Adding Blogger Search Bar Form To Blogspot

Add a search engine in the sidebar of your blogger blog. This searches all the posts on your blog, and displays them by latest posts first. Inside the search bar you will find the text "Search this Site", this can easily be changed to any text you desire. Such as "Search my Site", "Search", "Type and Hit Enter", etc. Just simply replace the code. You can also change the text "Go" on the button to something like "Search", "Find", etc.

<form id="searchThis" action="/search" style="display: inline;" method="get"> <input onfocus="if(this.value==this.defaultValue)this.value='';" value="Search this Site" type="text" id="searchBox" onblur="if(this.value=='')this.value=this.defaultValue;" style="width: 150px;color:#636363;" vinput="" name="q"> <input id="searchButton" value="Go" type="submit"></form>

How to Backup a Blogger Blog / Make PDF Blogbooker

If you have a blog hosted on Blog*Spot and you've upgraded to the new version, there's an easy way to backup your blog.

This page lists the latest N posts from the blog:
http://blogname.blogspot.com/search?max-results=N
Instead of N, type the number of posts. If your blog has less than 1000 posts, you can save this page:
http://blogname.blogspot.com/search?max-results=1000

To download all the photos uploaded to your blog, DownThemAll comes to the rescue. The Firefox extension lets you download all the files with a certain extension from the current page, so it's a good way to download all the images from the previous listing.


There's also a way to get all the posts in an XML feed. This is a better format if you intend to import it in a database.
http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?max-results=1000

The number of posts can be easily obtained from the dashboard.



You can also backup the comments:
http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default?max-results=1000

Save the whole page and then archive it for later use.
