I came across a great plugin for WordPress for playing MP3 files. This player is very easy to install and makes putting your MP3 files on your posts a breeze. I installed and had my first MP3 post up in less than 10 minutes. This plugin can be located on 1pixelout and is called Audio Player Wordpress plugin.

Weird Characters After WordPress Upgrade
Shawn Brown
After upgrading my WordPress site I noticed a bunch of strange characters in all my articles. A came across a very easy solution to fix this issue on the WordPress forum. Here’s the solution as posted on the forum:
This problem appeared first in 2.2.x The problem (as you surmised) is a problem with the character set.
FIX: Commenting these two lines out in wp-config.php fixed it.
// define(’DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8′);
// define(’DB_COLLATE’, ”);This was a very simple fix and worked perfectly with no issues.
