A MICHAEL search box on your blog!

I have just used the code generator (see the Tools for Developer link) to put a MICHAEL search box onto my blog. It is easy! Just choose a region (I haven't yet got it to search the whole dataset - but I am sure I will work that out) and generate the code. Copy the HTML code.

Then go to you Blogger account and click on Customise. Add a new page element - and then choose HTML / Javascript 3rd Party code. Just paste the text into the box, give it a title, and click 'save'. Then it works.

You can, of course, do this on any site, bt I hadn't though of putting it on a Blog!

Of course - we could do with links, tags and a couple of other things on the community page. This works much better than I thought it would!

Ok, there's now a MICHAEL London search box on the blog. Though it's not retrieving the same results as the MICHAEL website.. but it's a start!

I just added a MICHAEL East Midlands search box to the blog. It was very easy - all I had to do was copy the code fragement generated on http://www.michael-culture.org.uk/mpf/pub-uk/tools.html and paste it into the blog. I had to alter the display size of the MICHAEL logo before though.
