  I just noticed that if I use the > character in the title attribute of an uploaded image that it screws up the resulting HTML and displays as an ugly textual link by mistake. You might want to check your input validation.

  It’s not recommend that we use any unconventional and/or unnecessary punctuation in image file names or post titles. I avoid doing that completely. I would also recommend you enable the following on your blog? Go to Settings > Writing and select “ ___ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then scroll down and click “Save Changes.”
