RoboSapient.Com dedicated to DasBlog as Tech Site

Thu, 18 May 2006 14:52:56 GMT

OK folks I have decided to refocus this site as a tech only and 99% Dasblog site.

There will be no more family postings here, I have created a new family blog site at TomWatts.com to support family blogging.

The TomWatts.Com blog site is also based on the Dasblog engine and the theme is a conversion of the CSS web template “Nautica02.2 Liquid” from Open Web Design (OWD). I think it came out very well!!!

I did duplicate some of the old family posts from Robosapient.com for a foundation for the family blog.

I promise you will find more of the lessons learned from my efforts at dasblog.us posted here with maybe some what better background, and easier to find references. I love the forum for the support it offers, but it is not the platform to pontificate about a particular issue raised there, or resolved there!.

I will also try to read the dasblog tea leaves from my hanging around the dasblog developement team and report what I think is going on from the "user" perspective.

See ya later.

Valid xhtml 1.1 for Google Site Search Code

Thu, 09 Feb 2006 02:05:38 GMT

I spent the better part of the afternoon today trying to get the code for a customer page that would use the generic Google site search to validate to xhtml, not the new adsense, but just plain old search. The code that Google provides is no where near xhtml 1.1 compliant.

Well I finally did customize the code where it works, and validates. I wish somebody had posted this for me!! So here is is for anybody who needs it! The CSS searchbar stuff is not important for function, just layout.

<div id="searchbar">

<h2>Search This Site</h2>

<!-- SiteSearch Google -->

<a href="http://www.google.com/" title="Google"><img
width="75" height="32" title ="Google" src="images/Logo_25wht.gif" alt="Google" /></a><br
/>

<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search">

 <div><input type="hidden" name="domains" value="http://banjara.us"
/>

<input type="text" name="q" size="19" maxlength="255" value="" />

 </div>

 <div>

<input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value="" />Web

<input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value="http://banjara.us"
checked="checked" />Banjara.us

<input type="hidden" name="ie" value="UTF-8" />

<input type="hidden" name="oe" value="UTF-8" />

 </div>

</form>
