I do have one more question...I gave something four categories this morning and it only showed up in ONE of those category feeds. Why is that?

On the up side do note that it's search engines like Google and Bing that bring significant traffic to blogs. The flow of traffic from topics pages is negligible.

It's been three days. My other two blogs are showing back up on the feed, but eccentric chai is still going unnoticed. This isn't fair. I work hard and have worked very hard on that blog and now it isn't even being seen within the wordpress community. I'm very close to just shutting down the whole thing. I don't want to pay to receive staff support, I just want to know what the heck is going on.

So once I remove those excess tags and such, my posts should start showing back up?

Yes but it may take several days.

I have a very versatile post, so I have lots of different categories.

WordPress.com is very accommodating and generous re: the maximum combined number of Categories and Tags. Google is not. On one hand the traffic flow form WordPress.com topics pages is negligible. On the other the traffic flow from Google is significant.

Neither Categories nor Tags are required for SEO (search engine optimization) purposes. These days search engines pay more attention to your keywords in your content than they do to your keywords in Tags/Categories. Note also that Google's algorithms can detect when any Category or Tag assigned does not appear in the text of a post. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/03/01/revisiting-keywords-and-tags/

okay, so then my question is: why isn't my most recent post showing up even though it only has a combined total of 4-5?

That could be because there are previously posts in the blogs that have more than the maximum and the software finally apprehended that.

I'm a librarian and trust me when you say you are happy I did not set the maximum as it would be half of that. As an analogy how much would you love a librarian who sent you to 15 different library shelves to find a book that should have been assigned to 1 shelf?
