<div>Here's a question for great minds to ponder (thanks to Pat the Field Method guy on the <a href="http://www.blogalization.info/conspiracy/TheFieldmethodsGuy">blogalization wiki</a> and an anonymous commenter. <br/> <br/><blockquote>We need to start some kind of advocacy campaign. People don't understand why Unicode matters. <br/> <br/>Frankly, it's still not easy to deal with. For instance, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make Mozilla choose UTF-8 as the default encoding. And I work with Unicode all the time, so imagine your average web user -- it must be truly flummoxing. <br/> <br/>So maybe a good place to start would be to collaborate on some very simple HOWTO-type articles, aimed probably at bloggers: "What do I have to do to make my blog UTF-8 compliant?" "Which blogging systems support Unicode out of the box?" Etc. <br/> <br/>Google bombing would be fun, heheheh. But what phrase(s) would we take over? <br/> <br/>I guess another easy thing would be just a simple link campaign... you know, how people have those "Validates as..." links. Something along the lines of "This page is made with Unicode... if all the characters don't look right, click here..." And maybe a button? Sometimes buttons are sort of annoying, however... just text might be a better bet. <br/> <br/>Just thinking off the top of my head.</blockquote> <br/> <br/>So, how would we do this? Who would we target? Who's in a position to make a difference? I know I wrote Dave Winer about it (and Weblogs.com did change changes.xml back to Unicode, but I doubt I had anything to do with it: Dave's a busy man). And how can we make ordinary users of, e.g., blogging software, aware of the issue and willing to militate about it to toolmakers? Could we collaborate on writing tutorials for the ordinary user? Do up a unicode banner and try to get people to add it to their "badge" collection? What? </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://blogalization.tribe.net">Blogalization</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>I think it is lame that one cannot use HTML in one's postings here. Anyhow, should Blogalization.info switch to PostNuke? Here's a bare-bones demonstration of the popular open source CMS with Blogalization branding. <br/> <br/>http://blogalization.org/pn/html/index.php <br/> <br/>And keep on blogalizing!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://blogalization.tribe.net">Blogalization</a> - 3 replies </div>
