When I first uploaded my pretty Rococo layout for Sodapop.nu with Filezilla, I made a note here about how it exploded into a fit of Chinese characters. Re-uploading everything with the control panel File Manager seemed to fix the problem, but I wasn't exactly sure why. And went on with life.
Cut to about a week ago, and I discovered that my pretty Rococo layout was looking pretty lame in Firefox. The style sheet wasn't working/loading. I finally tried to fix this ominous problem today, and found out: a) Firefox wants everything to be encoded the same way, style sheet or html (and gets pissed and won't display the style sheet if the encoding doesn't match); b) Filezilla works only with ASCII or UTF-8; c) if you try to upload something encoded in Unicode with Filezilla, it turns into a fit of Chinese characters (what happened to the Rococo layout the first time I tried uploading it); d) re-saving all of my files (css included!) for this layout in UTF-8 and re-uploading them with Filezilla seemed to fix everything. I think. Sometimes my style sheets still weren't showing up in Firefox, but it worked once so I think it might be a cache problem?
I hate webdesigners. And Firefox. All of this mess just because I wanted cute little hearts and saved my text files in Unicode to keep them. :/
