ThE SeArCh BaR Is uTtErLy SuCkS

Hey Blog. How've you been? I'm feeling a bit guilty. I haven't been making updates as regularly as I should or could have.

So I have this little blog thingy. I've been writing in here for about a month now. And over that period of time, the wonderful people at Blogger.com have made updates and revisions to their software to make blogging cleaner, faster, prettier, and more user friendly. However, they have recently done something that is not very pretty. They have added this little search bar at the top of my blog. I'm not diggin' the search bar.

Now, I'm sure that for people with newer templates, the little search bar fits in nicely and doesn't destroy the whole aesthetic of the blog. And in theory, it's a neat idea because you could just type in "I am merely a passerby" and find all of the entries I've written. But I have an older template. One no longer available to new bloggers. And the little search bar does not fit in at all with the aesthetic of my template. In fact, it blocks part of it out. I tried making modifications to my template to allow for the search bar, but they didn't seem to work. I even tried making the search bar green so it would at least be in the same color family as the rest of my blog. That didn't take.

So my dear, beloved readers, I am aware of the problem. I am trying to remedy it. Of course, if any of the wonderful people at Blogger.com knows how I can simply remove the search bar, or move it to a different location in my blog (as part of the side bar, perhaps?), I would be happy to make those changes as well. But please bear with me in the meantime as my blog looks a little crappy. I will try to modify it after my common test is over.

And I promise I'll stop saying "blog" soon. It's not a very fun word...joking laah !
