Fixing the Blogspot syntax error

I figured out how to do it. Describing what the problem is and how to fix it is a different matter entirely.

Since Blogger/Blogspot expands their tags when I use them, I have to escape them. If I knew what dollar sign was in base 16, I would fix that. Unfortunately, I do not.

See the comment for my earlier post on the subject. It has a little help in it that will point you in the right direction. I do not know if it is the best direction, but it is one that works - and it is the simplest way to solve the problem.

Talk Digger: find, follow and join discussions evolving on the Internet.

I came across this pretty interesting-sounding website this morning. It is called Talk Digger.

Talk Digger lets you see what is going on with a certain web page in terms of interest in it. At least interest in it so far as people are writing its URL down and saving it on the web. Presumably, in the interest of saying something about it or remembering it.

The explanation below is taken from the Talk Digger home page. It explains it better than I can. (Note if you are in China, the author says you cannot reach his page, his site, or his service.)

Talk Digger:

It is simple. You have in hand the URL of a piece of news of the BBC, a blog post, a product page, or any other web page, and you want to know who is talking about it, you want to know what people have to say about it. You copy that URL, paste it in the Talk Digger search box and press Dig it!

Talk Digger will then return results from various search engines. All the results returned contain a link to the URL. This is what we call a conversation: a multitude of people, all over the Internet, linking to a specific URL.

Neat huh?
