You haven't given enough information to provide a complete answer (a link to one of these blogs would be helpful), but one common problem is that you aren't serving the pages produced as utf-8 (the web default is iso-8859-1). See the following for instructions: http://www.w3.org/International/O-HTTP-charset An alternate approach is to add the following near to the top of the section in your template: > Regards from Canary Islands > > Manuel Padr?n Mart?nez - Sam Ruby From manolopm at gmail.com Wed Aug 5 20:44:13 2009 From: manolopm at gmail.com (Manolo Padron Martinez) Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2009 11:44:13 +0100 Subject: Problem with codification on Venus In-Reply-To: <4A7960C8.7020503@intertwingly.net> References: <55fad2460908050301n6828bfceh59c3781118219cf@mail.gmail.com> <4A7960C8.7020503@intertwingly.net> Message-ID: <55fad2460908050344i242bdc76s904a46fdfdde198d@mail.gmail.com> Hi: > You haven't given enough information to provide a complete answer (a link to > one of these blogs would be helpful), but one common problem is that you > aren't serving the pages produced as utf-8 (the web default is iso-8859-1). > ?See the following for instructions: Thanks Sam.

Question 1: Ampersand Parsing ----------------------------- When I use a source feed like this: http://feeds.feedburner.com/AkhbarBiladImaniyah All the post title links have ampersands in them, but after Venus is done parsing, it changes the & into & and this breaks the links. For example, this: http://www.zeninfosys.net/zeninfosys/archive_akhbar_details.php?AkhbarType=3&AkhbarID=1608&AkhbarMonth=8&AkhbarYear=1430 becomes this: http://www.zeninfosys.net/zeninfosys/archive_akhbar_details.php?AkhbarType=3&AkhbarID=1607&AkhbarMonth=8&AkhbarYear=1430 And this problem exists in the generated HTML page and the generated Atom file as well. You can see the output on: http://planetbohra.org/ -and- http://planetbohra.org/atom.xml How can I avoid this problem? Question 2: Planet Venus versions --------------------------------- As Venus does not have any official versions, it's a bit difficult for non-programmers like me to discern what has changed since the version of Venus I am using (or even if anything relevant as changed at all). It would be nice if there were six-monthly versioned releases with a changelog of what happened between the releases so that we know if an upgrade is required. At the moment I'm running code from April 2008 and I have no idea if I should upgrade or not, and what files need to be replaced. Some more information on this aspect of Venus would be very much welcome. Thanks in advance for your help.

This makes the face settings possible without any reference to faces in the code. It's cool. For some reason, we don't do that with planet-level settings.
