Did you know that if you turn on the server side includes in Mac WebStar to process regular .html documents, and if you happen to be serving up Blogger generated content, the pages break. Oh yeah, they break big time. I’m not sure what the heck WebStar’s SSI plug-in is nabbing in the Blogger generated pages, unless it’s those rascally invisible characters that I have run across before. Blogger appears to be placing hex $00 characters directly after the <!– created by Blogger –> comments and just before the <BlogDateHeader> content. Here are a couple of screen captures of the characters as they appear in my BBEdit window. 
The only other markup in the HTML that might be considered suspect are standard comment tags. But I’m running the same version of WebStar, with the same SSI config, parsing pages that contain comments on another site without any problems. I’ve posted the invisible character issue over at Blogger Discuss in case anyone has an idea what may be the problem.
