Two things: for 

M-x blah

to cause some action,

* something must define a _function_ called 'blah'. Just because there
  is a file named 'blah.el<|c>' doesn't mean there is a function
  'blah'.

* the function 'blah' must have been declared interactive, i.e. with

  (interactive) ; can have arguments

  in its defun.

There may be others.
