    As for the encoding, I don’t think I have ever changed the encoding on anything, ever. How can I troubleshoot this? It only does it with ” and ‘

    The encoded character being displayed doesn’t correlate to a quote character.  Are you cutting and pasting your entry text from a word processor by chance?  The entry in question, go to the Edit page, cut and paste the contents from the custom field into this forum thread in a code block, please.

    The power of visual storytelling (or visual journalism) is extraordinary, not that I need to remind you. Photographers have to use new tools as they become available; they must take advantage of advancements in technology before others have seized the opportunity. I often think about creating models and ideas to present to you. I view you as a board of directors for Vewd. (You do tell me what to do often enough.) It would work something like this: I bring an idea here to this forum — a strange idea using a technology you may know nothing about — and I then invite your opinions. Would this be an interesting thing to invest time in? Should we make an effort to develop this? How would you use it? I am interested in orchestrating things we will all benefit from, so why not bring it to you before I invest the time and money? Why not let you help me create this from the start? Why not look to you to improve it? I intend to do that and more in the future. For now, I want to hear your most outlandish ideas about a tool. If you could have a tool that did ANYTHING, what would that tool be?

    I was absolutely wrong, it is the extended, or double dash. I will just make sure that our writers avoid those.

    I thank you so much Derek for your help!

    Ah, glad you spotted it.  If you’re using Auto-XHTML with ExpressionEngine, it will automatically convert two dashes to an em-dash, e.g.—
