Tags and topics
-
I have being using a wide variety of tags, some of them are a bit obscure. For some reason some of my more recent posts don’t seem to show up when I browse in the topics by the tags. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you have assigned a combined total of Categories and Tags that exceeds 15 Categories/Tags to your posts, then 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.
If that’s the case then 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.
