What in the world are those strange symbols in my blog?

I have noticed that strange symbols appear in my blog when I compose my posts in a word processor and paste it in. That is so annoying. I even tried typing my post in regular text and still these symbols are appearing.

I had taken to writing a post and pasting it after I lost a few of my posts when I touched some key by mistake. My article was never to be found again. So now I am going to save this draft.

I did a google search and found other people having the same problems. There were suggestions but none of them aided me in solving the problem.

In the meantime, I was reading an article about good copyrighting in a newsletter called THE GARY HALBERT LETTER and he said something about writing with passion and clarity.

So I am going to try just writing from my brain to the blog, saving drafts as I go, and I’m not going to worry over trying to sound politically correct or amazingly intelligent, I’m just going to write. I doubt if anyone reads this anyway. I don’t see much traffic here anyway in my google analytics.

I have learned some things lately that maybe you can benefit by. That is, that people don’t care about your website or your blog or your life except where it might benefit them. People generally don’t want to hear what you have to say and most people don’t really listen. Their interest is primarily their own stuff, their own life and what you can do for them. If you want to be interesting the best thing to do is to be interested in them. If you want to know what people are really interested in, listen to them.

Anyway I apologize for the strange symbols in my posts if your browser is seeing them. I am typing directly into my blog right now so I don’t think I will have that problem with this post.

If anyone knows what causes them and how to avoid them please share.
