Permalinks, in fact URLs in general, should not have spaces in them. As you can see since the default permalink entry is cueing you to this fact. It uses dashes between words. Yet in your title one doesn’t want dashes! That’s why you need two distinct names: one name for viewers, one name that is web-server-friendly.

Permalink is again part of the URL, no spaces etc. blog title is for human beings to read.

What theme are you using?
I’m experimenting with different ones at the moment to see if I can get the themeflood css (see above) to work.
Good point, but the blog’s not finished. There isn’t any way to automatically import articles from LinkedIn, 10 down, 71 to go…
The way you copied your CSS above is “NOT” Plan text. You have curly quotes that are invalid.
I copied and fixed it and tested with a FloodTheme and it works fine:
#blog-categories:before {
content: 'Blog Categories';
font-size:120%;
display: block;
}
#blog-archives:before {
content: 'Blog Archive';
display: block;
font-size: 120%;
}
.blog-tag-cloud::before {
content: 'Tag Cloud';
display: block;
font-size: 120%;
}
#blog-rss-feeds:before {
content: 'RSS Links';
display: block;
font-size: 120%;
}
This should work fine.
When every you copy any paste into RapidWeaver Paste as plain text.
HTML and CSS don’t like things like curly quotes or other formatting stuff. It’s always best practice to copy text and paste as plain text. It can be found under the edit menu or shortcut opt+cmd+V.

This is good advice. I copied the CSS from their website, they used double quotes instead of single degree marks. But after making the change, the theme still doesn’t play nice with RW’s built-in blog.58%20AM|690x335 . This reminds me of having to dig through LaTeX package internals to find out why one package is conflicting with another. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to do that with RW and its themes.
Double quotes are fine in CSS curly quotes are not. Not knowing what theme you’re using, how you copied the post text in makes it difficult to help.
A URL to even a single test page would have solved your problems by now. I know you think you’re not done so you don’t want to publish yet. But if it’s how you’re creating the content that’s causing the issue you’ll have to recreate each post.
Since I have no clue even what theme you used, it would be impossible to get help. I tested the code I posted above on several themes and it works fine.
I went to the themeflood link you posted above and checked and he’s not using curly quotes, so I suspect it was how you’re coping and pasting both the code and the content that’s causing the issues.

I settled on the Tidybox theme (from Multithemes), but I need to increase the font size on the home page and do something so that the articles can be more easily referenced. Currently, there’s no way to do that. I’m going to upgrade to RW8 to see if the improvements in the included blog help in any way. Here’s the URL:
