Recently I was accessing few websites and I noticed that they had some hindi text, however the text was garbled and the reason for that was that the hindi font wasn’t installed by default with OS X.

Although I’d selected India as the country, it never installed the local language fonts and I think that’s kind of bad on the part of Apple. Anyway, let me tell you that how we can install various languages :

Micro-blogging is amazing, it’s simply wonderful and there are many reasons as to why it’s beneficial for bloggers. There are many micro-blogging services available and I believe each and every one has a benefit of their own, here’s the list of popular micro-blogging services :

1. Twitter – mother of all micro-blogging services.
2. Jaiku – similar to twitter and now owned by Google.
3. Tumblr – Hosted solution of tumblelog.
4. Gelato CMS – another hosted solution of tumblelog.
5. Chyrp – Lightweight blogging engine.

This post is dedicated to Chyrp as yesterday was the first time, when I tried it and fell in love with it. What I really loved about it was that it’s pretty light weight, extendable and pretty easy to use.

Here’s what Chyrp has to say about itself :

“Chyrp is a blogging engine designed to be very lightweight while retaining functionality. It is driven by PHP and MySQL (with some AJAX thrown in), and has a pimpin’ theme and module engine, so you can personalize it however you want.”

Well, after looking at Chyrp and the way it works, I got a feeling that I’m looking at a stripped version of WordPress but still holds all the power to be extended to a level that it can compete with WordPress. Well, that may be called exaggeration but I can say that it really impressed me too much. In fact after such a long time, any product excited me so much.

Chyrp can be extended like WordPress with available modules (plugins in case of WP) and has got themes too. However, I still believe that theme engine of WordPress is far better than any other blog client.

Well, a couple of posts back I’d posted that it’s good to start a podcast, however there is always a thing called Good podcast and a bad podcast. Just like a good blog and a bad blog. So, how can one be a champion podcaster. Well, I’ve not started one yet, so can’t say that how one can be a great podcaster.

However, Jim has created 10 videos and talks about various aspects of podcasting, how to create podcasts and even tells you that while doing a podcast, how important is lightning, sound and your clothes can be. He even tells you that what camera you should opt for, if at all you decide to start a podcast.

Note this is a contest entry plus a resource entry for every to know that yes, it makes sense to start a podcast and may be this is my first step to jump into podcasting, may be I’m just being camera shy. Anyone for the podcasts ?
