Quest to add a search field to a blog
I've been looking to find a way to add a search option for this blog. I'm still looking to find a way to do this but in the process I found some interesting information on searching blogs in general using Google.
Hey, I wanna know why many websites provide more online editing features for Windows users over Mac users. For example, I can easily add hyperlinks to my posts when I'm using a Windows machine. I have to manually code the HTML on my Mac, which isn't a big deal, but come on programmers!
Here's a great site that indexes a bunch of blog site tools: http://www.lights.com/weblogs/tools.html
I just found out that you can search a blog by using the search field in the upper nav bar of the page! Ugh. Well, I added the second field anyhow. I'm still not getting any results, but I think that's because Google hasn't indexed my site yet. Live and learn.
