It may be hard to believe but I spent 45 minutes on my blog before 8:00 a.m. and am only now posting (4:30 p.m.). The reason is because of Ben's Box.
Ben's Box is a search box located on the right side of the page that enables readers to search for keywords among my posts. It is going to be a better way of retrieving old posts to re-read or share.
For those who care about this kind of stuff, it's what is now called a widget (in the blogosphere). Widgets do any number of things and are typically 3rd party add-ons for your website. This is a search widget. I have had a couple the last few days that I've been experimenting with. Unfortunately, I haven't been happy with them, nor am I really happy with this one, though it's the best I've found. The best is in the Navigation Bar at the top of the page, but I can't figure out how to move that down the page and customize the look of it, but I'm trying. I'll keep you informed of my progress.
