I don’t know which encoding DW saves files in, but you should be really careful with proprietary software. Those do often use weird encodings. e.g. never even think of saving a file using Word and believe the encoding will be preserved. (No, I’m not anti-MS. It’s just the way it is)

I personnally use Notepad++. Up until now, I’ve never had an encoding problem with it. It seems to keep the original encoding.

Notepad is terrible with encodings. A lot of config, txt whatever files I open using Notepad look terrible. No line breaks, paragraphs. Opening them using Notepad++ they look as they should.

Ok, this is not an answer to your question, but it is something your might consider.

To change your WordPress installation language, follow these steps (it’s pretty easy)

Does this installation allow us to change the default aspect to customize our web with sheets and images from websuitex5 or photoshop?.

Do you mean modifiying the look of your site? If so, the answer is yes. Either just use a different theme, modifiy an existing theme (be careful under which license the theme is released) or create your own theme from scratch.

This should be what you want:

If you know the Database server name and a user/password of a MySQL user who has Database creation permission, you can create a php script which connects to the database and creates a database for wordpress. Otherwise you might want to just contact your webhosting company.

Though I find it weird that you don’t have access to CPanel or any other Administration panel.

@samboll: really? Wamp worked like a charm for me. Can you maybe elaborate because I wanted to write a post about setting up and using a development server and was planning to use WAMP. But if there are problems with it, I might use XAMPP.

Can you please give the message you are seeing? We can’t access your local machine from here to see it.

I haven’t used AddThis, but a thought that comes to mind is: Is it supposed to show up on pages? Maybe AddThis does only support posts? Maybe you should ask in the AddThis forums.

Is commenting enabled in your wordpress dashboard? Check out Settings->Discussion->’Allow people to post comments on new articles’ and other comment related settings on that page.
If that doesn’t help, maybe there is some theme specifie option which prevents you from displaying comments. Try to switch back to the default theme for a second and see of comments show up there. If yes, the issue is probably related to your theme.

You’re welcome

Chances are you have to edit the theme files (index.php, page.php, single.php etc…) to enable comments. Either they are not implemented at all, or the related code is commented.
What theme is it you’re using?

Have you checked if there are some theme specific settings to enable/disable comments? For example, the theme ‘thematic’ does not display comments for pages even though they are enabled under Settings–>Discussion Settings

Another theme you can build on is Thematic. It is actually more of a theme framework rather than a theme. It is very flexible in terms of building a child theme based of of it.

Yeah, setting permission to 777 is a very bad idea. It gives absolutely anyone read-write-execute permissions.
You should give folders the permissions 755 and files 644.

Maybe the Domain policies should be better promoted as I can find a lot of TLD containing the word wordpress. Though that will not change the fact that I’ll try to stick to them and switch ASAP.
