   My WP is changing the formatting of characters in my blogs.

   For instance; how-to-create-an-ie-only-stylesheet

   When I go to edit the blog; it properly shows;

   <!--[if IE]>
   <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="all-ie-only.css" />
   <![endif]-->

   but displays it differently, effectively changing the code to this;

   <!–[if IE]>
   <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”all-ie-only.css” />
   <![endif]–>

   That's a huge difference to change from; "<!--" to this; "<!–"

   I notice other format changes here and there. why is it doing this? I'm using UTF-8

   All the WordPress sites I've seen that need to display Code of one kind or another use a plug-in to display it properly. Judging by that, and my own limited experience displaying code, tells me that you should be looking for an appropriate plug-in and not relying on "native WordPress".

   After I wrote the above, I found the official documentation on the subject: http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_Code_in_Your_Posts

   I'm not sure how old the article is, so beware its recommendation of plug-ins, and make sure they still work with the current version of WordPress.
