  I published a new post a few minutes ago and tagged it appropriately, I also added the appropriate categories. But the post does not show up in the categories that I have put it into.
  That way no one can see my post in their reader!
  Please help!

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

  Hi there,
  All reasons for non-appearance of posts on Topics pages or Reader can be found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/#missing-posts The rule of thumb is to assign the least combined number of categories and tags that accurately describe the post content.

  if 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 note it may take several days for your posts to begin displaying there.

  Hi,
  Thanks a lot! The problem was too many categories tags. I have sorted that out and taken the post down for now. Will publish it again a few days later. I hope that does not cause problems.

  Cheers.
