With this kind of songs being so popular recently, I think we are in for a bouncy ride in 2012
Definitely something you must see. Based on our violent history and repeating wars/violence, I’m really wondering what will happen in 2012 but let’s let that for some other time
My blog is veteran among Slovenian blogs (equals OLD) and when I recently updated WordPress/MySQL database to UTF-8 character set, which is used in “newer” versions (2.2+) of WordPress (old ones used character set latin1_swedish_ci for example), I lost some of the slovenian special characters in my blog posts (like č – ch,š – sh, ž..).
If you’re experiencing similar problems, official site recommends this guide which is a pain in the ass to do, if you’re not willing to spend a lot of time and/or you’re not very experienced with MySQL/phpMyAdmin. Simpler (& working) plan is to use this plugin – UTF-8 Database Converter, which did the trick in a minute in my case.
Before you do anything, backup the database.
