    For some reason my blog was taken off site, with time expired before I could click on publish. How did that happen? As far as I know I have no expiration date, since my site if free. Fortunately I was able to bring it back up on edit and click publish. However,, all tags were not included.

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

    I don’t know what you are referring to re: “taken off site”. I do know that the threshold for the display of the combined total of Categories and Tags on Topics Pages is 15 as stated 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.
