These are almost always quotation marks, apostrophes or dashes. When you see text that contains those black diamonds, it means I haven't gotten around to repairing the problem, yet. Lastly, all of our early work URL suffixes were "htm." When the computer gods decided to change those to "html," problems arose, but changing the suffix from one to the other may make the page you want available. Final Thought: If you think this magazine is a graphic mess, you should see my garage. (LL) All original text and graphics © 2011 Oregon Magazine |
