I am not sure if I am some super stupid or what... but i am facing these strange problems.... I am not able to use the edited version of blog.module.

What I am doing...

(1) I turn off the module blog first.
(2) Then I upload the edited version of blog.module and ftp it. I start getting errors on different-different line numbers and I have to use the original version back again
(3) I edited using notepad, wordpad (saving as text ofcourse) and even tried editing online through cpanel filemanager available on my host. I even tried editing the file by just putting a word after 'blog entries' without clicking enter or backspace to avoid any appearance of unknown characters.
(4) Is it bcos I am editing on Windows and my host is on linux and there is some character handling issue.
(5) Please suggest a editor or what wrong I might be doing.

thanks in advance, i m non a programmer so pls excuse me ...

It might help if you supply some of the specific errors you are having. I would suggest either ultraedit or jedit as editors.

Another editor suggestion is Crimson Editor. www.crimsoneditor.com. It is free and can save in UTF-8 format

Edit and save in UTF-8 character format.

FTP in ASCII mode (not binary) -- many ftp programs (like Fetch) will not automatically recognize ".module" as an ASCII file.

Clear your cache.

Read responses of people more knowledgeable than I.

check whether you have an extra space or blank line at the end of the modified file.

Thanks everybody...

I think it should be UTF/Ascii ftp issue . I will try out the suggestions. The blank lines issue I had tried since i had faced the similar problem in conf file. So only two suggestions are left.

thanks agagain for helping me out.

If the problem is line 1, then your editor is inserting a UTF-8 Byte-order mark/signature in the file. Good editors will allow you to turn this feature off. I use notepad2 to code PHP.
