Seek and Ye Shall Find
August 16, 2009
The Chicago History Journal has a lot of information on its pages. The site is approaching its two year anniversary in November, and the posts and links have piled up. Add the three satellite sites - the Online Library, CHJ YouTube and the links pages - and it really begins getting tricky and time consuming to find out if I have information on your selected topic.
The new Google "Search" box at the top of the left column should help. Type in a topic, hit search and a list of relevant posts on the Journal appears. But wait! There's more! There is a second tab that indicates where the information can be found on the satellite sites also. One click and you scour all three blogs. Love it. Hope you find the new feature useful.

Thank you for your wonderful information on Chicago. I have added your widget to my website. My mother grew up on the South Side, and my parents raised me on the North Side. I spend my free time finding ways to get into the city! Thank you again for all the wonderful insight. A search bar is always welcomed.
Welcome, Kimmy! I do what I can in my own small way. But, Chicago is just so darn interesting! Some of this stuff you just couldn't make up! Hey - I am a big fan of Pink Floyd, too. Thanks for stopping.
I don't always leave comments but I read your posts and they are always fascinating. I'm glad you added a search feature that should help people looking for specific information.
Mountain Woman, thanks for stopping! I don't think any of us leave as many comments as we would like. There simply is no time. I am glad you enjoy my site - as I do yours. Red Pine Mountain is one of my favorites. Do I remember reading that you are not posting on one of your sites? Your recent photos on the walk in the woods were magical.
That will be quite simple to use I think. I imagine for 2 years, this site has had some amazing pages archived, and I don't think I have seen half of them. Thanks for the tool.
