Special caracters appearing in my blog

Caracters [ à © ª è ] etc...
These caracters may also appear in your column content or in google results for your blog.

Don't panic ! This is just because of the new caracter encoding for blogSpirit. This lets any user writting in any language having a blog with special caracters from his language. (blogSpirit launched a chinese version)

This problem has been resolved for all blogs BUT if you have modified your HTML templates, the new encoding caracter may be absent on your blog.

So the best idea should be restoring all your templates (blogSpirit recommands this way) :
- get the differences by comparing your templates and blogSpirit default templates
- restore
- copy the differences

If you really don't want to update your templates, here is how to debug your blog using Advanced Configuration of Design (not recommanded by blogSpirit) :

Get the following code in <head> </head> tags :

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

And replace it by this code :

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

When using SPANISH as the blog language the RSS feeds won´t be validated if containing accented characters.
Any help ?

Thanks

Marcano -> Does this happen on your blog ? If so, please valid any form (like 1st one) of the "Control Panel" page, this should reset some server cache. Anyway, if you still have the problem please post the URL of the blog so we can have a look.
