    I got throught the first 2 steps without a problem, and even got to past the 3rd step before my host had to move my site to a better server. But now I get stuck on step 3 and get this error in the function-formattiong file : Fatal error: Call to undefined function utf8_decode(). I did some research and one post said that I would need to install php-xml. Is this the only way around this error. Please help because I really want to use wordpress because moveabletype just doesn’t compare.

    Hmm. I *could* suggest editing the line in functions-formatting.php which calls utf8_decode(), changing it from this:

    $string = utf8_decode(strtr($string, $invalid_latin_chars));

    to this:

    $string = strtr($string, $invalid_latin_chars);

    and see if it still works. But no guarantees.
