I went to do something that should have been simple tonight.  I was going to add the chapter image for Lowborn Ch. 01 to the “My Work Extras” page.  Should have been simple.  Drop in a couple of lines of code and done.

Not to be.

After wondering why it kept coming up with errors and staring at the two new lines forever, I decided to check my single quotes.

When I did this page, I had to go through and replace every apostrophe with the html special character, in order to avoid conflicting with the code markup.  It took frikkin’ forever, but the code finally saved.

Something in the last update of the software had gone through and replaced all those special characters with single quotes again!  AAARGH!

So, I went through and replaced them with curly single quotes this time.  Fortunately, it worked.

From the user side, the page was working fine.  It was only when I tried to save those two new lines that the software picked up on the error it had created.

I had to do this on other pages, so I’m probably going to have to go through and check every bloody one of them.

Anyway, after that fiasco, I put the two lines of code in, and the chapter image is finally on the page, awaiting the release of Ch. 01 on Lit.

As to everything else, I’m getting a little writing done, and Lowborn continues to move through the editing queue.  Eight is in Roust’s hands now.

Just had to vent :p
