A smart move

I’ve convinced myself to start using John Gruber‘s MT plugin, SmartyPants.

SmartyPants is a free web publishing plug-in for Movable Type, Blosxom, and BBEdit that easily translates plain ASCII punctuation characters into smart typographic punctuation HTML entities.

You can never be too anal-retentive.

While on the topic of HTML entities, be sure to check out the wonderful chart(s) put together by Tony Stephens.
