  i have spent hours and hours and hours and hours trying to actually publish the pages i create so the blocks i made can be seen.
  this is the least friendly website ive ever used.
  there is literally nothing online that helps with the issue i am having.
  the website saves the blocks i made, and i can see all of the blocks when i click ‘edit’. but they disappear and the page is blank and black when i click ‘preview’.
  if i cannot fix this soon i am just abandoning the entire godforsaken site.

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I see on your site that it says that it was designed by someone else (Matt XXX). It is possible they implemented something that is causing this issue with your blocks not displaying properly in Preview mode.

  Another possible issue may arise when using custom code in an HTML block that includes code that is not supported, such as iframes.

  It may also be an issue with the Theme that was used to create the site if it has an older 3rd party one that is no longer being supported by its developer.

  Could you post a screenshot of your blocks before hitting Preview?

  I can see 5 pages listed on your homepage and they are displaying to the right of the Page List block.

  If you are publishing the Pages and not seeing them populate the main menu, then it may be that the menu needs to be manually edited to include the new pages.

  Separately from the issues you are experiencing, I feel there is a lot of empty space on the site that is maybe diminishing the user experience. You have some nice imagery that could be better showcased with one of the “Art & Design” or “Portfolio” themes.
