Formatting glitches on posts imported from Blogger

Add topic to favorites
All the posts imported from Blogger have “>” added to the title and first line of the post. See any of the posts here: http://timesflowstemmed.com/2009/05/. I have been trying to clean these manually but it is very dull. Is there any way to automate the removal of this formatting?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Here at wordpress.com we cannot post blogger initiated advertising on our blogs. Did you perchance run advertising on your Blogger blog? I’m thinking that the > character could be a leftover from our software stripping out some kind of code.

No, I didn’t run advertising on the Blogger blog. Any easy way to get rid if the > character?

Unfortunately, not really. You could go to your Dashboard->Posts page and quickedit each of the titles (float your cursor just below the title of a post and options should appear). But there’s no way to do all of them easily at once.

I personally wouldn’t bother, as they’re invisible to search engines anyway.

Why are the invisible to search engines? They continue to get traffic.

No, I mean the little pointed brackets are invisible to search engines.
