The mystery of the random characters

So I’ve downloaded this theme for this site and I have to say that after a bit of tweaking, I quite like it. But I’ve just noticed all these weird characters appearing in odd bits of the site. I’ve looked through the code but I can’t for the life of me tell where they are coming from. This is truly bizarre. It’s going to be driving me crazy for weeks now. In case someone is actually reading this, feel free to let me know how to fix it, if you’ve come across it before.

Online dating more popular in UK than US?

A recent report has shown that 20% of British Internet users used dating sites in December last year compared to only 13% in America . The French, however, beat everyone, with 22% of their Internet users logging on for love.
December is traditionally a busy month on the sites, because the holiday season can make people feel pretty lonely. I wonder whether the figures would have been significantly different if the research had been done in a different month. Either way, if you account for the fact that not all Internet users are single, it emerges that online dating has now become pretty much standard in the UK. About time, too.

I chose this image for this post because I want to illustrate something. I will get to that shortly. So welcome to my dating blog. I hope you will find it useful. As you may already know, my name is Shimrit and I work in the online dating industry. I’ve recently written the book you can see on the right hand side. It will be out in the shops in May, which should give you plenty of time to decide whether you like my writing style (it’s available on Amazon for pre order, in case you’re one of those mythical “pay now, buy later” people!)
So this blog is going to be all about online dating and dating in general and my (not so) humble opinion of both.
But before I start talking about dating, I’d like to open this blog by talking a little bit about being single.
