  @hemmingplay your posts are appearing in the Reader for me:

  It could be that you had too many tags + categories on a post, or your posts have been followed by a lot of other posts using the same tags, dropping yours down further than you expected.

  @scrappyness in your case, it looks like I needed to reset a setting on your blog, so now it should start appearing in the Reader with your next post.

  Thanks. I’m not convinced about the tags + category explanation, since I’ve scrolled waaaaaaaaaay down in the reader and… no joy. But I’ll keep an eye on it.

  I didn’t realize that others using the same categories would have that effect. I thought it was just based on chronological order/time published. No?

  If you use tags or categories that are popular, many other people may post within minutes of your own post, pushing yours down so you think it didn’t show up. That’s my best explanation since your posts are in fact showing up in the Reader now.

  I have noticed that the traffic to my site has spiked back to normal levels in the last 12 hours or so.
