  I recently created my first wordpress.com site (yay) but today, when I try to log in or write a post, I get a simple message:

  502 Bad Gateway
  nginx

  I’m very new to this, and wondering if I’m just making a rookie mistake. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thanks,
  Bob

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

  Note that about 30% of those who post here daily are posting to wrong support forum and the answers to wordpress.COM and WordPress.ORG support questions are not the same and we do not provide wordpress.ORG support here at wordpress.COM.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, support docs and support forums, run different theme versions of themes with the same names, and many people get confused about the two. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ as you could be posting to the wrong support forum.

  We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. We cannot provide support for sites that are not on our servers. Our support docs do not apply to
  (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
  (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM. That support is found at http://wordpress.ORG/support/
  (3) sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page. That support is found at http://jetpack.com/support/

  The wordpress.ORG support forums are at http://wordpress.org/support. The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/

  App support https://apps.wordpress.org/support/

  You can confirm where your site is hosted by typing the URL in here http://www.whoishostingthis.com/
