   I cannot seem to get Wordpress to recognize the e accent in my blog title. It says Aret rather than Arete.

   Please help? URL is

   I see the accented é in your blog's title (that is, the blog name appearing in the <title> element). However, your blog's title at the top of the page is not text, but rather a bit of Macromedia Flash overtaking parts of the theme's HTML through some Javascript.

   In other words, it's not WordPress but the theme's Flash component that's having a problem with non-ASCII characters.

   Did you try using é for the Flash part? I'm not a Flash person, but I think that would do the trick.

   What do I need to do make it take the Wordpress text rather than any script?

   Already tried the HTML (&eacute) & Latin ISO methods.... the browser title bar will show the accent but not the title on the web page.

   Kaf explained it to you: remove that ".sIFR" flash gizmo and your title will be fine.

   This is in the stylesheet of your theme:
   Description: 2 column simple, bright and clean, uses sIFR for the titles and is Widgets ready

   Pick another theme or edit the theme to remove that sIFR... whatever it is.

   Just edit the theme's footer template (footer.php), removing the section starting with:

   <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">

   and ending:

   </script>

   Or you can remove just the lines you don't want to use (each line handles a different CSS classification)

   Now, exactly why a theme would use javascript to interpret numerous text elements through a Flash applet escapes me...
