Parts of this were fun, some parts were frustrating. Setting up my own NZSearch function was actually fairly easy until I got to the 'add host URL' bit. What does this mean and how is one supposed to know how to do it? I tried and tried and in the end couldn't. It kept telling me my URL contained illegal characters. So I abandoned this in favour of something more productive.
Searchbots looks interesting but my tags and inquiry was quite arcane and when it asked me to select a colour for "mood" I thought "hmmn..Okay!" I have yet to see what the hungry little bot turns up for my quest. Stumbleupon is lots of fun but it seemed to take ages to recognise my log-in user name. For a long time it wouldn't recognise me so I used the "forgot your password?" help function. When I checked the email it sent back giving me my password it turned out to be the very password I was using and when I then went to log-in using it again...hey presto! Grr!
Apart from this hiccup, I like the site for a bit of fun and it has already satisfied my curiosity by finding something useful to me. Moving from the LAMS page to the CCLearn Blog has as usual been infuriating.
