<![CDATA[Not sure where else to put this, but the search on XHTML Friends doesn't seem to handle apostrophes correctly. It doesn't appear that the apostrophe is getting escaped correctly. If I search for "Caitlin's Random Text", it returns: You searched for Caitlin’s Random Text.
No results.
If I drop the word with the apostrophe and just use “Random Text”, it returns my site to me as expected. Just thought you might want to know about that :).]]>
Thanks. You’d be surprised at how many major sites have problems with apostrophes. I have an apostrophe in my surname, and you’d be surprised at just how many websites tell me that my surname is “invalid” input. Of course, I never considered handling apostrophes until after I got married and changed surnames. Anyway, I’ve been playing with XHTML Friends, and it’s pretty nifty :).
Actually, it’s rather buggy. But I’ll sort it when I’m not so tired…

Seems to be sorted now. There are a few situations that will confuse though that I will have to sort out afterwards.

It thinks my name is “Sören Nils”, when in fact that’s my first and middle name. :>
