  As far as the global tag pages go there are reasons that posts are missing from those pages > global tags > missing posts

  Also, please note that Freshly Pressed only shows blogs hosted by WordPress.com.
  If your blog is self-hosted, it cannot appear there.

  Good clarification – thanks :)

  @falgunihdesai
  I forgot to ask you to post an active link starting with http:// to the blog in question and just assumed you had a free hosted WordPress.com blog. Please post it now as
  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are separate and different

  Thanks timethief and airodyssey for the reply.

  @timethief
  your assumption was right. I have free hosted blog on WordPress.com.

  My blog url is:

  http://gujaratieasyrecipes.wordpress.com

  To be featured on freshly post, how old the blog should be?

  It has nothing to do with age and all you can do is follow the guide and try and create interesting posts that the editor will like. Do also remember that there are 30 million other sites here (likely 20 million active) so there is a good bit of competition.

  Please read this: 5 Ways to Get Featured on Freshly Pressed

  Here’s how to link your username to your blog in your blog Dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to Account Details. Then scroll down to where it says ‘Website‘ select the URL for your primary wordpress.com blog and then save changes.

  Now every time you sign into the forum we can all click on your username and your blog will be linked to it. And every time you leave a comment on a blog your username can be likewise clicked and your blog can be instantly located.

  It does have SOMETHING to do with age: brand new blogs are excluded. Nobody knows how old a blog has to be: old enough for staff to be sure you’re not JUST in it to get on Freshly Pressed.

  @falgunihdesai, thank you. I can’t wait to get back to the mainland and get all my photographic gear so that I can start to do it in earnest. Right now I’m just using my Leica pocket digital, which is no slouch of course, but I want my large format film camera.
