What a Difference TextWrangler Makes!

This week I was playing around with different Related Posts widgets for my blog and was trying to figure why I was getting a double title from one of the widgets.  I was looking at the Page Source for different pages and of course I ended up needing to compare 2 files to see the differences.  As this is the first time I needed to do this on a Mac, I had to search a little.  What a find....TextWrangler!  I have definitely heard of it before as well as its creator Bare Bones.  It was a no-brainer for me and I immediately stopped looking for alternatives.  TextWrangler did a great job placing the files side-by-side with a summary of the differences below.  All I needed to was click any of the difference and it would jump to the appropriate place in each file for me to view.

How to Type Degree Temperature Symbol in Mac OS X

I have been writing for Culinary Aspiration food blog for a few months now, and can you believe I do not know how to put a degree temperature symbol.  After searching and confirming with the Mac keyboard viewer, you can place type a degree temperature symbol in two ways.

Option+Shift+8    °
Option+k              ˚

They do look a little different and I will probably use the first as the symbol is bigger.
