Is there some way to search for blogs from or about a specific region?

  I’m trying to find blogs from a number of communities in my area.

  I’m not sure how well this will work, but try typing the name of the community at http://search.wordpress.com.

  Thanks. That’s what I’ve been doing, but it’s not terribly effective.

  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. http://en.support.wordpress.com/wordpresscom-search/

  For Topics (Tags page) searches see http://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/ This is the syntax http://en/wordpress.com/tags/canada
  See here http://wordpress.com/#!/read/topics/

  For Google searches use this format and replace “keyword” with whatever word you wish:
  keyword site:wordpress.com/

  Example search string
  Queen Victoria site:wordpress.com
