why is my latest blog post not showing up under 'blogs that I follow'?
-
My latest post(the only one I’ve posted today) is not showing up that it was posted. It is not showing up on my ‘on blogs that I follow’. It is only showing up when I actually go into my accounts page.
I have tried several times and several different ways to publish my latest blog post and it simply does not show up. Why?
-
I’m sorry but we cannot provide accurate answers to any blogger who fails to provide the exact URL starting with http:// for the exact blog, post or page they refer to so we can verify where it is hosted. Please do that now.
-
I don’t see a single Tag or Category assigned to that blog post hence that’s why it is not displaying on any Topics (categories and/tags) pages.
-
I also just subscribed to your blog and the post was in my Reader and then unsubscribed so there is no issue I can isolate here.
-
There are tags AND categories aplenty. And there is certainly no reason why my own blog should not be showing up on my tracker because it certainly is not.

Yikes! I am so sorry. I didn’t scroll down far enough.
Tags: Afghanistan, afraid of dying, Allies, America, American exceptionalism, bombs, Ebola, fear, fear mongering, France, Great Britain, Iraq, Mexico, millions dead, pandemic, pestilence, plague, Spring break, syria, terror, tired of hearing about Ebola, US military, vacations, you’re going to die from something
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.

Thank you! I will, from this moment forward, limit my tags AND categories. I guess I tend to get a bit carried away. Again, thanks!
