Link Problems

I have been having some problems in my posts with links to other sites. I have finally figured it out.

It seems there are two types of quotation marks, and Blogger HTML doesn't properly recognize the "open" and "close" quote marks used by some word processing programs. I have been writing posts in a word processing program, and cutting and pasting them into Blogger. So the link code looks correct when I post it, but doesn't work after publication.

Now that I am aware of the problem, I should be able to reduce the instance of its occurrence, but my apologies in advance for any bad links that slip through.
