Search Field
-
I have a site that uses youtube-uploaded videos. How can I add keywords to my blog so that when one searches (from the blog) the appropriate videos (associated with the keywords) show up?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
It isn’t possible to add SEO meta tags and keywords to your blog at WordPress.com. However, they’re not really necessary. WordPress.com handles SEO optimization for you. Beyond the normal optimizations like your sitemap, which you can view here:

We also have a Global Tagging (Topics) system that search engines love and we ping out to all the major engines every time you update your blog.

I’m not sure this answers my question. I want users to be able to search the blog itself.

Ah! I apologize for misunderstanding your question. You can place a search field in your sidebar as described here:

When readers enter search terms in that box, the search will surface posts that include those keywords in either the title or the post content. Can you give that a try?

Thank you. I have a search field but wondered where to put the keywords, or do they have to be somewhere on the post content?

The Search widget will return results from the titles and the bodies of your posts and pages, and from media titles, alt text, file names, and captions. It will not return results from widgets, comments, categories, or tags. If you drop the keywords either into the post or into the title of the post/page, it should pop up!
