To celebrate the 100th episode of Maintenance Monday we're giving away a $100 (Canadian eh!) Amazon Gift Card. Details on how to enter are in the video. I used to think that the " " code that seemed to randomly appear in Joomla articles and content was just a pain in the butt that had to be manually removed (OK, now I hear it!) in code view.

However, thanks to Gary Barclay leaving a comment on MM #099, I now understand its purpose. " " is a code used for making a Non Breaking Space. So if you ever want to force two words to stay together instead of being broken apart at the end of a line of text, " " is your friend!

Showing examples of how and when to insert " " in your Joomla pages and articles is what today's Maintenance Monday live stream is all about. SUBSCRIBE TODAY! ► https://goo.gl/N6y5bH
