 * So, I’m new to WordPress (obviously, from the nature of this complaint…). I switched
   to it maybe.. 2 days ago? site in question: [http://chelsilynn.com](http://chelsilynn.com)
 * I was mucking around in the reading settings of the wp-admin page yesterday and
   did a _very_ silly thing. I changed the coding from UTF-8 to ‘unicode’. I thought
   eh, it’ll just change the site, I can fix it from [here] if it messes up!, but
   nay, the admin panel and all is now in some sort of Kana and is unnavigable. 
   Needless to say, lesson learnt, but that still doesn’t fix it.
 * I tried searching the problem but my google-fu is weak, so at risk of sounding
   like a complete idiot (and I’m sure I do xP)… here I am. Anybody know how to 
   fix this from cPanel or.. something?
