I just wanted to pass on something I just learned.

If you are starting to get a bunch of funny characters appearing in your self-hosted wordpress blog like  (which was all over my blog). The best way to remove it is to comment out the following lines in your wp-config.php file. You can do it like so:

// define(’DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8′);
// define(’DB_COLLATE’, ”);

Just a FYI. Seemed to work for me.

That has to be one of the hardest things about being an internet marketeer. You have to stay at it. Make regular posts and making contributions to the internet community (not just on your own blog).

So seriously where I have been?

Well, my last post says it pretty well. I’ve been spending the last couple months moving all my sites and blogs from Successful Hosting to Hostgator. So far I have been very pleased. It took a while and a lot of effort, but I think long term the payoffs will be well worth it. With all the great competition in hosting, there is really no reason, not to have a good host provider.

The other thing that has been taking up a lot of my time has been upgrading my mom’s blog to Wordpress 2.5. I really really regret having done that. I have had lots of issues with uploading images and media. I know, I know there are fixes out there, but none of them seem to work. I think I am going to have to delete the folders and start from scratch (I’ll keep the content just re-upload the wordpress files).

I have also been working on a few of my own blogs (Askacfi.com) and trying to get them to the point where they actually might make me some money. So far so good…the response has been pretty well on the redesign and people like the new format of the site.

Don’t worry though, I still have lots of great stories about how I have lost money and I’ll be sharing those reguarly with you soon.

Lesson: Make regular posts!
