  Greetings! I’ve been blogging for 5 years on WordPress. A few days ago it was marked mature. How do I find out what post(s) resulted in this change, so that I can remove it (them)? Thanks in advance.

  Hi there,

  Your blog sxchristopher.wordpress.com isn’t marked mature. Are you having trouble with that blog or is there a different blog you’re concerned about?

  Thank you so much for your quick response! I noticed the following in the last three days and assumed it was the content rating. Traffic dropped radically in the last few days, and I am no longer getting referrals from WordPress reader. None of my posts show up when I search on the basis of tags. My user name (sxchristopher) isn't hyperlinked to my blog when I comment on others posts. Could there be another reason why this is happening?

  I do have a few other blogs, but with the exception of one on dispossession (leftofnathan.wordpress.com

  I checked one of your more recent tags, and I found two of your posts there:

  https://wordpress.com/tag/brothers-fathers-friends-and-lovers/

  Part of the issue may be a combination of what tags people are searching for and how many other blogs are using those tags. With more popular tags, it’s possible that newer posts using the same tag on other blogs are getting more attention. In that case, publishing a new post with that tag should attract new visitors. :)

  If there’s a particular post and tag that you’re not seeing in the Reader, let me know and I can search for that specific combination.

  My user name (sxchristopher) isn’t hyperlinked to my blog when I comment on others posts.

  You can change that in your account settings. Be sure to add a link to your blog in the “Web Address” section, and on future comments your named will be linked to that address.

  Thanks for the clarifications! I followed your suggestion and queried a tag from a more recent post of mine and indeed the post was returned in the results (I had been looking up much older tags), and with the change in settings you suggested, I now see my user name. (I may have forgotten to do this when I changed my template recently).

  All fixed and explained. Thank you again for your help.
