Or is that gadget wijit? Anyway, there’s an official one now, so I turned off the old, experimental one.

Get the new one here: add to google

Lijit Wijit Gadget

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

A few weeks ago I quit using My Yahoo! and began using Google Personalized Home instead. Call me old school; I still like that kind of portal page.

Google Home is just a collection of “Gadgets”, and it turns out it’s pretty easy to write one. So I converted the Lijit Wijit into a Gadget; the Lijit Wijit Gadget.

So if you use Google Home and want to add MrBalky search to your page, just add to google home.

It’s really just a test. Look for a better Lijit Wijit Gadget, coming soon from your good friends at Lijit Networks.

Add lijit personal search to WordPress

Monday, December 18th, 2006

Here’s how I did it, anyway:

  1. Go to your lijit page (mine is http://www.lijit.com/users/MrBalky)
  2. Click “Customize your search” to enter your Google account info
  3. Back on your lijit page, click “Get this wijit” in the search box
  4. Copy the javascript wijit code.
  5. Head to your WordPress admin pages -> Presentation -> Theme Editor.
  6. Click “searchform.php” on the lower-right.
  7. Add the wijit code. (Since there’s nothing to search on this blog, I just removed the existing search code.)
  8. Click “update file>>”, and you’re done.

It’s a snap.
