    I checked the mature content - the blogs don't show up whether I choose to view mature content or not.

    1) Double-check your settings

    At the top of the "My Blog" page click the "Edit Blog Settings" link. Make sure you put a title, then scroll down and activate your simple URL and change the "who can see your blog" and "who can post comment" settings to Public. Also, check the "Publish Mature Content on My Blog" box, if you think you might do that. Make sure to click "Save" at the bottom.

    2) Either post another blog entry or edit the most current entry that you've posted (add or delete a word, then re-save).

    3) Make sure to check how other people view your page by clicking on the drop down menu "Preview as seen by" at the top right of your 360 "My Page". Choose a permission group and click the "Go" button.

    4) Ask all site visitors (age 18 and over) with 360 pages to change their Basic Info Settings - click on the "Settings" link and scroll down to the bottom to select "Yes, let me view it" under "View Mature Content on a Blog." Click the "Save" button.

    Anyone under age 18 will not be able to view your blog. Also, mature content is blocked the public who don't have 360 pages too. This is how it should be when posting mature/adult content on 360 spaces (according to the guidelines at http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/guidelines/gu...

    UPDATE: If you really believe it's a glitch after checking & doing all of the above, click on your "Beta Feedback" link in the top right corner of your 360 space and send in a Help form on this Technical Problem.

    I am having the same problem this evening! I have always had my blogs show up and when I added two tonight...they disappeared from public view?

    Let me know if you get a better answer than I have. I have everything set to public too...

    Unfortunately I'm having the same trouble at the moment. I posted a new blog yesterday, but it didn't show up for some reason. There's probably a glitch. It'll sort itself out soon hopefully :)

    go to your profile settings on your MY PAGE and look and see if you have it set to contain mature content.. if you do... and your birthday on your email account does not indicate you are 18 years of age or older.. it will not even show it to you..

    I know.. crazy sounding I know.. but yahoo takes the under age and mature content very seriously.. the laws are very strict..
