  The blog I need help with is moraghughson.wordpress.com, which isn’t listed in the pull down box above.

  I am successfully about to use the symbol ½ in my posts, but when I try to use ⅓ it fails.

  I type

  ⅓

  and when I save the draft, wordpress changes it to

  ⅓

  which of course then does’t work! Why is it doing this and how do I make it stop?

  I’ve have to switch to using

  ⅓

  which looks different to the normal fraction symbols.

  Hmm, well that wasn’t entirely what I tried to post! I’ll try again!

  When I type
  ⅓
  Wordpress changes it to
  ⅓
  which of course doesn’t work.

  Could really do with a preview button on these forums!

  When I type
  & f r a c 1 3 ;
  Wordpress changes it to
  & a m p ; f r a c 1 3 ;
  which doesn’t work.
