Do you know what an illegal character is?
! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + = – } ] { [ | \ ? / > <
Those are illegal characters. They can royally screw up your life.
So… when you’re making a new file, renaming a file, thinking about the naming of a file, think those characters right out of your pretty little head.
Don’t use them. They make things break.
Like uploader tools. Stuff like that. So, if you’re SURE you will never ever ever put that file (document, PDF, image, etc.) on the web, go ahead and illegal character away.
If you might want to someday show it to the world: Just Say No.
