Problem solved!

It is like when one can’t quite tell exactly which of three things had made one sick or better, so it could just be I had upgraded my version of Thesis that had solved it, but likely, I had a UTF-8 Converter plug-in active, but one that was there to do the exact reverse, i.e. change back any imaginable alien coding to UTF-8 English, so that cancelled out the Chinese. I feel a bit silly, cuz I wish I could tell you in the end I had to hire an expert whom finally solved some complicated technical issue, so it’s better I just tell my brain it was the upgrade, plus of course Santa had put the plug-in there :o)

Thank you both for helping out here and staying with this. I wish you happy holidays.

Be well,

Vreselijk! Sorry, I don’t know how to help you with this. I think the problem is in the settings of your website… I also cannot write in Chinese in my Hanlin Academy website (the older one that is in Bulgarian) and cannot deal with it.
As Danny suggested, wordpress.com is excellent for writing a blog. I am on blogspot.com and often use Chinese terms in my articles. Both wordpress.com and blogspot.com give high results in google search.

Greetings,

Here is what you can do.

Try to set up an account and blog directly on WordPress.com, it is free.

Then make a post and add Chinese characters in it.
Then preview or post it.
I guess the Chinese will be there.

If that’s the case then try to figure what is the difference in settings.

Danny

Thanks for minding this and for signalling Annie.

Yes, I am on own server and I have fully upgraded. If I am preparing a new post, Chinese
characters appear in my screen just fine, for as long as I won’t do ‘preview’ or ‘publish’, then everything dissapears.

To me, the whole idea of doing a blog, is to have yet another opportunity to share teachings and doing series, but for which I had then projected to be using Chinese characters. I like using the Chinese characters to those technical terms as it would allow readers to follow up on them on their www search for further learning and verification and be autonomous at the art. So, it seems for the time being we gotta do without that.

I appreciate your efforts and I wish you and all here happy holidays.

Be well,

I had asked Annie to look at your problem with the Chinese fonts.

Not exactly clear what is the problem.
Chinese text is appearing normally in your comment.
Do you mean you tried and cannot use Chinese in your original post, but in comments there is no problem with it?

Is your blog hosted on your own server, or directly at wordpress.com?
If it is on your own server, do you have latest version?

There are plenty blogs on WordPress which are all Chinese language.
So normally it should not be any problem.

Danny

Thank you for coming in on this. Because of what you’re saying, I once more
did a test post and I think I can say in the plainest Chinese Bablefish could at
all provide 問題不是那么容易.

It must be in my WordPress/Thesis configuration, but when asked upon
installing, I just gave it utf-8. Next thing I know, it doesn’t follow suit.

The weird thing being, I can see the Chinese characters in your comment,
but that’s probably unrelated.

Then I went to do a test post, didn’t work, but I have to say you couldn’t
project any computer knowledge on me. I am sure you would know one
or two things about this that I am overlooking.

On my computer I have the language bar fully functional, as I will be working
with Chinese font all the time, or even Cyrillic, so I am not sure the problem
is with that, unless of course you tell me differently.

I would be obliged if at all you can help out here, until then 谢谢我的朋友.

Be well,

I so enjoy blogging, it is actually a revelation as I never thought I would
ever do one. If only I had known before, it’s so easy, so instant, no codes.

Anyway, now that I’m here, inspiration never stops and I intend to continue
doing series, on Oriental cosmology, of course some raw stuff on 9 Star Ki and Four Pillars of Destiny.

There is only two things that bother me a bit. First, for some reason I haven’t
been able to use Chinese characters – even though I told Thesis right from the start to use utf-8 -, which will affect the postings a great deal, then also, I think what I will be posting may be a task for the true beginner as I am assuming a
bit of knowledge on account of fundamentals.

Thanks for your endorsements, it’ll keep me on my toes. And of course, if you’d give me a hint on any topic for a new series you’d wish to see, just say so, it
gives me something to do and who knows what will come out.

Be well,

Heluo
