Thx man. I hope it works.

They were generated by the insane Blogger WYSIWYG editor, which I pretty
much don't use much anymore. I use the Blogger HTML editor, which is
basically just Notepad on the Blogger site. That WYSIWYG editor is so
broken it is not even funny. Sometimes it just goes berserk and puts in
like 1000's of <font> tags and closes them inexplicably with </span>.
Plus it will take every word in a paragraph and make some weird broken
<a> tag, like <a href = They> <a href = were> <a href = generated> using
this paragraph. It's just wacko. Plus if you fix & errors to & and
then reload the WYSIWYG, it helpfully "unfixes" them back to &! Thanks!

At the moment, I have some code (mostly from advertisers) that I can't
seem to "fix" without breaking the ad code visually. So I left the
"errors" in. You are welcome to give it a whirl if you wish. Let me know
and I will post with the problematic code.
