hi everyone, i need help with this problem:
i've just updated my introduction (or rather i just WANTED to update my introduction), but anytime i click on the preview or update button, it only says,
"A name was started with an invalid character", and that really gets on my nerves!
maybe i'm just too stupid for it, but please help me!!!

Have you checked all your tags are opened and closed properly?
The error message is probably referring to this bit here:
i'm interested in Gene Roddenberry's ANDROMEDA, tennis and DNA.
If you want ANDROMEDA in bold and italic you should have
i'm interested in Gene Roddenberry's ANDROMEDA, tennis and DNA.
hope this is some help, if not, pop back again I'll try again

Hmmmm... let's see...
take away the space in your tag
exchange the <&> with & - no tag required
add a space after Roddenberry's
That should do it!
