Google is your friend

I get “I couldn’t find this story” or “I couldn’t find this picture on your blog” at least ten times a week.

I explain to these people that there is a search box in the right hand column of the blog and if they type in the subject matter in the search box 99% of the time it will bring up the results that the person is looking for.

For some strange reason people say they tried that but it didn’t work so Ill try it and immediately the results show up just as I thought they would.

Then there is Google. You can always try to do a google search for the results. I am fucking astounded at the sheer number of people who in this day and age don’t know how to perform a google search for something they are looking for.

It’s amazing to me it really is but the fact is that there is a huge section of the population who cannot figure out how to direct their browser to google and type in keywords related to the search they would like to perform into that search box to find the results they desire.

I want our readers to find what they are looking for. I want our readers to become better at this thing called the internet. I realize that most of you already understand how to perform a simple web search but I wonder how many of you know how many folks still to this day just don’t get it.

Again, there is a search box in the right hand column of GMG. If you are looking for a video of my sister Felicia’s
Mudiga Steak video for example-

First locate the search box in the right hand column of GMG

Second, type in Felicia Mudiga Steak in the search box

Third click enter

Viola! Results! It’s not magic I swear!
