UTF-8, German Umlauts and other strange chars

[austriaka]

Problem: some Pixelpost pages don't show up in UTF-8 automatically.
This is very annoying in case of photoblog is written in a language containing special characters like german Umlauts.

Reason: If actual PP version is used and no changes to META tags were made, most possible reason is server configuration of ISP.

Solution: Create a text with the following lines:
AddDefaultCharSet utf-8
AddCharSet utf-8 .shtml .htm .html .php
Save it as ".htaccess" and upload it into your PP directory (where index.php is stored).

Thanks to the guys at all-inkl.com (http://www.all-inkl.com/index.php?cna=webhosting&partner=21247)
