Posted: Thu Feb 17, 2005 2:21 pm Post subject: Question marks replace other punctuation in excerpts? |
|
|
The excerpts of articles I post on my website appear with question-marks (in place of some of the quotation marks and other punctuation that should be there) and other "errors" that aren't apparent on the full article or on the "edit article" page. Also, when I post an article, often the text following a single italicized word is all italicized. If you look at my website you'll see what I mean. How do I address these issues?
Thank you! _________________ All my best,

Short answer: That was our fault. I fixed it for you. And I also removed some text that was in your HTML HEAD area, take a look at this page for a little background:
http://demo.blogharbor.com/blog/_archives/2005/2/15/325683.html
Long answer for those who like technical stuff: Newly created blogs are created with this code:
Code: | <META HTTP-EQUIV="content-type" CONTENT ="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> |
added to the HEAD of the HTML, which will help you when creating content using international character sets, especially when using blogging clients such as ecto or Blogjet. We are not, however, forcing the admin control panel to use UTF-8 encoding as some bloggers who have been blogging using international character sets will have problems if we do.
If you have any problems like the one described above, let us know or try changing the content in the HEAD of your HTML as explained here to this:
Code: | <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> |
And that should clear up the problem. And in the meantime we will be working on ways to better handle detecting your preferences when it comes to international character sets. |
