Hi,
Can anyone let me know if it's possible to add a glossary to a page? I.e. a glossary that will allow someone add a word into a search field and then display the answer, once found in a glossary on the blog.
I have all the words/expressions and their definitions that I want to make available to readers, I just don't know if a) it's possible and b) how to implement it.
Many thanks,
No More Spanglish.
The blog I need help with is nomorespanglish.wordpress.com.
Yes. But you have to do it by hand. There is no automatic function that will do this.
Ok, thanks. Can you give me an idea about how I might start doing this raincoaster?
Choose which words you want to define, and create a static page called Glossary. In that page, write the word and definition. Then a search of your blog will be able to find it. Do it in alphabetical order, so people can navigate it.
How will they search the blog? Is there a widget?
All WordPress blogs have search widgets. Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Search Widget

The WordPress.com search engine indexes post, pages, and comments content (body text). Unless entered as text in those contents, blog name, post titles, and post/comment author names are not indexed.
Thank you very very much!
You're welcome. :)
