Re: Oddest Thing

Morning all,

I did as was suggested and changed the copyright symbol to &copy and all is
fine.  That will teach me.  If I had done that in the first place I would
not have had to go back and change it in all the sites.  Do it right the
first time I suppose is the lesson here.  Thanks again for checking for me.

Regards,
