Notes from your editor: missing sidebar, search engine for blog


See that big white space over on the right, where you used to see text? Where is it now?

Occasionally a post requires extra space and pushes the right sidebar (the part with my bio, titles of the most recent posts and access to Archived posts, over on the right-hand side) down to the bottom, where it is currently resting. It's still there; you just need to scroll down to get to it. (Or hold down Ctrl/End keys, once the page is fully loaded, to get there quickly; you can get back to the top by holding down Ctrl/Home keys.) When the affecting post gets pushed off the first page (due to subsequent posts moving it down), the sidebar will flip back up to the top. With the number of posts I'm publishing these days, this should happen within the next day or so.

On another topic, if you've never used the search engine at the top of this page to look for a post by or about a particular person or related to a particular topic, try inserting one or more key words in the little box up
there and click on "Search this blog." (If you want to see what other blogs may have to say on the same subject, click "Search all blogs.") This is a good way to save time if you want to find a particular post. KB
