  I recently posted a blog called “10 months; 100 followers…” which has not displayed in the Reader using the search tags I included. I double-checked to be sure I had fewer than 15 tags (including the category – which is uncategorized). I did include a link in my blog to another blog I started at HubPages. Could this be the reason it isn’t coming up? Is this somehow against the WordPress rules? I couldn’t see why it would be; I think people link between and among many of the sites they visit and write under. I’d appreciate your response/help. I was trying to thank my followers and celebrate this special milestone. Thanks! – Michelle

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello again,

  So I just posted another post, and it’s not coming up in the Reader either: http://lunachik4.wordpress.com/2014/04/15/just-dignity/

  I have checked my tags (13) and categories (1).

  This is so odd. I’ve never had any trouble before. Just ironic, after hitting 100 followers, that my posts have somehow become ‘blocked.’

  Help please! Thanks,

  Michelle

  I’ve just updated some things on our end and that should resolve this issue on your next post. Please let me know if your posts do not appear in the Reader with the next post you publish.

  Thanks, jackiedana. Is there a way to go back and link those older posts? Or should I delete them and try reposting them?

  Once the blog post is live, it won’t get captured by the Reader after the fact. If you unpublish and republish old posts, they will be so old no one will likely see them.

  I’d personally recommend just moving forward from here and not worry about past posts, which are still visible to anyone who visits your site. If you really want them to appear in the Reader now, though, you should repost them as entirely new posts and delete the old ones so you don’t get dinged by Google for duplicate content.
