  The same Recommended blogs are shown in Health & Wellness for what seems like a long time, unlike Fresh Pressed. Are all Recommended blogs set for a certain amount of time? Hope this is more or less clear, and thank you so much for solving the mystery!

  Also, there are less than 8 blogs shown as indicated in the title bar. I just see: “Brotherly Love”, “The Flexi Foodie”,” Fit, Feminist & Almost Fifty”, “Someone Fat Happened” and “Mark, MD, MPH”.

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

  When Staff have new blogs to recommend they will appear but until that happens you have what you see. You can, of course, do your own searching for blogs with similar content.

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

  Example search string
  Queen Victoria site:wordpress.com

  Awesome answer! I promise this is it for the day! Despite starting my blog in 2008, I only started to check out Fresh Pressed a couple months ago when a friend got Fresh Pressed. I was amazed to see her follower count go from 76 to 600 within a few days!!!! (she wrote about the terrorism in Sydney)

  Then I actually noticed Recommended Blogs (right in front of my face, ha ha!) and I looked them over. I was used to the constantly changing line-up for FP, so in comparison the Recommended Blogs’ pace (for only the Health and Wellness section) seemed set in stone.

  Thanks again for taking time to write a complete response with all the great search options. The laundry won’t be getting done anytime soon! ;)
