Sounds like the Topics Search feature is a bonus to those hosting on WordPress.com only. Good to know.

Maybe I'll revive my recently abandoned blog only to have access to this feature then... got to think about it for a bit.

Thanks for taking the time to answer, timethief.

1) Is it possible to feed a self-hosted's blog posts into the WordPress.com Topics Search? If yes, how? What would I need to do to enable it?

No. WordPress.org installs are not part of the WordPress.com community. In essense, they are stand alone islands.

2) What other common methods of publicizing one's blog are there?

There is no parallel to what we have here. See http://wordpress.org/support/

Yes, I know that my blog is now moved out of the WordPress.com hosting environment (though I still have the one hosted here, PaintingsByMelinda.wordpress.com, only in dormant mode).

However, since I am asking about a feature specific to WordPress.com (Topics Search) I thought I can get some answers in these forums.

I'd certainly appreciate some human written replies, for sure... Otherwise, it's like talking to myself in the church or something :-)...

A few months ago I've started my first blog on WordPress.com and was pleasantly surprised to see that my posts gathered some interest "out of the blue." And by that, I mean people that I have never knew or had any contact with were finding my posts and commented or marked as "Like" some of them. After a bit of investigation I believe the source of that attention was the Topics Search facility exposed by the WordPress.com interface. I started using it, too, and found quite a few interesting posts/blogs that way. I also checked and confirmed that my posts were indeed showing there.

Recently I moved my blog to a self-hosting environment. And now the Topics Search feature on WordPress.com is not featuring my posts any longer, thus I lost some potential visibility. :-(

So I have a few questions to those people more versed in blogging and everything WordPress:

1) Is it possible to feed a self-hosted's blog posts into the WordPress.com Topics Search? If yes, how? What would I need to do to enable it?

2) What other common methods of publicizing one's blog are there?

I've looked into Jetpack's Publicize widget, and enabled it, but I really have no clue what it does and how to check its effect. Anyway, are there any other plug-ins that could be used for pushing the posts into some aggregators? Or anything else that helps with publicizing one's posts?

I'd really appreciate some answers / discussion on this subject.

Thanks in advace,
--- M.

I click on publish, it appears to be working and then stops. The post does not publish and the status remains 'draft.' The response I received earlier was way to technical for me. I've been at it almost a week! Soon I'll have to move my blog to another hosting site.

Until the new reader showed up, my posts tagged with "photography, pictures, photos" religiously appeared on the topics. Now...nothing. I dropped the number of tags to five, thinking maybe I had quietly been banned for using eight or nine tags. Still nothing.

I've done some research in the forums lately on the new reader not displaying tagged posts. According to the FAQs and this thread, it shouldn't be anywhere close to an issue.

So, what am I doing wrong?
