Hi,

I generally like the site, but there's no "feedback" link etc. My problem is that the pages look like this:

Is this something I have to fix on my side? And how?

You can probably change it in your browser. If you are using Firefox, then go to Edit -> Content -> Advanced -> Character Encoding. Some sites still use the old Western.

He has his charset to UTF-8 so he must be encoding things wrong. In any case, if you go to the home page, you can find his email address: http://blog.xbsd.org/myself

What? No way to insert a link?

OK, it looks like this:

I assume this is correct?

If you mean inserting hyperlinks (including mailto) into your posts, the LINK, URL and EMAIL tags should work. In fact, hyperlinks should be detected and converted into clickies automagically [sic].

Firefox will set itself to whatever encoding he declares on his page and fall back to what you have set there if it can't figure it out. He has his set to UTF-8 so that's why I said the problem is on his end and not you. I get the same issue in Chrome.

There was an issue with the mysql MySQL tables encoding. I've converted all of them to utf8 UTF-8 and all seems good now. Please let me know if something isn't working properly.
