 * ericstaytrue,
 * Thank you for your suggestion – it worked!
 * There was indeed what appeared to be a single character in the URL line between
   the slash and the following character. By carefully arrowing over each occurrence(
   in the WP text editor mode) and back-spacing over the invisible character I was
   able to get rid of them.
 * While I’m very grateful for the help, I am wondering what I can do (or NOT do)
   to avoid having to use this remedy in the future. Is it a symptom of pasting 
   to and then copying from a text editor outside of WordPress that is introducing
   these weird characters? Perhaps a discrepancy between the character sets of the
   text editor and WordPress? I guess I’ll have to experiment…
 * Thanks again,
 * Jonathan

 * Thanks for replying. I took out the ‘target=”_blank”‘ but it made no difference.
