In reply to: What’s the *correct* database collation & encoding supposed to be?I’m not sure there is “a correct” encoding, but I would recommend utf8_unicode_ci. Your database was probably set to latin1 when it was created. You can change by selecting your db in phpMyAdmin, click on “Operations” at the top and change the collation. You will need to make sure your db collation matches what’s in your wp-config.php file. It’s best to get this all matching at the start…trying to change things in an established blog can get messy.
Also, keep an eye on plugins that create tables in the db…quite often they will create latin1 tables.

In reply to: kubrickbg-ltr.jpgYes…from what I can gather (just using logic — no other insight here) that was used when Kubrick had a gray background behind the sidebar. I talk about it a little in the following tutorials.

In reply to: 2.8 is evilI’m not yet convinced that WP is deleting other source code, but if it is, then I don’t think it matters for future upgrades whether you have “lots of plugins” or just one plugin…if you have “the” plugin, or one of the plugins that causes this problem, then you’ve got a big problem.
