    Blogging…

    4th June 2007 /

    This post is about three items related to blogging. Windows Live Writer Beta 2 Microsoft have finally released the new version (Beta 2) of Windows Live Writer. I consider Live Writer to the best software from Windows Live team. After their initial release – no news from them for almost a year now. It was as bad as dead, and I thought it is one of those Microsoft’s experiments that don’t make it. Writer is probably the software I use most after Explorer, Outlook, Internet Explorer in that order. I am happy to see the project living and improvements made in the new version. And it supports dasBlog better than ever. …

    Venkatarangan.com – Fourth Year Anniversary

    30th January 2007 /

    What I started casually has now completed THREE YEARS and into its Fourth Year. I am talking about this blog that you are reading (www.venkatarangan.com/blog). I started it more as a log book – but now has become a reference and as a good outlet for me. I myself keep coming back to this blog mostly to reference on some links or recollect on how I felt on a issue or technology sometime back. Blogging has convinced me that who you are here, your thoughts changes on the experiences you keep having – and the experiences themselves change on time; in short we evolve over time. If you haven’t started blogging, please do…

    Windows Live Writer – Post

    10th September 2006 /

    I am doing this post using Windows Live Writer. The latest build had a built in support for dasBlog (blogging software I use in my blog). If you need more information on customization WLW for dasblog, read this post from Scott and this post from dasblog.Info. Update Posted on 2/Oct/2006: When I first using WLW I was using dasBlog 1.8.x, which didn’t support image uploading. I had to FTP images and for some firewall issues with my ISP, FTP from WLW was not working. Since I upgraded my blog software to dasBlog 1.9.x the image upload problem was solved. I am now able to upload images to my blog using…

    Indic Rendering problem of my blog with FireFox

    26th November 2005 /

    When you view Tamil texts created with dasBlog like my blog indic page, you will see the Tamil contents not getting displayed properly in Mozilla or Firefox. It turns out to be a problem in the CSS with the text-align:justify; property. I have described this in my earlier blog post last year. After I upgraded to latest dasBlog version (1.8.5223.2) I selected “Project 84” as my theme, this problem resurfaced. All it needed was going to /themes/Project84 and editing the style.css file. In the file,  you need to delete the above-said property in the #content style.
