Before going to writing blogs in sinhala you must prepare your computer to work with Sinhala! Fallows the instruction
Windows
Windows XP - Step by Step Guide
If you use Windows XP, you will need Windows XP with Service Pack 2. If you don’t have Service Pack 2, please download it from here () and install it before setting up Sinhala.
Okay, since you have Service Pack 2 installed, let’s proceed. Download the file below and setup it.

After Installation, you’ll get the Language Bar. You can switch the language to Sinhala start typing!
The default is the Wijesekara Keyboard. But if you have no experience with this keyboard, you can try out the Garp Uniphonic Driver or SinhalaKey Addon for Firefox.
Firefox 2 doesn’t render Sinhala properly. Get Firefox 3 from www.mozilla.com - A Sinhala version Firefox is also available
Windows Vista - Step by Step Guide
Sinhala Support is already included in Vista. But you must install the Quick Fix to type Sinhala properly in Wijesekara.
Quick Fix pack for Vista :

Pre XP Windows Versions (read only support)
For pre Windows XP versions such as Windows 98 and 2000, install this read only Sinhala pack : http://www.siyabas.lk/english/files/Sinhala IE1.0.exe
Please note that pre-XP Sinhala support is very limited. It’s read only.
Linux
Please go to http://sinhala.sourceforge.net for information on setting up Sinhala in Linux

Currently Free Sinhala support is not available for Mac. But you can purchase a Sinhala Enabling Pack from this site: http://www.xenotypetech.com/osxSinhala.html
If you have a delicious account, you can add your latest bookmarks into your sidebar with the aptly titled delicious widget. This is a nice way of sharing your social bookmarks from around the web with your blog’s readers.
Widget title - The title that will appear above the bookmarks when the widget is displayed in your sidebar.
del.icio.us login - Your username on the delicious site.
Number of links -How many links/bookmarks you want to show in the widget
Show bookmarks containg all of these tags - If this text box is used, the widget will only display bookmarks with the specified tags. Make sure to separate the tags with spaces or it will not work. You could tag the bookmarks you wanted to share with your readers “blog” or “lanka”, and effectively filter out any of the others.
Whether the link’s description is shown, if you provided one.
Whether the link’s tags are shown.
Whether the link’s favicon is shown.
The Flickr widget makes it easy to show thumbnails of he latest pictures from your Flickr account.
Title - Sets the title to be shown above the photos.
Flickr RSS URL - The RSS feed URL for your account on Flickr. Visit your account page on Flickr (not a photo, album, tag, or any other page), scroll down to the bottom until you see the Feed link (see screenshot below). Right click on it and copy the URL. Paste it into this box.
How many photos would you like to display - You can select to display anywhere from 1 to 10 photos.
If your Flickr photostream does not show up on your blog, ensure that your privacy settings are not preventing public access. To check this, logout of Flickr and try to access your photostream. If you can see the photos, it should be okay. If you get an error saying something such as “user does not have any photos available to you,” you will need to change your privacy settings.
Can I use the feeds of a particular Set?
Yes, you can. However, doing so will only result in the image titles being displayed within your widget. That is, no thumbnails will display (like when using the feed of your Photostream). This makes the use of sets with the Flickr widget rather unattractive. You can find the feed URL to a particular set by viewing the respective set and following the steps as outlined above.
Can I use the feeds of a particular Tag?
Yes, and this can even serve as an effective solution to the shortcomings of the set feeds (as mentioned above). You can apply a specific tag to each photo in a set, and then use the tag feed with the widget. While viewing a particular tag, scroll down and click the “Latest” link in the RSS area. The tag feed will appear in your address bar. Copy and paste it into the Flickr widget.
