A dear friend of mine recently texted me that she knew I'd written a post about a mattress pad experience but wasn't able to locate when I'd written it.
I felt awful for her since I've been writing on this blog now since 2008. I've written over 3,600 posts. In fact, I can't even remember what I've posted about. I KNOW I've repeated myself tons of times and I apologize for that.
Anyway, I showed her how to locate something on my blog the next time she wants to search for a particular topic.
It's helped me tons of times when I try to figure out if I've already written about that particular topic.
Hmmm... I wonder if I've already written about this. Could be... 😆
I do this often when looking for an old post. I’ve been doing this since 2006. Without the search there would be no way to find anything…like FB. Once posted there, you’ll never find it again.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know that was possible. Never too old to learn something new.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about that. But I do have a Search this Blog widget which I've used myself to find topics I've posted about.
ReplyDeleteI use that search feature all the time, and have explained it to many readers. I've been at it since 2006.
ReplyDeleteLike Marcia, I have a widget in my sidebar.
ReplyDeleteI've been doing my blog since 2008 as well. I knew about the search box, but have rarely used it.
ReplyDeleteI discover that index also and enjoyed showing my grand daughter Rory who is 11 all photos of herself since she was born as I have blogged for 15 years...
ReplyDeleteI have used the search box before. I can relate to the not remembering what I've written about in the past.
ReplyDeleteDo all blogs have that? Or just certain platforms? I'll have to go look at my own blog!
ReplyDeleteMargaret, all Blogger (Blogspot) blogs have the default search window at the top. It does come in handy!
DeleteI use that search bar on my own blog a lot, mostly recipes.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kay!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so very welcome. I’m very touched that you are coming to visit me via this blog. I wish we could do so in person but with that 893 infection count yesterday we will be locking ourselves down again.
DeleteFeb 2018 gives us all the information we ever wanted to know about mattress pads and toppers too.
ReplyDeleteBlogs and Journals. My older ones sit in boxes in the garage....1974 on.
I use if for much the same reason but also to see when it was that I had company, caught a cold or took the dog to the vet. It is a great memory aid.
ReplyDeleteI've used that many times
ReplyDeleteWell, what do ya know. I have that little box too. I never even paid any attention to it.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I've used the box on the left many times to check and see what I said. I wouldn't want to contradict myself!!!
ReplyDeleteWE need a new mattress and I am debating if we should just get anew expensive topper instead.
ReplyDeleteI have a search box on both my blogs, and I use them frequently. Glad to see you've got one, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteGood reminder, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI use that search box a lot. Often just to find an archived photo.
ReplyDeleteI hope you stay safe! Our numbers are rising a bit, too.
