Most Recent Post Not Visible on Other People’s Computer
-
From time to time I run into this problem: My latest post, although showing on my computer, for many hours will show no views, although my total view count continues to rise. I have asked about that here, and it is always seen as no problem–if I’m understanding correctly those who have been so gracious as to respond to my issue.
Today, I have posted twice: On the first post, I have received a comment and am showing some views. My second post shows no views. Hoping to track down the problem, I picked up my husband’s laptop, and it is now setting beside mine. His computer shows neither of today’s posts. The top post showing on his computer is from yesterday.
Does anyone have any ideas about this? Am I doing something wrong? I prefer my posts to be seen by anyone who would click onto my site as soon as that post is published, for I engage in a fair amount of interaction with my readers. Another issue, of course, is if I post of current news, and my post is not seen for 24 hours or so, it appears stale.
I truly will appreciate anyone’s advise.

Did you by any chance set the second post to autopost (ie change the date/timestamp)? That’s all I can think of at the moment.
When I publish I immediately go to Dashboard and see if the post shows up in Most Recently Updated. Like, you have five seconds or so to get to Dashboard. But if it’s there, click on it. I have a superstitious belief that this will draw search engine bots or something, but it can’t hurt. If you never show up there, your blog might have been put into the Mature category.

Thank you, Raincoaster. No, I did not autopost. And I have never had a post not show up. Eventually they do show, and with most posts, they are there immediately.
Now, on my husband’s computer, both my posts from today are visible.
It was interesting to me today–and muddied the water further–that on my first post about MoonPies, I had received one comment, although when checking individual stats for that post, I showed 0 views. Strange.
It’s not a world-shattering problem, I know. Can you answer this, please? If someone clicks on my blog–not for a certain article–but for my blog in general–if things are working correctly–should they not see my latest post?
Thanks again.

Yes, Raincoaster, it is now visible on my husband’s computer also.
My son just came by and mentioned he had been on my blog this morning, well after I had posted, and he also had only seen the post from yesterday.
Mysterious.
Thanks again.
