If you take a look at my Sandbox blog at my stream down on the right column, you'll see that the blip.fm stream is generating odd characters.
If you look at my blip.fm feed, it looks like that should be a dash instead of, well, whatever that is.
I'm guessing that's an encoding problem, but I don't know what to do about it. Any ideas?

Hi,
my plugin and the Blip.fm feed seem to be still fine. Though the encoding of your website should be UTF-8. Actually it is iso-8859-1. If you change the encoding with your browser to UTF-8 you will see, that the magic chars change into a dash.
PS Sorry for my unresponsive blog. I am doing a redesign and it will go live in a few weeks.Thank you for using my plugin.
Yes, I figured that the plug in was working fine. However, I seem to recall that at some point over the last 5 years (My blog dates back to the MT 2.661 days), the default encoding changed. Was that at MT 3.2?
I don't remember, but I know that lots; of characters on my blog did just what I'm seeing in my blip.fm feed. My concern is that by changing my blog's encoding, the blip.fm stream will be fine, but my blog will be a mess. Setting the encoding in the mt-config file fixed it.
How can I change my encoding and not make a mess?
