Clicking on the blog author's name will take you to all posts by that author.

Under the title bar, you can find an area called "Categories."  When blogs are posted, they are assigned a category to make it easier for you to read the posts you are most interested in.  Click a category name to read just those posts.  Posts may also be given more specific "tags." You can see the most common tags on the far right of the screen.  Clicking on a tag will take you to a list of posts with that tag.  For example, all posts related to Project Syllabus will be put in the "Project Syllabus" category.  Additionally, all Project Syllabus posts that are about specific syllabi will be "tagged" with "syllabus."  Posts that are about other Project Syllabus news will be tagged with "Project Syllabus news."
