What's a good way to find recent blog posts about a given topic?

Let's say I want to find blog posts posted in the past week or so about "key west". These posts could be on a personal blog, travel blog, etc.

Google News is mostly news sites (not blogs) and Google blog search doesn't work any more. What other good options are there?

So far Open site Explorer Just Discovered is the best option I've found, but there is a lot of other stuff mixed in with a few blog posts.

Best option in my opinion is to combine "Fresh web explorer" from Moz and Google Alerts.

You can receive daily updates about any keyword.

I would use the following tools;

• Google.  I got a great list by typing 'key west blog' into Google and then clicking 'Search Tools' and then 'Past Week'.  The search results tell you how long ago the results were posted.

• Google Alerts.  Set this for the key word to be notified of new content being posted in (almost!) real time.

You could also use BuzzSumo.com which would also show which posts got shared the most and who by
