 * I’m having a weird problem. I’m trying to create a page for one of my fan fiction
   stories (I’ve successfully created pages for all my other stories), and after
   much examination and testing, I thought the problem was with the word “around”
   in my story, but taking every instance out (to see if that would let it create
   the page) didn’t work. When something (whatever “something” is) keeps the page
   from creating or editing (I seem to be able to create a page with part of the
   text, HTML and code, but not all of it), it causes the page to reroute to the
   main (home) page, instead of taking me to my list of pages in the admin, when
   I click the “Create New Page” or “Edit Page” button. My HTML and PHP all check
   out, as far as I can tell. This is making no sense to me.
 * Edit: I’m not definite, but I think it might be caused by the word “curl” in 
   my story. I just edited that word out, and the rest of the page will print fine.
   Is there a problem with the word curl? Is the eval() checkbox with RunPHP the
   problem; is it parsing “curl” as code? Just a guess.
 * Edit Again: Yep, it was the word “curl.” If someone can tell me a workaround 
   for this, that would be great. In the meantime, I changed the word and its neighbor
   and now it works fine. Maybe this will help someone else.

 * Try replacing ‘curl’ with:
 * curl
 * That’s the numeric character reference for ‘c’. There’s several threads on the“
   curl” problem:
