  Can we post bugs here? Ok, I will…

  Create a post, and use quotes in the title, something like:

  HTML “Error” eh?

  Save the post.

  Go to the home page of your WordPress.com blog, and attempt to validate the markup.

  It won’t. This is what was output:

  <a href="http://raster.wordpress.com/2006/03/02/html-error-eh/#comments" title="Comment on HTML "Error" eh?">[3] Comments</a>

  It should be like so:

  <a href="http://raster.wordpress.com/2006/03/02/html-error-eh/#comments" title="Comment on HTML “Error” eh?">[3] Comments</a>

  Which is what happens on the individual post page, but not on the home page.

  Thanks!

  Crap, of course it got eaten a bit…

  Second example should be like so:

  <a href="http://raster.wordpress.com/2006/03/02/html-error-eh/#comments" title="Comment on HTML “Error” eh?">[3] Comments</a>

  (Just in case, that’s & # 8220; and & # 8221; around the word Error, minus the spaces.)

  Argh! Third Try…

  Second example should be like so:

  <a href="http://raster.wordpress.com/2006/03/02/html-error-eh/#comments" title="Comment on HTML &amp;#8220;Error&amp;#8221; eh?">[3] Comments</a>

  Did you send a feedback about this? If not, you should — while the developers drop in here occasionally, they do promise to read every feedback sent and bugs stand a much better chance of getting fixed if reported that way.

  (If you already sent a feedback, thanks.)
