My bad.
Do you want to know what was wrong? Really? Can you handle the complexity? Well strap yourself in, here we go!

You see that? That’s ASCII character 34 (or 22 in hex. I heard you at the back), commonly known as the speech mark, quote mark or double dash (I work with strange people). Here’s a well formed link:

and here’s what I wrote:

Spot the gargantuan cockup? Took me an hour to find it. My apologies are boundless. See how I placate you with Michael Bay eating a bowl of cereal?

Is now a good time to bring up a list of other maintenancey things :p
hopefully new content soon…
Lol, my fave bit was the hose…
Also, welldone for fixing this Neil. Your skills are certainly on the cusp of adequate now.. :o)
New content soon also, been too long since I had a good ill-informed rant about something.
My hatred for you burns hotter than a thousand suns.
Thanks to my feed reader, I hadn’t noticed. (And obviously never clicked on the bust post…)
But still, well done for fixing. The days of my not taking this blog seriously are definitely coming to a middle. ;-)
Such an obvious mistake-a to make-a. Can’t believe it took you so long to spot it! Glad I chose kiddies over computers.
I have to wait to view this at home so didn’t notice either.I can’t read your sparks of genius at work as the pesky educational board veto any sites with rude words in and with all your collective ranting…. :-(
