Whether you have a blog or a normal Web site, it can be hard to decide what content should be placed on it. Sure, your core message is the most important component, but as you probably already know, there are an abundance of functional (and not so functional) decorations that you can place on your page. Some of these things include, hit counters, guestbooks, and polls. What you choose is obviously up to you, but a site search engine definitely isn’t a bad idea. You should provide easy access to all of your content, no matter when it was originally posted. Blogbar is a free search engine widget that not only searches through your site and the general Web, but also through the blogosphere.

Popular resources such as Google and Technorati are relied upon to make all of this happen, and there are a number of other search sources that your visitors will have access to. The bar itself is unobtrusive, and can be customized with a variety of attractive design choices. Installing the Blogbar is as simple as copying and pasting a snippet of code onto the desired page. This simple tool will help make your site the gateway to the rest of the Net.
