Your blog should be considered a LOCATION and a community is also a LOCATION.
It appears you chose to place your recent post in a COMMUNITY you did not choose to place it in your BLOG.
There is good news you can put the post in your BLOG as well. Just use the resteem feature.
Also pinned did work... it just takes a bit of time for it to show up.
Oh! So if I use a hive tag first it posts in a community? Good to know. Will resteem everything posted to a community from now on.
Yes my post just appeared, but I pinned it yesterday so it takes a LOOONG time.
Thank you so much for your prompt reply!!!
