Fail

So, I think when I tried to make this blog private, I f*cked up the whole thing. Because now I can't search within it, and the entire point of the blog was so that I could keep track of what I've read. For example, I don't know what number in a series of mysteries I've read up to, and I wanted to search the author's name and see which one was the last I commented on, but nothing's coming up. And I KNOW I've written about other books in the series, but nada on the author or main character - and the author's name should be tagged, too, but I can't figure out how to search the tags.

I may need another page, where I just list the title and date of reading (approximate), and then I can use that to go back and locate fuller descriptions/reactions (if they exist)?

This is such b.s.

NB - right after I (huffily) wrote all the preceding, I found a spot in the inner mechanics of the blog where I can search the labels...so, helpful (found the entry in [this particular] question), but still not perfect - esp. if I remember the title but not the author, since I only use authors and themes as labels. But I'm not sure the dated list idea really works, either, since I'd need to scroll down a whole long list looking for the title which sounds annoying.
