?>

everything is OK, but when i was saving, the function get_blogspot_url($_POST[$dt])
didn’t work because $_POST[$dt].

When i replace get_blogspot_url($_POST[$dt]) with,

get_blogspot_url('<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sfO5YNlgW0Y/UFCaPberRcI/AAAAAAAAANM/1ccm6QRHxLM/s1600/0000.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sfO5YNlgW0Y/UFCaPberRcI/AAAAAAAAANM/1ccm6QRHxLM/s320/0000.png" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a1bQNURFQU0/UFCaRm88fwI/AAAAAAAAANU/uDnHUsvNvS8/s1600/img000005.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a1bQNURFQU0/UFCaRm88fwI/AAAAAAAAANU/uDnHUsvNvS8/s320/img000005.png" width="199" /></a></div>
<br />')

it works, so i think $_POST[$dt] have problem, can you help me?
