why nudi? why not Unicode?

You wouldn't bother to do any of this if you are blogging using Unicode.

It is a valid Question.
0. you can do in UNICODE. I am not opposing it.
1.Most of the common user more familiar with Nudi/Baraha than UNICODE
2.Kannada UNICODE fonts won't come as clear as Nudi/Baraha.
3.Guide is ment to Novice users. Yes Geeks can do great things!!!!.

Well. The good news is that now, there is no need to have any such softwares pre installed. All one needs is the font, which is most of the time available easily in WinXP.

This website called http://quillpad.in/kannada has this amazing capability of transliterating to kannada from English in realtime! Which makes it all the more awesome!!

This is good news to the kannada community indeed...
