This will be the eighth post today, possibly a record. Not that I was trying… there were just too many interesting bloggable items, and for once there was enough time to post them all.
In addition, and the purpose of this post, I did some work on the back end of the blog:
- Updated to the latest version of WordPress
- Installed a decent blog statistics program
- Upgraded to a more powerful search tool
The last is something that might directly benefit you, the reader. The small search box is now more than simply a keyword search tool. You can:
- Search using wildcards (i.e. librar* to find library, librarian, libraries, etc.)
- Search for phrases (i.e. “web browser”)
- Use Required and Excluded terms in your search (+support -staff to get posts with the word “support” but not the word “staff”)
As this blog approaches its 500th post, finding information in past entries becomes more important, as well as more challenging. Tags are decent for rough groupings, but a good search tool becomes critical. Hopefully this upgrade makes LibrarySupportStaff.org a bit more useful.
