Blogger Template Error Message: The reference to entity "display" must end with the ';' delimiter.

Error Message The error message on Blogger looks as such: My Case In my case, that was from a link (stylesheet) href value provided by Google Fonts. By default, they put the &display=swap parameter to the URL . On regular HTML page, that should be fine. But on Blogger, it is unacceptable. Ah, let's use this font. Splendid. Please save the template, Blogger. (Hits save button.) Oi! Yes? The reference to entity "display" must end with the ';' delimiter. What does that mean? The reference to entity "display" must end with the ';' delimiter. (Removes the value after "display". Places ';' after "display". Hits save button.) Oi! Yes? The reference to entity "display" must end with the ';' delimiter. My Solution So the solution for this particular case is simply omit the &display=swap : That is all, I believe. Cheers. 🍺

It Was Nothing

Hi, there. 👋 Let's examine this phrase: it was nothing. One magnificent, centuries-old paradox that everyone uses and nobody questions. You've said it. I've said it. Your nan said it after knitting an impossibly intricate jumper for Christmas. We all say it, reflexively, automatically — like a social sneeze. Someone compliments us and out it comes , dressed smartly in the clothes of humility. But hold on just a moment. 🍺 Let's Dive Picture this: A bloke on an ordinary street pulls a dame clean out of the path of a speeding car. Adrenaline. Chaos. The sheer improbability of being exactly there at exactly that moment moving at exactly the right speed. The dame, breathless and alive, turns to him — Thank you so very much! I'd be dead if you weren't there! And he says: Oh, it was nothing. Nothing. He just casually dismissed a miracle as nothing. Which means, by his own accounting, one rung above nothing would be — what, exa...

Bullet Chess: Caro-Kann Defense: Exchange Variation

I played defence (black) here in a 1 minute bullet game on Lichess. My opponent resigned. Quite an intense game, that was. 🤔 Not much to tell, really. But if I brought this jittery-style to a classical game... 🤣 You can use your left and right arrows on your keyboard or use the mouse scroll to see the moves back and forth on the chessboard. But first, click the board.

Sneak Peak

Let's use large fonts: sneak peak. After 5 seconds or one hour and seven minutes, we should realise that there is something odd about it. Sneak = to go somewhere secretly, or to take someone or something somewhere secretly. Peak = the highest, strongest, or best point, value, or level of skill. 🤔 No, sounds correct. The Rhyming ea We tend to use "peak" rather than "pee" (obviously) — I mean "peek" (the intended one), because of the ea in both words. Let us examine: sn ea k p ea k . ⬆️ They look... matching! Indeed, but! There is peek = to look, especially for a short time or while trying to avoid being seen. No, that's not the word. Sneak peek ? 🤔 Voyeur? No. ... On second thought, where? Origin The term was conceived straight from the marketing pits of Frankenlandia, circa 1950s. Examples: Get a sneak peek at our brand new Ford V8! Sneak a peek at Betty's new casserole! Tonight at 8 — an ex...

Sparring with Stockfish Level 6: Sicilian Defence: Dragon Variation

Hi. 😃 I played offence here in a 3 minutes blitz game against Stockfish chess engine — on Lichess. For our information, the Level 6 isn't a tutorial bot — it's a calibrated menace. I did 3-4 games prior this. Level 6 tends to play human‑like at times, and this was that one of those times. It did 2 "under pressure" moves, at 24th and 31st banters. I took the 31st. When its horse swung to c5 . I had.... a battering ram in position. And the horse... (Horse. ♞) Let me just... vacate the e6 square. Yes, that should frighten the enemy's queen. Neigh me, neigh! You can use your left and right arrows on your keyboard or use the mouse scroll to see the moves back and forth on the chessboard. But first, click the board. Horse = knight. But because the piece doesn't resemble a knight to begin with, it's a horse. A well-behaved horse, I presume. Here. ⬇️ ♞ (Horse. ♞) Oh hello, good sir. Might I interest you in some fine hay? It has colourful ...
