I have started blogging in Malayalam too !!

I find reading Malayalam blogs more interesting than actually writing blogs in Malayalam…. may be because I am not used to writing Malayalam online using the transliteration and similar stuff, where we write words using English letters which will be changed to the desired language automatically.

When I started reading Malayalam blogs, I found that most of them use Blogger.com since they have the transliteration feature, a feature which makes blogging in Indic languages really easy. Why don’t they just use Wordpress.org or Wordpress.com ? We really need more people start using Wordpress, to blog in Indic languages. Don’t you think so ?

Initially I started with Blogger itself, and then started copying the content to Wordpress and it worked perfect. Just that I typed everything using Blogger.com and then published it using Wordpress.org blog on this domain itself. ( sssh … secret .. I have another installation of Wordpress on this domain where I play with themes and now Malayalam Blogging )

If you install certain softwares, which enables transliteration on your computer, you can directly blog in Indic languages, using Wordpress platform. So I installed “Keyman” and started writing to Wordpress blog directly, in Malayalam.
