  I’ve been doing some research as to why my iPhone wordpress app keeps crashing while trying to save me login info. This is what the iphone wordpress FAQ tells me “Sites with invalid UTF8 characters can cause problems. ” I run the validation and it fails for this reason. I have a wordpress.com blog. How can i fix this. I can’t really control the html. What can i do to fix this? Thanks for any help!

  How long does it normally take for support to get back to you?. It’s been almost a week. Just wondering if that was normal or if my request isn’t going through.

  Send in another ticket is all I can suggest.

  http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fcashmerejm.wordpress.com shows that http://cashmerejm.wordpress.com/2008/07/15/santanoni/ includes invalid characters. All of those funny triangles are invalid characters and need to be removed. They are probably from importing or pasting from another application.

  Don’t forget to include your blog URL in forum posts — it was pretty tricky figuring it out.
