EXCITING HOUSEKEEPING NOTE! SEARCH FUNCTION NOW WORKS!

Thank you, Google, and thanks esp. to Typepad, for finally figuring out the problem with the search function, which for literally years I've been trying to get to work on this site, but NOW IT DOES!

Really. Check it out (and tell me if I'm wrong). But I've tried via two different computers and browsers and have found that if you type a name or detail into the search box (for instance, say, La Nina, or Kelly Redmond, or The Host) that Google will instantly return a list of posts. Occasionally the post you want may not show up at the very top of the site for that particular day, but usually it does, and if you scroll down, you will find it on the list, without having to go elsewhere. Nirvana!

This is not as routine as it might sound on the intertubes. Major sites (notoriously, The Los Angeles Times) and bloggers still cannot always manage this crucial surfing trick. I'm so happy I could yell (but on the Internet, no one can hear you yell unless you post it).

I'm going to spare you that and just grin. Over five years I've covered a lot of ground on this site, and often myself have wished I could track down this post or that post. Now you can too…
