How do you find blogs on a particular topic?
-
I want people to be able to find my blog by looking up blogs on the topic I am blogging about. How do they do that? I went to the WordPress home page and looked for a menu item that lets you search for a blog with a tag I’ve used, and didn’t find one. That seems like a no-brainer for a website that is intended to allow people to search for writing that interests them. Did I miss something?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can find others writing about the same things as you:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/global-tags/Here are a few examples:
http://en.wordpress.com/tag/automotive-technology/
http://en.wordpress.com/tag/car-culture/
http://en.wordpress.com/tag/green-transportation/ -
Or just use Google. It works better in my opinion. Put this in the search box, assuming you’re looking for Puppies. It’ll pull up all WP.com blogs about puppies.
Puppies site:wordpress.com

I tried Clobal tags and there was no “Cars” or “Automotive” tag.
I appreciate those examples, but how is someone looking for what I blog supposed to know them if they aren’t on the Global Tags list?
There ought to be a brouser wondow where you can type in a tag and have a menu pop up that gave you options about how you want to browse – by popularity, chronologically, or by subcategory (Like Cars,Ferrari or Automotive, Events).The Google idea looks promising.
Thanks folks. I appreciate your input.
