I now have search and an archive available for my site. I previously tried to setup crappy search by cheating using Yahoo Pipes and now
instead I have a slightly less crappy search that works over all of the content that I've produced on my blog, uploaded to flickr or youtube, or added to delicious.
You can now read my first LiveJournal blog post or, for probably
much more entertainment value, view all the photos and videos of Cadbury by searching for 'bunny'.
The search is only slightly less lame because although it searches over all my content, I still implemented it myself rather than getting a professional package. Also, the feed supports the same
search and archive as my homepage so you can subscribe to a feed of Cadbury if you're so inclined and just skip all this other boring
stuff. My homepage and feed implement the OpenSearch response elements and I've got an OpenSearch
search provider (source) as well.
