Just note the day that I realized the tag should be "poems" instead of "poem".

Then go to my http://poeticsojourn.wordpress.com and my http://souleander.wordpress.com blogs and note all the posts made since that time and then look in the "poems" category and you will see every single one of them that was posted during that time.

Then go to my http://psychpoet.wordpress.com and not the posts made during that time and go to the "poems" category and you will not see a single one.

I wasn't getting my blogs to feed to the "poems" page because I was tagging "poem" and not "poems".

I figured that out on my own after "support" telling me it was because I was tagging too much and they had 31 million blogs so getting posted is a crap shoot even though all blogs were posting every time in "poetry".

Now that I've figured out on my own that I should be tagging "poems", tow of my blogs post there each and every single time a post is posted even though there's 31 million blogs but one never does.

All blogs post in "poetry" each and every single time as two blogs post now in "poems" each and ever single time and one never does. ever.

Now if this there isn't a logical conclusion that the one blog has a feed issue to that "poems" page as the others do not then I don't know how you guys approach troubleshooting except to throw unrelated links around. Good job if you can get it.

You don't want to know what I really think of this. One thing is for absolute certain by now and that is it has nothing to do with however many blogs you have.

you send me links on how to advertise my blog merely to get yoursleves off the hook.

Go on and ignore but anyone seeing this has a clear picture of how you opperate or don't opperate as the case may be.

He'll eventually go away and we can collect our paychecks for handing out a few links and not resolving a completely rediculously obvious technical issue with his one blog and we can still refer to ourselves as "support"

Everytime. More posts from psych poet. Never shows up. There obviously is something wrong with the feed from psych poet and you could seem to care less. What's this "support" that I'm hearing of? Does that "support" do anything?

I just posted the identical poem on the psychpoet blog and on the poeticsojourn blog. First the psychpoet and it doesn't show. Then the poeticesojourn. Same content, same exact tags. It shows. I delete and try again on the poeticsojourn. It shows again. I try on the psychpoet. No show again.

You obviously have a product you only casually support. I think all I've presented to you presents a clear issue with the one blog.

Since adjusting the one tag from "poem" to "poems" I have been regularly showing up in the "poems" category when posting from poeticsojourn.wordpress and souleander.wordpress but even though doing the exact same thing have never been showing up in psyhpoet.wordpress.com

Now, what are the odds of that? I mean really.

also, why it wasn't made more user friendly is a puzzle. It could still hold the advanced user with extras that they can utilize but also serve the less advanced computer aficionados who don't have the degree in computer science or have spent most of their waking hours in front of a monitor.

As for the volume of users preventing one of my blogs from posting in "poems" regularly but allowing the other to is something that seems to contradict the many posting theory. Especially when I see the same users having multiple daily posts visible in this category. I guess their connections are quicker? ;) Must be using that new and improved internet.

Why are they getting this and the rest of us labor for a crap shoot.

I thought I had it figured out with the exact "poems" but evidently not since I went to another blog and posted using the exact "poems" and still nothing.

Along with that one my one http://poeticsojourn.wordpress.com blog today I have been having preview issues. Some times it works and some times it doesn't. Some times it opens in the same tab you're working in making it then impossible to do the edit. Some times it shows the text as it will appear and some times it doesn't.

I have a theory. I think you spell crap shoot W-O-R-D P-R-E-S-S

We cannot guarantee that every blog will appear on the front page of that global tag listing. If we did, that would amount to approximately 7 pages of posts made in the last 1 minute.

They show up in the "poetry" category only. I see the others posting in the "poetry" category also showing up in the "poems" category all during this time but not one of mine have!!

I have been using only 4 tags. Poem Poetry Creative Writing and Writing and that is all even though I see the others that are posting using many more.

What will it take for this to be taken as an actual problem and not push off??

Are you merely talking about entering the blog name in a Google search like you do for anything else you wish to find? You would have to know about the blog first to do that and if you already know about the blog you could just enter the url in without the aid of Google. Or are you talking about some service that Google has?

Re-loading the page will occasionally bring up different posts, and yours may be one of them.

Re-tagging old posts won't make much of a difference, as they'll be buried even farther back due to their age.

I don't know what you mean by "refreshing the tag pages"

You mean staying at the Poems or Poetry pages and keep refreshing in hopes to one day see it?

Your subscribers will see it too, along with anyone who reads the blog directly, and of course there are Google searches and such.

Even on the popular tag pages, you have a fair shot, but we have to extend that same fair shot to 31 million other bloggers.
