We Interrupt This Blog For a Brief Message: Now, Better Searching! 
 
by Lenka Reznicek [permalink] 
If you'll forgive the egregious syntax of this post's title, believe us when we say "Change is Good": if you look at the "Archives" section of farkleberries, you may notice that we've changed the archive frequency from "weekly" to "monthly". That's because after nearly 18 months of bloggery, linking each weekly archive page becomes a bit unwieldy. The reason I had kept archives separated by week was to allow relatively easy searching using the FreeFind search box (which you'll find directly under the "recent posts") - trying to locate a specific post on a page containing a month's worth of blather can be pretty hard on the eyes and temper.

However, with Blogger's new "post pages" option, that allows you to create a separate html page for each post (delightful!), using the FreeFind search became much easier and more accurate. Now, when you enter a search term, you'll find not only the main archive page your target post(s) appear, but the specific post will appear as a search result. Very handy, indeed - this is one of my favorite new features wheeled out for the "Great Blogger Relaunch."

By the way, this is farkleberries' 400th post!
