The solution was (eventually) fairly simple – isn’t it always.

Look for & in the code.

Change every instance of & to & a m p ;
This should work in WordPress and most other blog applications as well.

In the case of Blogger / Blogspot blogs this was used successfully in the theme file HTML. This was also reported to work in a Blogger post.

For Adgator users I suggest using the WordPress Code for your blogs. You will find a link to this code on the bottom of your “Get Ad Codes”-page.

*whatever can of course be anything in your case.
