Sorry for the late reply.

Personally I write every entry in UTF-8. I although think that UTF-8  
should be the default encoding for pyblosxom 2.0. The only problem I  
see is that you never know how the entries are saved in the textfiles.  
So even if everything is set to UTF-8 in the config, a rogue text file  
may mess things up.
I thought about adding something like #encoding UTF-8, iso8859-1 to  
the text entries so you know what encoding they have. But I did not  
really like that idea in the end.

Kind regards,
Michael
