She stubbornly continued to want to ride him while she left me with the “old reliable appaloosa.” Well, one day he bucked her off one too many times, and she got firing mad and swore she was going to sell him. However, what she didn’t know was I was sneaking to ride him while she was at work with just a halter and a lead rope.Â
Thank you, Wayland

Hi,

is your database collation set to UTF8?

hey guys,
I looked at the page with erorrs and saw that it was using a encoding of western european(windows), looking at the none error page was correct encoding unicode utf8, so i added this line in the header to fix the issue "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">". I thought this line was already in the head before?
I added the RSSeo! Suite and think it started after that.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks, Wayland
