  Hello there,
  Here is the tags block you assigned to a single post:

  Tags: Abstract, Abstract Expressionism, Acrylic, Art, Artists, Artists on wordpress, Arts, Automatism, Braille, Business, Charcoal, Conceptual, Contemporary art, Drawing, Expressionism, Mixed media, Painters, Painting, Visual Arts

  Here are the reasons for non-appearance on the Topics ie. categories and tags pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/#missing-posts

  What you are doing (inadvertently) is called spamdexing AKA as tag spamming. The rule of thumb is assign the least number of relevant categories and tags to any post.

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

  Using fifteen tags on posts with basically no text content could be one of your problems. Why are you tagging paintings with “Automattic” in the first place? Tags must related directly to your content or you will be barred from the tag pages as a tag spammer.

  The tag is: Automatism
  Automatism has taken on many forms: the automatic writing and drawing initially (and still to this day) practiced by surrealists can be compared to similar, or perhaps parallel phenomena, such as the non-idiomatic improvisation of free jazz.

  Hi!
  If the language my blog is written in is spanish, that means that it won´t show up if I try to search it with english tags?
  Thanks!
