  I am new to word press and haven’t the faintest idea what I’m doing, lol.

  Here are my concerns:
  1. If I want to search out specific subject/genre of other word press bloggers, how do I do that? I can’t seem to find a search function other than in the help section.

  2. Where do I find a link to the help section? I had to google it because I couldn’t find one on the site.

  3. One of my entries shows I have a comment, but I cannot find it, even when I click on the link that says ‘one comment.’

  Thank you in advance for all of your help.

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

  re: search and support links

  All support docs are at http://support.wordpress.com and that link is found all over the WordPress.com site, as well as on the bottom of your Admin page, and in the footer links on this page.

  Search for wordpress.com search http://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=wordpress.com+search

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

  Tag searches by subject follow this format:
  http://wordpress.com/tag/meditation/

  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 or keyword phrase you wish:
  keyword site:wordpress.com/

  Example search string
  Queen Victoria site:wordpress.com
  results > http://tinyurl.com/csaobsx

  Thank you for your quick reply. I am not seeing any of the support links, except for the link to the forums I found on google. It has an extra tool bar across the top whereas when I just open up wordpress.com it only has the toolbar that offers links to my sites, reader, new post, my account & manage notifications. Could my browsers (firefox & safari) somehow be blocking things?

  Also there is no search box other than the search the help section that showed up in the google link for forums & wordpress help. This is so odd. I followed the link you provided and have bookmarked it for future use.

  I see that there don’t appear to be any comments under my stats, but when i look at my site, it does show there is a comment at the end of the post.
  I’ve copied what appears at then end of the Welcome to Mindful Moments post.
  “Posted in Meditation, Mindfulness | Tagged meditation, mindful, mindfulness | 1 Comment | Edit”
  When I click on the ‘1 comment’ it takes me to a leave a reply box and there is no comment.

  I also noticed is that I have two followers (one from two days ago & one yesterday), yet my stats didn’t show that I had any visitors or views until just a few minutes ago.

  Thank you again for all of your help and all of the links.
