  Google changed the way they evaluate and rank sites.

  Also, you are using so many tags there is no question that search engines will have classified you as a tag spammer, and downgraded you accordingly. Also, you have many broken images on your latest post, which cannot be helping you.

  @raincoaster Oh Kay! Thanks.

  Where do i find out what the criteria are so i can attempt to get more people to see my hours of work to create beautiful posts packed with photos!
  No point in posting if no one is going to see them.
  I did see that one image is shown per post by wordpress, when i have posted say 16 thumbnails. And worst of all is they give precedence to Youtube links, so hideous video pic is shown! not mine!

  Am unable to find where everyone’s posts can be seen ie the live post feed! freshlypressed – massive size photos, to view them too slow for me! have a fast connection I want to see thumbnails so i can pick out the ones i want to enlarge. I’m an instergramer now!
  Am most fed up!
  and I have to search to find the the search for catergories..
  Eissh!

  Yes, you are. Use no more than a cumulative total of 15 tags and/or categories on any single post.

  A broken image is where the link to the image shows up but the image does not.

  If you want tips on how to appeal more to Google do a forum search. There are a couple of thousands of tips here on SEO.

  @raincoaster
  thanks for your input – much appreciated.
  Very odd that everything looks fine re broken images.
  I do not see what you describe. All images are there to be seen
  must be a browser thing will investigate further

  your blog looks very good – big changes since i was last there many years ago! When i recall you being most helpful then too.
  all the best.

  Thanks, good luck with your site too.

  I changed the site linked to my name. http://raincoaster.com still exists but I’ve been so swamped with the new site I haven’t had time to blog over there in a month!
