Kyle Eslick via Hack WordPress on Wed, 03 Dec. 2008
Over the holiday weekend I decided to spend some time cleaning up a few of my websites and while doing this, I ended up installing Google’s Custom Search Engine on a couple of my WordPress blogs (as of this post I haven’t done this on WP Hacks yet, but will probably end up doing so here as well).
