Writing your blog posts in Assamese

There is no direct support to write blog posts (atleast in wordpress or blogspot) in assamese but you can write with help of some unicode editors. One important thing to remember that your browser need to support unicode formats. Well, IE 6+ and Mozilla Firefox supports unicode character formats.
Steps:
• Open an online unicode editor ( Editor : http://www.assamesemail.com/editor/im3.htm Main Page – Unicode Online : http://www.unicodeonline.com/assamese/index.htm) type the words you want to type. You do not need an assamese keyboard for the same (I doubt if there is one). For example to type মই, you have to type “moi”. but the editor is pathetic and you will lose your mind so better use http://ekushey.org/projects/browser_ime/qwerty-phonetic or http://www.lipikaar.com/. Both of these sites a specially for bengali so, we need just replace “R” in app
• select and copy the words and paste it in your blog editor. You are done.
