My wife’s Pet Blog readers is increasing gradually after 1 month blogging. The highest RSS subscribers hit 20 readers on yesterday. I think this is quite a good progress for a one month plus blog.

Since she know nothing about wordpress and php coding, I am the one who maintain the blog. If you have subscribed to her RSS feed at Dogtist.com, I am sure you have not get the correct feed since 3 weeks ago.

Feed Error with Chinese Character

I have noted the feed error but no time to look into it until today. The problem is all Chinese character turn to question mark “?”. No matter feed client or email feed, all face the same problem.

At first, I thought it was due to the UTF-8 file format problem in one of the plugin. I have changed some characters in the plugin to Chinese word. But somehow, it does not work even I have change it back.

Secondly, I suspect it was due to some new plugin problem. I have disable some plugin and try and error. But result still the same. Finally, I use FeedValidator.org to verify the feed. It shows some “high bit character” error in the post content. The so call “high bit character” is combination of Chinese character and ASCII symbols. I changed all those symbols to UTF-8 characters.

Since I have updated my wordpress theme, I never shown up my rss feed status. I want to experiment whether my rss will increase faster without shown out my rss status. But as a result within these 2 weeks, my rss readers has been increase significantly up to almost 50% of the previous result.

But that is still not a good time for me to reveal my rss subscribers status. I will word hard on my experiment to get more readers first before let all know the result
