 * Hi,
 * Does having a double hypen in the web address mess with the WP’s formatting?
 * Here’s what I have been trying to figure out. I set up a WP blog at an address
   with a double hypen (version 1.5.1.3) When I hit the View Site link, the index.
   php was totally messed up. White page with no tables or formatting, just the 
   content in a long column aligned to the left.
 * So I deleted that and the SQL db. Downloaded the newest version of WP (1.5.2)
   and again the same issue. So I deleted that. Deleted the site on my server too.
   Re-created, re-uploaded, same issue ( and I even used different db names and 
   usernames for the SQL db.
 * Then I figured I would test the WP 1.5.2 on another site on the same server to
   make sure that my server wasn’t having serious issues, and yeah it worked! So
   I got really excited and tried deleting and re-creating and re-uploading on the
   double hyphen site and well shucks. 🙁

 * WordPress converts the double hyphen into an en-dash, so it apparently can’t 
   find the stylesheet then…

 * Is there a way around this issue? And if yes, what do I need to do to get WP 
   to work with my double hyphen address?
 * Thank you.
