New Blogger to WordPress Import Plugin

At long last, there is a working plugin to import your blog’s content from New Blogger (formerly known as Blogger Beta) to WordPress. Many thanks to Ady for creating it.

If for some reason this plugin will not work for you, we are still available to do Blogger-to-WordPress imports. Contact us for a quote.

Accented Characters in WP2.1 and MySQL 4.1

MySQL 4.1 has a bug that prevents WordPress 2.1 from displaying accented characters correctly. Instead, they appear as ? marks.

To fix this, open /wp-includes/wp-db.php
and look for this line:
$this->dbh = @mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpassword);
(it’s around line 52).

Immediately after that line, add:
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");

Save and re-upload the file, and you should see accented characters as usual.

If you are a WebbleYou customer and require accented character support, please contact us and we will be happy to make the necessary changes. No alterations to the database are necessary.
