Blog Tune-Up — Added Search

The brand new, official Spaghetti Testing Search Widget(tm) is right over there on the sidebar, right under the about me blah blah text.

Why? Because Chris Brogan told me to:

The #1 thing I seek in a blog I’m returning to (versus a newly discovered blog) is a search bar. Why? Because often, I’m returning to a blog to find a story.

It’s a good point – I myself have gone to back to blogs looking for specific stories that I have recalled reading, but neglected to bookmark. Without search, it becomes very hard to find them, especially if the time lapse is longer than a few days. (or hours depending on the bloggers’ posting frequency!)

BTW, I’ve also dumped the categories listing in the sidebar – I’m not satisfied with it and it takes too much space for nuthin’. I’m switching to tags anyhow.
