WordPress and Scandinavian characters

5th June 2005, 12:42 am

I had some problems producing proper Swedish characters in WordPress for a little while. This only happened when using Mozex and Vim to edit posts.

The solution was quite simple :) I use UTF-8 encoding throughout my entire Ubuntu GNU/Linux system, every application defaults to it. Except Firefox, it seems. Making sure that the Character Encoding was set to UTF-8 solved it.

Using Vim to put text into text areas in Firefox (Mozilla)

4th June 2005, 06:06 pm

I simply can’t stand editing text in the text areas using the editor in Firefox (Mozilla). Apparently there is still no edit externally command in Mozilla yet. Luckily there’s Mozex, but don’t try installing that version, use this instead (the original won’t install anymore). The original site is still useful though, since it holds a link to the arguments the different commands take.
