-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Doug: That is it. I saw binary characters so I saved it to blog.html.gz and then unzipped it. It was gzipped html. Turn off compression in Apache - that should be an instant fix. Alternatively, look at the mime type headers. Also, sometimes a PHP package will generate the page already gzipped - and then apache gzips it too. Sorry I cannot be of more help right now but deadlines are looming over here. Actually that's a good thing... it means paychecks are looming shortly thereafter :-) Eric On 09/17/2010 09:05 AM, Doug Crompton wrote: > Eric, > > Thanks.
