I am not sure what has happened lately, but the more blogs I go to the less I see the SEARCH option. 

Will you let me rant for a bit about this?  Ok. Good.

I am always on the lookout for wonderfully talented sewers to interview– show trunk shows, link up with or whatever…and I am having a hard time finding the content that i need or a photo that I want to snatch {with their permission. of course.}

A SEARCH option is pretty much a default with anyones blog.  You actually have to manually remove it. 

So, I am not sure what the reasoning is on having is dissapear from your blog/website?

Could it be that you want to hide all the goodies from everyone?  You make us resort to using Bing or Google to find the link and cross our fingers that is actually takes us to the correct post!

There is nothing more frustrating than using those search engines for something specific.  Finding the link we would love to see.  Going there and the page isn't found! 

For a moment, I think, no biggie.  I will use the sites SEARCH option to find it again.  But noooooo….. there isn't one to be found!

What? I search the side bars.  The menu bars.  The footnotes of the page. Nothing. Not a hint of a SEARCH.

I am lost.  Lost at how to find the origional post. 

Lost at finding even more goodies on your site.

I get a bit urked….and do you think I would like to return to your site? Maybe.  Maybe not.  I don't want to go on a wild goose chase everytime I 'miss' some wonderful post of yours!

So this is a shout out — please find that SEARCH option and ADD it to your crafty blog!

Let us snoopers find what we need.  Let us spend some time with your past posts and archives.  We love to do that— but only if we are in control.

Even if you stick it at the weee bottom of the page. Let it still be there for us to use.
