  When you are the only blogger that uses a tag, WP.com does not create a tag page for that tag. If you use a lot of unique tags, WP.com sometimes excludes your posts from the tag pages altogether. I advise you to stop using unique tags.

  I understand that; I use the keyword-specific tags for other reasons. My latest post has the simplest tags like “Babies” http://wordpress.com/#!/read/topic/babies/ and my post should be the latest one in the feed, since the last one is 2 hours ago.

  This has been going on for a while.

  My apologies, I meant to link http://wordpress.com/#!/read/topic/birth/ since it’s not such a popular tag to show span of times and posts.

  You misunderstand: using unique tags can get your blog removed from ALL tag pages.

  Delete the unique tags. Or rather, since the window of opportunity has passed, just don’t use them going forward.

  Hi laotiancommotion,

  I made a change to your blog settings on our end, and your blog posts should start appearing in the Topics section of the Reader. If you have any concerns about missing posts, you can also check this list here:

  Please let me know if you have any questions! :)
