Categories work as keywords for search engines.

Before in the post editor page I had the "Field modifier..."
This is actually something on Worpress.ORG 2.5 to enter to do things like enter keywords (for search engines)

its gone now. Apparently it wasnt supposed to be there.
(I thought this was a new feature of the wordpress.com dashboard--- Apparently it shouldnt have been there

Try changing your language to something else, then changing it back. There's a bug that sometimes fixes, a bug that prevents you from showing on the global pages and slaughters your SEO.

Pennsylvania Echoes

http://www.google.com/search?q=pennsylvania+echoes&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

The issue is that I used to get many more hits before I moved to wordpress.com from that search.

I of course expect my stats to drop when moving, and the search to drop

But I guess I have to learn to Tag better with wordpress

A number of people, including me, have seen it reference specific posts but link only to blog.wordpress.com or similar overarching URL. They are obviously changing things, but it's unlike them to debut something so obviously borked. Hopefully things will come back soon.

dlager, if that was the most recently updated thing on your blog, that alone might be why it's on top.

"Sadly Sonific has shut down leaving Pennsylvania Echoes without music... Hope this problem get worked out soon. Spam Blocked. 7 spam comments. blocked by ...

THis is is simple text in a widget when Sonific went off line.
