical errors and terminal failures. The modest quotation mark may be small, but it is oh so powerful.

Some readers will have noticed that the comment post form hasn’t worked for a few days. That is why. A single quotation mark broke a string, causing a perplexed blank stare from WordPress. Thanks to Hard Rain for pointing out things were broken. I thought nobody loved me anymore.

If you tried to comment in the last few days, please accept my apologies for wasting your time, and by all means try again. It should work now, because this time I did something really radical: testing. I should patent that idea. I’m sure it’s fairly novel.
