I tried to use BlogJet or w.bloggar to create and edit posts. At the moment i think i like better BlogJet because lets me edit old posts.

But i have problems with titles and texts with accents (spanish language). I looked for some information and looks like the error is because the encoding. It recomends UTF. How to set it in Serendipity?

And talking about this kind of software, can anyone give his opinion about BlogJet, w.bloggar and any other similar soft?

Thanks in advance

I cannot give you that much information on those services as I don't use it. Just be sure to read http://blog.s9y.org/archives/21-XML-RPC-Services.html and use the latest serendipity_xmlrpc.php file.

About encoding, you can edit your serendipity language file and change the "LANG_CHARSET" to any encoding you like (like "UTF-8"). Be aware that you may need to update all your articles then by doing this:

1. Create a SQL dump of all your serendipity tables.
2. Use an editor to open that SQL dump. Save the file in UTF-8 format.
3. Drop all your serendipity tables.
4. Reiimport your SQL dump. Now all your old entries also contain UTF-8 code and will be properly displayed.
