Quick Tip: remove the symbols of your permalinks

WordPress is smart. He knows when you use a proper apostrophe or quotes and converts the symbols that you type in those typographic specific. In simple terms, which means that it uses quotation marks.

The following example:

The Beatles: She is a woman

All very well, until you try to use an apostrophe in a job title.

If you type the in no problem. However, if you paste in the WordPress Visual Editor, your permanent link will be automatically generated with an inside curly apostrophe.

-Is this important? Well, elle may cause some odd with your URL issues, as some sites are going to try and convert the apostrophe HTML entity. In other words, it looks much like an apostrophe anymore.

The main thing that breaks is the TweetMeme widget. Instead of seeing the number of retweets, you get a question mark "?". If you try and tweet the position, you will get a URL error.

The best thing to do is to change your permalink and remove the apostrophe in the URL. Then update your post. The problem will be solved.
