    Started my blog a few weeks ago, was receiving a number of likes and followers on every blog I posted. For the past 3 or 4 posts, however, I got no activity. I’m worried that I may have been flagged as “mature”. Any idea how I can find this out?

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

    I spotted something else. This is the block of categories abd tags yiou assigned to a single post:
    This entry was posted in

    Acting, Art, Athletes, Authenticity, Boxing, careers, Catholicism, Christianity, Creativity, Film, film makers, Guidance, Happiness, Imagination, Inspiration, money, Motivational, Music, Religion, Self Help, Sports, Uncategorized, Writing

    on July 8, 2013.

    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.

    has not been designated as mature.
    Nor has http://arinoski.wordpress.com/
    If either one were mature, then the link would not appear below the original post, nor would the username ‘arinoski’ show as linked to the blog in these forums.

    Mature Content

    A blog that is marked as Mature is excluded from public areas of the WordPress.com service. This means:

    It is not eligible to be featured in Freshly Pressed on the front page of WordPress.com
    It will not appear in global tag listings
    It will not appear in Top Blogs listings, recent posts, or related posts listings on other blogs
    The blog’s users cannot use that URL as a link in their WordPress.com Forums profile

    OK, thanks to both of you for the clarification. I’m going to consolidate my categories and see if that helps…
