   I'd like to direct search engine results to my specific post pages that the search found, not always to the homepage of my blog as it is now. How is this achieved?

   Only showing excerpts or having fewer posts on your home page can really help.

   I agree with the above tips. Also try using ALLINONE SEO pack and turn on 'canonical' this tells Google that the post pages are the original content and not the home page. Finally try these SEO tips:

   Frequent but minor updates to your posts (e.g. reword a sentence, change the alt text on an image)

   Build links to your posts (e.g. forums, content syndication)

   Grab the sitemaps plugin and upload a sitemap to Google so it can be notified of new posts.

   So, using SEO Ultimate, I enabled Canonicalizer and chose Generate <link rel="canonical" /> tags.

   Will this work for existing posts?

   Yes, SEO Ultimate's Canonicalizer will work for existing posts.

   I installed 'All-in-one SEO pack'. Default Canonical URLs (whatever that means) was already turned on. I also installed the 'XML Sitemap generator'
   Now the links generated by Google Saerch lead directly to the Single Posts, as I wanted. I gave Google some time for indexing of course (e.g. one day?)
