The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

WordPress doesn’t use hashtags the same way Twitter and Facebook do, but tags have some of the same functionality. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/tags/

Honestly, don’t do it. NOTHING looks stupider than someone earnestly using hashtags where they don’t belong, where they don’t work. And they don’t work here.
The only place a hashtag is useful on a WP.com blog (other than for #comic #effect) is in the personalization of the Tweet sharing settings. I have one blog set up to tweet that it’s from @#theshebeenclub and while there is no twitter account called @#theshebeenclub it does show up on twitter as a working hashtag, so I can track it. Other than that, hashtags do not work here. It would be like putting a hashtag in a hand-written letter.
