  Yes it is most likely due to the high number of tags and categories you have on some of your posts. You should only use a maximum of 15 (in total) of categories and tags (so 3 categories, and 12 tags or less), otherwise the posts will start to be missing from the reader.

  My posts have always had less than 12 combined tags and categories yet they never appear in the reader.

  You have one category called Average in Suburbia News. Staff have in the past elimiated from the tag pages anyone trying to “own” one particular tag. That could well be your problem. Delete it.

  I have deleted it. That category was a new one so would not have been the cause of previous posts not showing up in the reader. Does the amount of categories I have on my site count against me even if I don’t use them all for each post?
