Google Custom Search

Do you want your readers to have a custom search engine, that searches your blog first? What a great tool for finding kits, and other goodies! Make sure as you write your posts you add key words, like how you might be able to use a kit, etc.

Google makes it so simple! Just add the following code as a gadget.

Go to CUSTOMIZE/LAYOUT/PAGE ELEMENTS/ADD A GADGET

Select HTML Java Script and add the following code:

<!-- Google Custom Search Element -->
<div id="cse" style="width:100%;">Loading</div>
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  google.load('search', '1');
  google.setOnLoadCallback(function(){
    new google.search.CustomSearchControl().draw('cse');
  }, true);
</script>

This script will allow your readers to quickly search YOUR BLOG/WEBSITE for any key words. This works beautifully!

Here’s to more happy scrapping, and

Hugs from the heart,
