I want to post a Flickr link<\/a> in my sidebar (mostly because I’m thinking of upgrading to Pro so I can start to post lots and lots of pictures there), but when I try to do so, the html code gets messed up. The pointy brackets at the beginning of the script get turned into ampersand, l, t, and semi-colon. This also happens when I try to copy and paste what I write (in TextEdit) using the Firefox or Opera or Safari browser. Weirdly, I can only post something using an ancient version of Internet Explorer. When I tried, just now, to add the Flickr link code to the ‘About’ sidebar, however, even IE wouldn’t do it. Hence, a test to see whether the code will work in a regular post:<\/p>\n

Nope, doesn’t work. You cannot see the lovely Flickr link, can you? You see a pointy bracket at the beginning of the code, but what I see in the posting window is this:<\/p>\n

& l t ; script type=”text\/javascript”> (albeit without the spaces inbetween the ampersand, the l, the t, and the semi-colon: I had to put those in, otherwise it shows up as a pointy bracket — without making the desired link, though. <\/p>\n

The closing pointy bracket stayed ok, but the opening pointy bracket got changed (why??) to & l t ; . If I type that sequence without spaces, it will show up as a pointy bracket [______________________________________________
\nRe. the long lag in posting anything here: been sick. Really really sick, something to share with the rest of the family, too. Better now; they, too. Spent much time reading, as well as writing annoying letters to the BC Minister of Agriculture; the local paper (in their online “sound off section” — actually, that was a short note); a biographical paragraph for an upcoming election (that was interesting: I learned something about myself); and several seemingly endless harangues to various educational personages concerning technology usage. <\/p>\n

My first sculpture model in decades sits unfinished in another room. My camera wants me to take it places, to document our supposed booming growth in the Capitol Regional District — as well as a stunning (finally) piece of setting sun (sun, we actually saw the sun today!) over the Juan de Fuca Strait, with the Olympic Mountain range in the background, and my head is full of readings on biogenetics and biomimicry (William Leiss’s & Michael Tyshenko’s “Life in the Fast Lane: An Introduction to Genomics Risks” and Janine Benyus’s book, Biomimicry<\/i>), but let’s not forget what’s really important in a life like this: getting the laundry done. That’s my life: between the sheets, or washing ’em. Sigh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
