   Hi all,

   I found this sweet guide for setting up social bookmarking links at the base of your post using the following example of code:

   <a href=”http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=<?php the_permalink() ?>”>DIgg it</a>

   However for some reason it doesn't accept this as an outside link, and it produced something like this:

   http://MY-DOMAIN.com/%EF%BF%BDhttp://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http://MY-DOMAIN.com/?p=11%EF%BF%BD

   Does anyone know why this might be happening? I really hope to sort it soon before I relaunch my site.

   Thanks!!!

   Make sure that your quotes are normal quotes and not smart quotes. Like this:

   <a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=<?php the_permalink() ?>">Digg it</a>
