Welcome to my site

Hello and welcome to my small site. It is devoted to astronomy, space and other interesting things. I have just started to translate content into English (until now, it was German-only). I am working to modify the menu and add more English content. As this is non-profit, volunteer work, it may need a while. If you have any feedback, I'd appreciate if you could drop my a line in the English forum area.
Follow my trip to the space shuttle launch ...

WordPress: Cleaning German Umlauts 2034 mal gelesen
This plugin for Wordpress Replaces german umlauts in permalinks, posts, comments, feeds, page title and meta tags.

This plugin is heavily based on the "German Permalinks" plugin from Scott Hanson with modifications form Michael Renzmann.

There are some useful, as I think, additions to Michael's plugin:

I have added the capability to clean the header title text as well as the meta tags. I've also fixed an issue with html entities which lead Ü to convert to Uuml; (without the leading ampersand).

This is a sample how your page may show up in search results without the plugin:

Of course, I didn't like that at all. I was happy to find an existing plugin that I could quickly adopt to my needs.

I tested my plugin with WordPress 2.3 and I assume it will work with new versions for a long time (it is quite simple).

So far, this plugin converts special German characters, only. If you need to have some other characters converted, drop me a line with the details and I'll see what I can do ;)

WordPress Umlaut Plugin 2362 mal gelesen
This is the home page for the o42-clean-umlauts-rger WordPress plugin. This plugin solves problems WordPress has when displaying umlaut characters (see sample below) and building links from them. It is based on the popular o42 plugin (hence its name) and is modified by me to take care of the title and meta tags.

Alles, was sonst nirgends reinpasste Those that know me also know that I like to travel. So what would be more natural these days than to add a travel blog? Indeed, and this is exactly what I did. Please visit my travel blog from time to time. I'll add random thoughts about past, present and future travel locations to the blog. More in-depth articles will probably go to this site here.
