  I have dozens of posts tagged with the “Maine” category:

  http://wordpress.com/tag/maine/5/

  But none show up. Anyone know why?

  Here’s one of my blogs:

  http://lancedutson.wordpress.com

  and another:

  http://outsider22.wordpress.com

  Thanks.

  Check the combined total of tags and categories on the posts. It should be 12 or less or the post may very well be blocked from the tags pages.

  By the way, outsider22 doesn’t seem to be an active blog since it is going to let me sign up for the name.

  For reference, see Mark’s (staff) response in this thread: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=21092&replies=17

  There is another reference by Mark, but I cannot find it at the moment.

  As I understand it, some were really abusing tags and assigning up to 100 (sometimes the same 100 to every post regardless of subject) to all of their posts (gaming the system) so it is now limited.

  I will see if I can find Mark’s other comment that has more detail in it. I haven’t found it yet.

  No problem with the link.

  You’re welcome and happy blogging.

  Is WordPress.com DOWN today? I was already logged into this account, but I can’t seem to navigate to a new forum post.

  And I can’t log into WordPress.com to log into my other account.

  I get “page cannot be displayed”

  And when I Google, Google brings up my categories, but nothing happens when I click on them.

  I’m already a bit paranoid about living in Maine and telling the truth about things that go on here…

  Should I panic???

  Thanks.

  WordPress.com WAS a bit down. You are worried about telling the truth in Maine? I should hook you up with some of the Saudi Arabian and Chinese bloggers at WordPress.
