I had the same problem. I solved it by commenting out the encoding line in wp-config file:
I changed
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8′);
to
// define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8′);
the funny characters have disappeared…
The plugin has the hReview elements hidden. Is there a way to make it visible? Isn’t it required by Google to be visible text?
Thanks.

The answer has always been here! http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Function_Reference/make_clickable
<?php make_clickable( $ret ) ?>
No need for plugins.

There is a plugin here- http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/auto-hyperlink-urls/ but it doesn’t quite work with WP 2.8
