If files to be modified get archived into org-mode's revision control system, the blog tag and associated done tag could be searched for within the save process and an org database could build with file name and then tripplets of date stamp, line number for blog tag, line number for done tag and each tripplet would hold another blog entry in that unique file which is the first field in the data base. So you want to find a blog entry? Search the org-generated data base for a date stamp and you come up with the file and the range of line numbers holding that blog entry. Search one file and go to specific location in second file. That if it's done or gets done will keep file searching to a nice minimum permanently.
