Another experiment

As a follow up to a class I co-taught for science teachers, I created a Google Custom Search Engine as an experiment. It's very easy to do. Get a Google account, then add the web sites you want to search. You get to try out a search, then when you finish you get the code for adding the search engine to your blog or web site.

My custom search engine is called Best Music Sites (though I just picked some at random, really). You might ask what that has to do with birds? Well my first practice search was "Decemberists" and the first thing that popped up was a review of their newest cd, The Crane Wife. Ha ha!
