Also, I'm thinking of moving the Search component into the header. When I look for it from the header look and feel, and after I've moved Search tothe inactive list, I don't see it as a choice. Is that because Search is unavailable for the header?

Yes, the Search component is unavailable for the Header area of your blog. It's really only limited to the sidebars for style reasons, the default 'look' to the Search box doesn't look right when used in the Header area.
But you can always create a custom component which contains the HTML code for a Search box and use that in the Header of your blog. Here is some code to start with, feel free to experiment with it and modify it as you see fit:
Code: | <div class="componentText">
<form method=get action="/blog">
<nobr><span class="componentHomeLink" style="color: black;">Search: </span>
<input type=hidden name=cmd value="search">
<input type=text name=keywords value="" size=20>
<input type="submit" class="buttonWhite" value="Go">
</nobr></form>
</div> |

Connected, your header is black. So you are going to want to change style="color: black;" in your component to style="color: white;". Otherwise nobody can see the word "search" next to the search box, and therefore there is no clear indication of what the box is actually for. _________________ -- Abacquer, A.K.A. Chuck Seggelin |
