Finally, I've taken the hassle to upgrade the software that runs this blog. It went smoothly (at least it didn't nuke any of my posts), except for a few issues which I document here (mostly for my own future reference): 1. *archive excerpts*. For some odd reason, the default theme (_Kubrick_) does not show the full text of the post in archive view, which is a bit of an ass. Mended thusly: At line 62 of `archive.php`, replace `the_excerpt()` with `the_content()`: > 2. *textile and utf8 madness*. Like [I've mentioned before,](http://www.orakel.ntnu.no/~havardda/blogg/posts/2004-11-28/textile-bug-swallows-non-ascii-characters/) the textile plugin destroys my Norwegian characters. Easily fixed, but I want to move away from Textile anyway. Maybe there exists some ReStructuredText plugin for WP? ### UPDATE 2005-05-18: I briefly tried [ReStructuredText plugin for WP][rest], but since this is php land and not python (sigh) it did not fly very well. Too much of a hassle downloading and installing and crossing the python-php barrier. But it prompted me to take a fresh look at [markdown][]. And wow, do I feel silly for not going for it straight away! It's sooo easy! [rest]: http://goldenspud.com/rest-wordpress/ [markdown]: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax
