Let's Talk About Blogging: Searching

Hey, remember these posts! Yeah, I know it has been forever. But I had something I had to share with you.

I am guessing that MOST of you already know this, but I had NO IDEA! So I am going to pretend that at least some of you didn't know this little piece of info either!.

I have been trying to add a search widget to my blog forever. I wanted you (and me) to be able to find old posts easily. Like recipes with peanut butter and chocolate in them. But the widget never worked for me.

Then a couple of days ago I looked up on the top of my blog. On the top left. Where there is a search box. Where you can type in peanut better and chocolate and *BAM* you get all the posts about peanut butter and chocolate.

Please tell me I am NOT the only blogger who didn't realize that was there. Even if you have to lie.

    Well I feel stupid. I thought that was for searching for someone else's blog. Really I did. Otherwise I wouldn't have the little search widget down on my right sidebar. Dang it! I hate feeling stupid!

    Seriously though I really didn't know and thanks!! I'm gonna move my widget on the sidebar now. lol

    OK. I thought it was for searching for another blog too. Put me in the "Lives Under A Rock" category.

    I had no idea!!

    This is my birthday present. I can't tell you how many times I've searched through your blog or others looking for a recipe or some decorating idea I found some while back...

    Of course, when I'm on YOUR blog I don't mind doing it. Yours is the MOST fun to surf!

    Thanks for the tip!!

    I just found it a few days ago! I don't know if I count, though, since I only recently entered the blogging world. I was actually browsing through random blogs and saw the search box and thought, aha! A way to search for new blogs! But, as soon as I realized that it would only let me search items in the blog I was currently on, I was a bit disappointed. Is there no way to search for blogs related to your own interests? I'm hoping that there is, but that its one of those things where I cant see whats in front of my face, lol.
