When you re-upload the file, does it still contain » and not the actual » character itself? Go to your site and view your source code with your browser. If so, your FTP or text editing app might be converting the ascii code to the character automatically and autoannoyingly…

That’s a really really nice looking site, I can appreciate the amount of time and effort that’s gone into it!

The only one tiny picky little thing I noticed, of the random pictures displayed at the top, some of them have a bit of white foam the top of the wave, right where some of the numbers on the calendar are, making it a bit hard to see them!

You need to put an absolute path, not a relative path.

For example use https://www.vaguely.org/blog/weblog.css rather than just putting blog/weblog.css

You may be using an odd font in the title bar of your operating system which doesn’t contain the &raquo character. Try changing it to a default font like Arial just to check. On Windows this is Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Display -> Appearance. You can change the font from there.

If the page you’re trying to put WordPress things into is in a another folder, you need to change the path so it gets it from the correct place.

If your WordPress installation is in the root of your website then first you need to ‘back up’ out of your folder using:

require('../wp-blog-header.php');

(notice there are two dots at the beginning, not just one). If it’s installed in a folder called wordpress then you need to ‘back up’ then add the wordpress folder:

require('../wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
