Can you help me find my post?

I cannot find my post under any of the category listings I used or topic choices. It never appeared anywhere at all apart from on my blog. Can anyone help please? Post is called A family of strangers. Thank you
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I am missing posts as well. Additionally, I cannot post new ones. Hopefully WP will have an answer soon….

@erinbeth
please do not post into any threads aside from your own thread. You have a WordPress>ORG install hosted by Hostgator and we cannot help you with it here. Return to https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/cant-post-new-entries-or-pages?replies=5#post-1402406 -
P.S. I do hope you understand that WordPress>ORG installs are not a part of the WordPress.COM community. Your posts on that blog will not appear in the WordPress.COM Reader.

These are the combined categories and tags you have assigned to a single post:This entry was posted in family, memories, Parenting and tagged acceptance, blogging, brighter, buddha, caring, choices, family, grandparents, influence, network, online, parenting, parents, real, strangers, time, virtual family, words by the mmmmm family.
All reasons for non-appearance of posts on Topics pages can be found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/#missing-posts
As you have assigned a combined total that exceeds 15 Categories/Tags to your posts, you need to edit and delete. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/ After removal of the excess categories and/or tags note it may take several days for your posts to begin displaying there.
You are inadvertently spamming AKA tag spamming. You ought to be more concerned about Google and Bing than the WordPress.com Topics pages because it’s search engines that send a significant flow of traffic to blogs and they can choose to bury your content where the sun don’t shine for tag spamming.
The rule of thumb is to assign the least, not the most, combined number of only relevant categories and tags that accurately describe the post content.

I am new to all this and it is hard to find the right answers sometimes. I had no idea that I was tag spamming and certainly have no wish to. I will go back and sort it all out. Thank you very much for the advice.

Not to worry. We all begin knowing nothing and learn as we blog. After you remove the excess tags your posts will display in the Topics pages.

I really appreciate your advice. I have just had a look at the link you provided but I cannot watch the videos as I am deaf. I will however read up on all the written advice and hopefully get it all sorted out. Thank you again.
