You are not a bother, Wade! I can see the note and my several answers — don’t know why you can‘t. Anyway, I think I resolved the problem. Here are my responses below:
I searched the title and found the post but didn’t see it when scrolling through recent additions. I changed the tags on your piece to include Photography and Animals. My fault on this, all posts must have the tag of Photography and I published it without adding that tag. Since we have a section called animals, adding the animal tag posted it there.
The front page is set up with challenge responses first, then most recent 3 posts, then the posts for particular tags/categories. Yours was under recent until 3 new posts were published, then it dropped off.
Problem appears to have been the tags. Always use Photography as one then try to choose a tag to match the categories on the SnapShot page (Nature, Travel, B&W, Animals). Challenges have specific special tags.
Again, sorry, I didn’t catch that your piece didn’t have Photography and Animals as tags. After all, that is an Editor’s job!! But, using proper tags should solve the problem in the future.
If you have problems in the future, let me know. I am always glad to help.
