Re funky characters, I've alerted Brett Fielo, our new tech guy, about the problem---which affects many posts besides yours. He'll also be addressing the matter of the missing images and the AWOL MP3s and the nonfictional "50 latest posts." With 8,000 or so posts to worry about, the migration is far from a simple matter. We're lucky to have Brett--a rather experienced Web guy--on the case. Robert Nagle has kindly pitched in to help us get things back to normal. My own hunch is that a search-and-replace in our database can address the character problem if other things don't work. - David Hi, Chris.

We are still not out of the woods yet--we need to tame images and MP3s--but we're most of the way there. Paul's community observation certainly applies!
