   TwitPress is excellent and does exactly what it's supposed to do, no fuss.

   However, I notice that if you have a post with an '&' in the post title, TwitPress stops when it hits the '&' symbol and doesn't output the complete title nor the tiny url.

   For example, I publish a podcast called The Hobson & Holtz Report. When I publish a post, TwitPress tweets that as just 'New blog post: The Hobson' like this -

   Does anyone know how I can fix that? Thanks.

   Yes, in function twitpress_get_message( $postID )

   at line 248

   replace:
   $proto = str_replace( "[title]", $post->post_title, $proto );
   with
   $proto = str_replace( "[title]", urlencode($post->post_title), $proto );

   We had this bug using Twitpress from our Journalism News blogs http://blogs.journalism.co.uk/editors/
   to our twitter page http://twitter.com/journalismnews

   but it now works fine for us.

   Cheers!
