   Been using WP since 2006, looks like Google Blog search stopped picking up my new posts on 11/30. I upgraded to 2.7 after that, I've been playing with different comments plug-ins but that's the only change I can remember since November. Any thoughts ?

   you didnt even provide a url to the blog, friend. what do you want to hear? your question is like .. generic, you dont give a url, you dont mention using google web master tools, you dont say whether or not your site is being spidered, you dont say what your meta tags are.

   what thought can anyone provide?

   whooami, thanks for the guidance. More info:
   - http://mvictors.com
   - I'm using cognoblue theme (just released, was previously using theme called ad clerum).
   - I don't know what you mean by master tools, I did install the google sitemap plugin last week as that resolved this problem with another forum poster, it did not solve my issue.
   - My site seems to be very well spidered, it has since 2006. My new posts are being quickly picked up by Google Web search as usual, but Blog search has stopped for about a month. I just checked, my post yesterday is listed in google web results.
   - Meta tags? I have some related to my site (michigan, football, etc.,) then occasionally add post specific tags.

   Whooami - Thanks for indulging me here. I've been using WordPress a long time but most of my issues have been with plug-ins/widgets or with my host provider. I haven't run into too many issues that require me to post on this board. Appreciate your guidance.

   your not using any meta tags.

   I don't know what you mean by master tools

   Google Web master Tools >> http://www.google.com/webmasters/

   That site is in need of some SEO work. you have a sitemap, login to google, and check to see if googlebot is having trouble.

   whooami-
   OK, I added this site in google tools. Initial diagnostics show no errors - homepage crawl is fine, index status is ok, all web crawl error categories show 0.

   I uploaded my sitemap, it is pending.

   Sitemap is up, found 945 pages and that sounds about right.

   I requested the Google tools check the rss feeds, found several errors on the rss2 feed after running it a couple times:

   I went to the Google webmasters forum and resolved this item. Thread can be found here for anyone having this issue:
