Creating a site specific Search box in a Write.Freely blog - possible, with DuckDuckGo

Please see my post at the Write.as Discourse forum for details -- I managed to create a custom search box for my Write.freely blog using DDG.

Cannot be done with Google's Custom Search as it requires JavaScript -- disabled on WF for security reasons.

BUT DDG can do, and it uses an iFrame. Tested and working.

Creating a site specific Search box in a Write.Freely blog - possible, with DuckDuckGo

Hello! I found out a way to create a Site specific search which can be used in our Write.freely blogs. (had posted a topic here a month ago, about using Google’s Custom Search Engine – which cannot work for us as it requires JavaScript, not supported in standard WF instances). DuckDuckGo has this - and it is all inside an iFrame block, which does work from a normal WF page. I have tested it and it’s even better than the Google one as we are not logging into their voracious indexing of everyone...

** On MarkDown Learning, Tutorial, and Editors **

@joaopinheiro And I came back, on a quiet moment to read your new blog page. Very nice - I really enjoyed it, and think it can be useful to other people as well.

Same as you, I first learned about MarkDown upon getting started with blogging - using the Write.Freely software, which is the free open source version of the Write.as blog.

This is just the Beginning of today's Blog post...

MarkDown Interactive Tutorial - in English too!

🇬🇧 MarkDown language is a simplified form of creating a variety of text styles. Bold, Italicized, Underline, Header (text) sizes, all in much shorter and easier commands than classic HTML Markup language.

Note the name, a play on the HTML variant.

The Interactive MarkDown tutorial is also available in ENGLISH for those who are more comfortable in that language.

An Excellent article at The Atlantic, which I find myself frequently referring friends to.

Might be useful for someone here possibly? We are all affected by this.

* Guia de Usuarios en Español para Write.freely *

Ange hizo una guía agradable e ilustrada para los nuevos usuarios de los blogs Write.freely, pero todo está en francés.

El objetivo es ayudar a las personas interesadas en usar la instancia write.freely en TeDomum.net, que ha sido el hogar de mi blog. Esta mañana me tomé un tiempo y traduje su guía al Español.

Ahora la página está en mi blog: https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/guia-de-usuarios-en-espanol-para-write-freely

* Write.freely blog - a guide for new users *

@angedestenebres made a nice and illustrated guide for new users of Write.freely blogs, but it's all in French.

Goal is to help people interested in using the write.freely instance at TeDomum.net — which has been my blog's home. This morning I took some time and translated her guide to English.

Now the page is on my blog: https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/write-freely-wiki-documentation

Just finished the Blog post for today.

I made a quick draft at the Discourse Forum, linked in the previous post.

That was most of the writing, and I made new screenshots in dual sizes for the blog; 640 p wide for normal, and a click on version at 1200 p wide.

It's quite pretty, I think, and a tribute to a dedicated fellow Fediverse enthusiast, who puts many hours and currency every month to keep his instance online.

Attached: 1 image ## Why the World can be a Better Place with MarkDown ? ...just see my fresh new post. At the Discourse Forum for now, but it's practically ready for a [Write.Freely blog post](https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/). Mastodon **cannot even come close to displaying content that well**, sadly.

[Forum thread At Discourse Forum @ Qoto.org](https://discourse.qoto.org/t/superb-themes-for-glitchsocial-instance-created-at-kafuka-me/281) Thank you to [Tom](@[email protected]) for all his work at his instance -- Recommended by this #FediReporter * *This version Brought to You by the [Glitch-Social instance I now call home](https://muensterland.social/) for all my Blog publishing*. * *This post composed via [the wonderful **Pinafore client**](https://nolanlawson.com/2019/06/02/one-year-of-pinafore/)*, which allows me to be at any of my instances with ease and comfort. Kudos to **Nolan Lawson**! #GlitchSocial #Better #UI #UX #Fediverse #Pinafore rules.
