Reading Older Posts
I
thought I'd post some quick tips on how to navigate and search this
blog. When you scroll downward, you'll eventually come to the bottom of
the page on display. Click the link to older posts as shown in this
screen shot. It will take you to the preceding posts.
Retrieve Posts By Date
You
can also review the posts by date. You'll see a chronological list of
posting in the left-hand column, as shown in this screen shot.
Click
on year or month and you'll get a drop-down list from which to choose
items. You can also use the list of Labels to search by topic.
Search The Blog For Matching Text
Finally, you can use the search box at the top of the left-hand column. It is a text
search of the blog, which means you won't find anything in an image,
even if it looks like text. Enter a word or phrase as shown in this
screen shot.
The
blog will return a list of matching items. The only quirky thing is
the way Google archives old blog posts. It groups them in batches
before moving them to its archive. The search box will find matching
archived posts, but they may be grouped with non-matching items. You'll
have to wade through them to find the precise post you were looking
for. Regardless, it's quicker than the hunt-and-peck method.
Here's a screen shot of the results window. Just click the item you want to view it.
