Does it matter if I have a "&" right after "?" in my url?
Does it matter if I have a "&" right after "?" in my url? For example: http://www.blah.com/blah.php?&key=23
Would any browser get stumped by that? Or, will every browser treat it as: http://www.blah.com/blah.php?key=23
Thanks.

It doesn't matter at all. You can even add as many & as you want, it won't affect the meaning of the URL as the server will remove unused ones and treats ? semantically as a &.
