  Hi there,

  Tags that you add to your posts will make them more findable in places such as the WordPress.com Reader and enable visitors to sort posts on your site by topic. Is that what you’re trying to achieve through hashtags? If so, you will need to add keywords as tags rather than inserting them manually at the end of your posts.

  Let me know if that helps to answer your question or if you were aiming for something slightly different.

  Hi there,

  WordPress.com does not support hashtags the way that Facebook and Twitter does. We have our own system of categories and tags that people can use to find your posts in the Reader, but there is no way to add words that are automatically hyperlinked in your posts. WordPress.com does not do that. The link @timethief gave you in the other thread linked above also explains this.

  Search engines like Google don’t index your post based on the tags you add to it. They index your posts based on the post content.
