Image via WikipediaWe’re now up to 1.7!! I got fed up of ” characters and other punctuation characters getting turned into ? by magpie, also, no display of Chinese or Turkish characters (thanks http://blog.mukispace.com and http://blog.mavikalemler.net/ I used your sites url to test the output of foreign language characters in UTF-8

I moved the determining of the feed location to my server now so the plugin code is a little shorter and neater. Now it should always pick up the feed location from the head of the target site, if it can’t find one there, it searches through the page content for the most likely link to a feed so as long as a feed is linked in the page, it will be picked up and parsed by commentluv.

The plugin itself should be more stable, as long as your blog hosting has the ability to CURL or access external files then it should work. If your hosting wont allow external access to files from within your scripts, be sure to ask them to whitelist the domain www.commentluv.com .

I’m running it on this post from now on so please give it a test especially if you have had problems before or you have a foreign language character set on your site.

I got in the good books today after posting an anonymous message on a new website called 1 million love messages. My missus got all warm and fluffy when she saw my message.

It’s a great idea, that being to have one place to do one thing, spread the love and make a difference to peoples lives with 3 simple words.

I saw the reaction to my message and I can confirm that love does mean a lot even if it’s as an anonymous message that only the recipient would realize is about them.

Give it a go yourself and tell someone what everyone needs to hear now and then..
