  Why aren’t my blog posts coming up in the reader after I have posted them? I have set a number of tags and they still dont come up even though they used to!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Below is the block of categories and tags you assigned this post http://sosophisticatedbeauty.wordpress.com/2014/04/03/essentials-kit/:
  This entry was posted on April 3, 2014, in Uncategorized and tagged Avon, Barbara Daly, Beauty, Bourjois, Eyeshadow, Highlighter, Juicy Tube, Lancome, Lipgloss, Lipstick, Makeup, Mary Kay, Milla Jovovich, No7, Powder, Resident Evil, Rimmel, Urban Decay.

  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.

  Also note that “uncategorized” is the default Category assigned to post that we fail to assign a Category too. You can change it whatever you want such a “Makeup Tips” by following this guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/#setting-the-default-category
