Add a Google search box to any site?

Christian Crumlish

John Robb posts the code for adding a Google search widget to your blog (or any site, really).

However, as I read it, it seems to work with entire domains (for example, jrobb.userland.com). Sites like this whose root address is a subdirectory of a root domain (this site's address is currently blogs.salon.com/0001111/) may not benefit from this approach. Unless I'm reading the code wrong, it appears that it can be used to search all of blogs.salon.com but not specifically my corner of it.

If I'm wrong about this or if there is a workaround, please tell me, as I would like to add search to this site.

Finding a better metaphor: I think Annalee Newitz is onto a better frame for blogging than the tired old media-pundit sliver in her Techsploitation column in the SF Bay Guardian: reality TV. It seems in many ways as if our entire media culture is devoted to broadcasting ephemera. Blogs, like reality TV, record the minutiae... (Weblog Concepts)

Imminent death of blogging predicted -Film at 11: Written in the mode of a jaded Internet old-timer (how weak is that?), a New York Press Media & Politics item points out the deep irrelevance of weblogs, noting that they are "a circle jerk" and that the best bloggers long to be media columnists like ol' no-signature who penned the...

Microsoft, Apple blog plans?: The Blog Herald reads about a panel at the upcoming Microsoft PDC conference and predicts that MS will roll out a blogging tool as part of MSN or SharePoint. SharePoint 2003 includes a "Web Log" web package for including a blog-like element in a SharePoint collaborative website, but it's only semibakes... (Products)
Substantial blogging at Edwards site: Mike Kasper from EdwardsforPrez.com (an unofficial Edwards-supporter site) followed up my comment from a few days ago about John Edwards writing some of his own blog entries. I compared his first efforts to cat-blogging, in the sense of journal- or diaristic entries. I actually think that's a good place to start... (Politics)
