I wanted to be able to search the Blue Letter Bible from my firefox search bar the way I can with google.I knew they had a way to add search plug ins to it, so I figured it couldn’t be that hard. I was right.

I followed mozilla’s instructions and it was easy as pie! (Except I used motobits image converter instead of the one they recommended)

To add the search plug in you have to make a web page and put a special tag in that page. Firefox and internet explorer both recognize that tag and add an install option to the search bar at the top. IE even gives you a preview of how it would look if it were installed!

But, since I had to make a web page anyways, I figured I might as well make it look good. And I wanted to play with a couple of cool things I had heard of: the Yahoo CSS grid generator, and the Stripe Generator 2.0 (which both rock, btw)

So I threw together a simple web page, wrote up a quick how-to for installing the plugin, and had it all ready to go in no time! I’m pretty impressed with the outcome.

The web page is nfriedly.com/blb, go check it out for yourself.

I also emailed BLB and mentioned it to them.

That’s it for now, back to work. Bless you all!
