Livejournal WTFery?
January 15th, 2009 09:03 amI posted links to my art yesterday. This morning I actually checked them, it not having occured to me that I'd have to check links that were a direct copy-paste. They were borked. I looked at the code I'd entered. It was not borked. I clicked on the link, looked at the address in the bar. Borked.
So, in the program I'm using for my webpage (Zenphoto), albums and images are generated with an address path including "album & image = image" (only without spaces). Well and dandy. Enter Livejournal.
Livejournal replaces the "& image" part of this with a, er, squiggle. Some kind of special character of which neither I nor my website are aware.
For whatever reason, entering the links as links in Rich Text format sorts it out, but there was a bit of hair-tearing. Anyone know why the "& image" section of the address is so problematic?
