Why isd my recent post not showing up in my followers reader?

    I just posted my blog entitled Towering monuments of civilization and wildnerness and it doesn’t appear in my followers reader.
    I have 3 categories and 4 tags.

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

    I see that you have made multiple posts on this problem today, and one about a month ago. Unfortunately as a volunteer I cannot explain the problem and we can hope for some insight from another volunteer or staff person. I’ve put a modlook tag on this thread.

  • I see your posts in the Reader. Are you subscribed to the blog yourself?

    Thank you 1tess and macmanx . . . I apologize for the multiple posts . . . in frustration, I guess I didn’t realize I was doing that.

    It is a great idea Macmanx, to subscribe to the blog myself to check if the post is appearing in the reader – my wife mentioned that to me as well.

    Good news is, yes – now it is in the reader – and I think I figured out what I did wrong. I have been using windows live writer for a while and recently updated it. So it looks different and I’m still getting used of it.

    I created the “towering monuments” post on April 3rd and didn’t plan to publish it until April 5th. I didn’t pre-set (on Windows Live Writer) an automatic publish date, because I usually turn my computer off when I’m not using it. When I did go to publish it on April 5th, I hadn’t noticed on the new Live Writer that the date to publish had been set for April 3rd – oops. So maybe even then it was on the reader list – way way down?

    I figured the problem out on the morning of April 6th. In attempting to have it show in the reader, I trashed the post and republished. It still did not appear in the reader. When I tried it one more time (trash and republish), this is when I noticed on Live Writer the box set for April 3rd publish date. I just unclicked that box , pressed publish again one final time, and voila, it did appear in my wife’s reader and my own. Such joy and relief.

    I greatly appreciate your time in responding and helping. I have found the blogging experience to be very fullfilling and met some interesting people from around the globe – this is something I previously wouldn’t have believed was possible via a computer socical network. Thumbs up to you folk at wordpress. Best regards and thanks again . . . Bruce . . . from “through the luminary lens.”
