Personal Development Ideas Community Search

October 24, 2006 by Gleb Reys

Welcome back!

Google has just announced a great new feature which allows anyone to enjoy a fully customized search engine. The main advantage is that it allows you to search many sites instead of one, and you can specifically search through only their pages and not the whole Web. I just cannot resist to such an opportunity, and that’s why I present you our very own Personal Development Search.

I have made many friends in the past half a year of my involvement with personal development, and I would really like you all to join this search page and make it easier for anyone to find your great articles. Our community around Personal Development Ideas grows slowly but surely, and I see this search page as a great opportunity for us all to grow and make this project a more useful resource for all.

So, if you want me to add your website to the Personal Development search, please leave URLs in comments to this post, and I’ll post an update as I make progress adding them to the search. Of course, you’re also more than welcome to email me directly or use the contact form.

At this stage, I don’t want to take my chances by adding your websites to the search myself, and so I would really like you to share your URLs in a comment to this post. After the initial submission period is over (I expect it to be two weeks or so), I will start adding more websites to the search myself.

I’m telling you, I’m really excited about this – something tells me this is going to be a great search page for everyone interested in personal development, motivation, productivity and time management.

Thanks in advance for sharing your links!

Thanks Scott,

Your blog results seem to prevail among all the rest search results so far ;) Well done! :)

Hey Gleb!

Count me in, too. Great idea.

Done! 4 sites are searched so far.

I’m learning the Google search APIs as quickly as I can, so the search page will look even better soon enough.
Steve Olson on October 26th, 2006 1:12 pm

Gleb,
Put me in. This looks like a great tool. I’ll have to learn more about it.

Thanks, Steve.

I’ll be posting a thorough how-to on using customized search engines soon enough, it will be posted on my Perfect Blogger project pages.
Gleb Reys on October 27th, 2006 6:45 pm

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to highlight that the contact form wasn’t working for the past couple of days (how unfortunate!), and so if any of you did try submitting your websites, I never got your emails. Can you please leave comments here instead? I will restore the contact form as soon as I can.

Thanks!
Wendy Piersall :: eMom on October 27th, 2006 7:18 pm

Hey Gleb – can you add eMoms at Home to your search engine? It may look like a work at home parents site on the surface, but most of what I write about is success thinking, productivity and overcoming obstacles. :)

Thanks!

Wendy

Hi Wendy,

Welcome! I’m a regular reader of your blog, so no explanations were needed :) Thanks for a great site! I’m aiming for a father working from home model myself, so hopefully with the help of people like yourself it will someday become a reality!

Your site is added.
Wendy Piersall :: eMom on October 27th, 2006 9:24 pm

ROFL – now THAT was a response I wasn’t expecting – and one that definitely made me smile!!

Glad to have you surprised, Wendy :)

Nneka, your blog is added as well.

I’ll try and improve the whole search page over the weekend, I would like to have a webpage with links to all the participating sites.

Hi Mikhail,

Welcome to our search!

pS: I see you’ve got a new WordPress theme installed? Looks nice!
Gleb Reys on October 31st, 2006 1:06 am

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the link! I was pleasantly surprised to see your comment here, as I immediately recalled the day I read your 14 facts about Chuck Norris for ProBlogger’s community project.

Welcome!
Randy Yniguez on October 31st, 2006 3:42 am

Gleb,
I couldn’t figure out how to “trackback” to let you know I put a quick blurb about the search engine on the MRG site. I put the link in where it says “URL” on the comment form.

Hi Jerry,

Welcome to our community. You seem to be a few steps ahead of me, having a number of projects serving the same purpose.

I am sure your articles will be an inspiration to many, and I\’m happy to have the opportunity to share it all through the search.

Hope to see you around! Nice to meet you too!

I run a large personal development site, Tools for Transformation. We also have a Google custom search engine with a collection of sites and I’d be pleased to both be included in your selection and to include yours site in our searches.

Best regards, Peter

Could you change my site from rdcsoft.com/articles to http://www.shardsofconsciousness.com in the database?

Thanks,
Rick
Gleb Reys on January 4th, 2007 6:57 pm

Hi Rick,

It’s done. I suppose we’ll see your results there as soon as Google indexes your new site for the first time.

Thanks,
