  Blog posts will not publish. Previewing a post before publishing will only show the post title and no body content. There has been no previous issue with the browser that I use in publishing. Nothing has changed on my end. Thank you for your assistance.

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

  WordPress.com has an autosave feature and you may be able to recover an earlier post revision. Go to Posts > All Posts, hover over the title of the post, click Edit and check the Post Revisions module for previous saved versions of the post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/

  If you’re not seeing the Revisions module while on the editor screen, click Screen Options (top right corner of your Admin page) http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ to activate it. Then select the post and page modules to include them. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules Then you ought to be able to go here > Dashboard > All Posts > Posts and locate the post and recover it from post revisions.

  If you cannot locate the post for locating and restoring a post revision, and it’s not in your Trash folder http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/ then you will not be able to recover it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash

  Did you create your post on the dashboard of your own blog?
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New

  Or did you create your post on the front page of WordPress.com?
  http://wordpress.com/#!/post/

  Advice:
  Create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New

  Or use an offline blog editor so you always have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/

  Thanks, but while I’m editing within my own blog, when attempting to preview, the preview will open another window showing only the post title. Nothing in the body.The same happens when I publish. I can see the body content in the editor, but it disappears in the preview window and when publishing.

  The culprit was pasting a jpeg into the body. Once removed, things are working as before. Odd though, as I’ve copied & pasted images before with no problem. Thanks again!
