Set Result Page URL in New Google CSE UI

Like other Google services, Google CSE (Custom Search Engine) had a good simple look. I like the new Google Style- It's simple, intuitive, and easy to use.

However, sometimes it makes me stupid.

Few days ago, I created a new custom search engine and wanted to show search results on separate page. (i.e. two pages look and feel). No problem. Easier than old version. By the way, I couldn't find the input box or component to set the results URL. In old version, it located in same page on look and feel setting page.

I looked hard every menu items, searched many times, and read many articles. But, nothing. I tried to get back to old version to add the search result URL.

Google make a mistake? Almost cases, it's impossible. Then, they hide it?

Stupid!

I am, not Google.

If you are stupid(!) too, set the your URL after clicking Save and Get Code button. You can see 'Search Result Details Button' on the appeared page. See next figure. You can set the result page and query parameter name.


I think it's somehow confusing, but it's better way to manage my search engine.

Google's Favorite Colors By Hex Codes (With New Google Logo)

Google keeps its color scheme cross their products. Of course, each uses different colors but it keeps the main philosophy. I heard that the test period for new Google logo was more than one year. It may the reason that the colors are comfortable to look. Sometimes, I copy the colors for designing my blogs and web sites. Copyright? oh..

Color Conversion: RGB to HEX , HEX to RGB

Color conversion between RGB and Hex is needed sometimes even though HTML and CSS accepts both RGB and HEX codes for set color scheme of HTML elements. The conversion algorithm is simple. Then numbers in RGB format is decimal number and one in HEX code is hexadecimal number. For example, rgb(50, 100, 250) is same in HEX #3264FA: 50-32 | 100-64 | 250-FA.

Why Blogger Mobile Template Not Work?

Google Blogger shows blog pages with mobile CSS on mobile devices unless you change it disabled. You can see next figure by clicking mobile setting button on Template page. Since I want to change CSS and I remember there are some CSS elements starting with '.mobile', I open the template editor and edit as I want. And open my blog in my smart phone. Nothing changed.
