Description: Weblog is configured to use non-UTF-8 encoding. Attempt to post results in error message “Blog Server Error. Parse error. Not well formed”. Posts from the web UI are fine.

Reason and Solution: PHP’s XML parser does not support encodings besides UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, and US-ASCII. You must use one of these encodings. After changing the setting on your blog, you will need to force Writer to redetect your encoding by choosing the menu option Weblog | Edit Weblog Settings, clicking on the Update Account Configuration button, and stepping through the wizard.
