Under stats - then go back as far as you need to

Bill beat me to sharing his recent blog post with the how-to of finding those elusive posts!

I would try doing the search on Google or Yahoo, or if you know when you wrote it look for it in the Archives.

I use a word or two out of the title to pull up previously written blogs. That usually works for me, John.

Just another frustrating aspect of ActiveRain.  A few wise members have offered a few suggestions .

Click on MyBlog which also includes the archives.

John Meussner I've given up searching for anything on this site. You seem to have to go through a lot of irrelevant posts to find the one you are searching.

If you are looking for Your Blogs - look under "My Blog" on the right hand side of the screen, under your picture.  They should all show up there, including Drafts.  If you are looking for Other Blogs, look under "Explore Activerain" - 'Real Estate Blogs', at the bottom of the page.  I hope this helps John Meussner. 

   Search your Tag Cloud

  Tip:  use lots of tags when you write a blog post, so that you can find them later.

I've found the ones I've written very easily John Meussner by looking at my statistics. If I'm looking for one and I knew who wrote it that is pretty easy too by going to their profile and clicking on their blog. If I only remember the topic... forget it. 

I use the tags feature & hope I put it into a category that I can remember.

that should help you.

I  usually don''t

John Meussner I wrote about this a couple of months ago..how to find my posts.

What Liz and Bill Spear said.  I also can search on our site or on Google.  A

There hasn't been much money spent on the site since the last purchase.

I am finding it is harder to find the topics I have written. I use search words to no avail. It used to be more responsive and not sure what has changed.

Good solutions here even if some may be cumbersome!

It's pretty useless and has been for at least 2 years.  Sometimes, it works if you search on google.  there may be an option though if you go to your stats page.

I click on "Traffic Stats" and go back to whatever year and month I need....

The key is to always have the foresight to use ample tags.

I use the Stats area, but still is pretty tough.  I agree, the search bar is somewhat useless.

I never use the site search bar for my own posts, but I do find it useful

It can be tough but it sounds like Bliz has an answer!

John Meussner - well, you have a great link from Liz and Bill Spear.

Liz and Bill Spear got you covered. 

I keep an excel spreadsheet with the date, name of the post and the URL. I search that and then can at least find the date I wrote the post and then search that way. 

Yet it seems that Liz and Bill Spear has a much better way.  

With great difficulty! LOL

I have issues with this as well.

Michael J. Perry nailed this one!

I look in stats and search there .

late to the party here because I see that Liz and Bill Spear already responded with the link to his very recent excellent post on this very topic.

I either search using Google or my status page if it is one that I wrote.
