Why can't I see my blog on wordpress.com after publishing it?
-
I published my blog Monday night, and I can see it on my own wordpress website, but when I type in a tag to look for it within wordpress.com, I can’t find it.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You are tag spamming. 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 that.
The rule of thumb is to assign to your posts the least, not the most, combined number of only relevant categories and tags that accurately describe the individual post content.

Tag pages are updated in realtime. If you published something two days ago, you’d have to scroll back forever to see it on the tag pages. Also, brand new blogs don’t get listed in tag pages. It takes awhile.

Thank you very much for your help, and for responding promptly. I went ahead and took off the least relevant tags to my blog.
