Source of Inspiration: VSB

When I first read the requirements for the amount of gadgets we needed in addition to the ones we already had I found myself at a loss for what I could use. I just recently added a search bar to the top of my blog page and another blog was the source of inspiration for that part of my design layout. There is a blog called VSB (Very Smart Brothas) that I read as often as I can, that has been my inspiration for this search bar. I know, reading through the blog, the search bar has been very useful and effective for finding things I like to read about or I've heard about. Their search bar is located at the top of the page, where I placed mine as well -- I mean, that only makes sense! When the search icon is clicked on it looks like this.

Now, this blog is clearly way more extensive than mine is so their search bar is far more needed. But, even after this class is over I plan to continue my blog because I've become so attached to it and then my search bar may come in handy for future followers or people who look at my blog. The search bar comes in handy when looking for posts on specific topics when there are a lot of posts, like on VSB I searched the term "black" and the results were crazy. 

1530 posts! This shows how useful the search bar gadget actually is! This inspired me to add one because it give me hope and positive vibes towards the growth of my blog itself!
