How to Find a Blog by a Certain Person
By Francesca Ayala
These days just about everyone has a blog. There are several websites that host content for free and allow users to self-publish without having to learn HTML code and pay for domain servers. Since the blogosphere is a public platform, searching for a specific person's blog is incredibly fast and easy.
Step 1
Open up your web browser and type in the URL of a person's blog if you know it; this should automatically take you to the blog.
Step 2
Type in the person's name and "+ blog" in Google's search engine. Click "Search." If the person uses Blogger, then her blog address will show up in the search results since the site is owned by Google.
Step 3
Use a blog search engine to locate a person's blog if you cannot find it with Google. A popular blog search engine is Technorati.com. Many bloggers register information with this site to promote their blogs. To use Technorati, type the URL in your browser and use the site's search box to locate a person's blog. You can type in their name or a specific topic to narrow down your search.
