Doh - Ecto Lets Me Down

I thought Ecto might be perfect for me, but then I just got let down In my last post, the following quote, when pasted in from the original NYT article, ended up with garbled text after the apostrophe in “Toyota’s”.

It’s likely due to the fact that it’s a special character vs. a basic character and either WordPress and/or Ecto can’t handle it. So now I’m trying out Flock. It doesn’t look nearly as rich, but let’s see how this goes…

That extra burden is estimated to be more than $2,000 per car. Think what that means: Ford, for example, needs to cut $2,000 worth of features and quality out of its Taurus to compete with Toyota’s Avalon. Of course the Avalon feels like a better product — it has $2,000 more put into it. Considering this disadvantage, Detroit has done a remarkable job of designing and engineering its cars. But if this cost penalty persists, any bailout will only delay the inevitable.

UPDATE: Looks like Flock can only support photos that are uploaded through Flickr, MySpace, Facebook, Photobucket, Picasa, or Piczo, but not a self-hosted WordPress site. Bummer.

UPDATE 2: Looks like Flock does no better. Very annoying that these characters cause so many problems. Anyone know of a solution (short of having to publish the post, then view it, then manually fix any problems)?
