Today, Google revealed one more interactive bar meant to be added on the users' pages, displaying useful information about other related websites. The Blog Bar represents a simple add-on for your site able to show the latest posts published on a certain type of blogs selected by your need. Although it might look too difficult to use, the Blog Bar can be integrated with ease because it is based on the Google AJAX Search API, a simple program that allows you to add interactive utilities on your page.

"The Blog Bar is a Google AJAX Search API application that lets you easily add application and page-controlled blog search results to your web pages or blog. This control, which provides search-driven bars of blog search results, is highly customizable: you can specify the blog bar's orientation, the number of results it displays, the list of search expressions that drive it, etc. You can control which blog results it displays through both APIs, and if you like, through links on your page," it is mentioned in the description of the Blog Bar.

I must recognize the use of the Blog Bar is extremely easy because the company provides a simple but powerful wizard to configure the utility. All you need to do is to click on this link and start to configure your blog bar. The first option requires you to choose between a Blog Strip (vertical orientation) and a Blog Reel (horizontal orientation) as well as a search expression and the title of the blog bar. Then, you must press the Generate Code button and you're ready to go. You can copy the text provided by the script and insert it into the HTML content of your website.
