My Blog not in the Reader
-
Until this morning in the Reader, the Blogs I post always show. I have posted two today and neither have appeared. I am reassured they are live as I have likes and comments. Has something changed at WP or have my settings un-knowingly been changed. Any suggestions please.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

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 spamdexing AKA tag spamming. And, you ought to be more concerned about your posts not appearing and being well ranked on Google and Bing SERPS (search results pages) than not appearing on 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.

Thanks….I didn’t realise that too many tags would stop a blog appearing in the Reader. As that hasn’t happened before It was not something I was expecting. Thanks for the links.

You’re welcome. After you edit and remove the excess Tags/Categories the posts will display. Best wishes.

Just as a further question to yesterdays mail. I have posted a new page this morning. getting likes so it must be up and running but still not on reader….and yes tags and cats restricted!
