You have a special characters in your url for your css not a good idea. You don’t need to use entities for dashes.
Now:
http://www.all–insurance.com/1wp/wp-content/themes/blueberry-boat/style.css
Change to:
http://www.all–insurance.com/1wp/wp-content/themes/blueberry-boat/style.css
Your site should look normal after that fix.
I appreciate the reply but can’t follow you. I have uploaded the CSS in both ASCII and Bianary to the directory so I don’t understand how the special characters could be there. Can you tell me where you see the special characters please? Thanks much.
You url is using an entity code &8211; to make the — dash characters that’s why your site doesn’t show up correctly it can’t find your style sheet. Replace &8221; with —
I left out the pound sign on purpose get rid of that too I just didn’t feel like coding it to show up.
Most likely this error is in your control panel. Under options : general check your 2 URI addresses and make sure they have — in the name
Does that mean I can’t use any WP style sheets with a URL that has a – in it? I’m lost as to why the URL is using an entity code in the first place. I sure never put it there – Sorry but very confused.
No it mean you have to use the actually dashes — as the characters in the URL. IM me at (i need to ask you some questions):

I’m encountering a similar problem (my URI is http://c–m.com). Was this ever solved?
Of course I type in the dashes when I try to change the settings in the General > Options form (and they appear as dashes in the updated form when I submit the data), but they don’t appear as dashes in the source of the generated HTML when I visit the blog itself. I tried editing the SQL database to see if it was a problem with saving it to the database, but it isn’t; it’s gotta be a problem with the display of the page after the information has been retrieved from the database.
I must be missing something.
Well, I figured out a pretty ugly way to fix it, so I guess it’s resolved:
I commented out line 14 of wp-includes/functions-formatting.php so that ‘–‘ was no longer replaced by the other value. Unfortunately, I think that means it won’t replace it when I post something with ‘–‘ in it. I suppose if I wanted to, I could replace ‘–‘ with some other character combination so that I could still have use of that dash character, but it’s no biggie.
