  Hi, I’ve been trying to post for about an hour and when I save the post, I don’t see it on the blog or under manage posts. If I log out and look at the blog, the post heading is there with nothing else. If I log back in and then try to edit the post I get a 404 error. The formatting of the blog is also screwed up. Temporary system problems?

  The image on the second “send a troop a text…” is too wide for the layout which will “break your layout, especially in IE (Firefox and some others are more forgiving and typically just cut off part of the image). The image size on the one above it is OK. The maximum image width for Andreas09 is 652px: http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/09/25/how-big-can-my-images-be/ .

  Also, because of your heavy use of Youtube and images, I would strongly suggest that you reduce the number of post that appear on your blog pages: options > reading reduce the number under “show at most: _ posts” so that your pages will load faster.

  It may be that there is some updating going on because there seems to be a rash of problems with avatars and images and such. This is of course wild speculation on my part as I don’t know for sure.

  If I were you, I would think about an offline blog editor, if you are not using one already, so that if there are posting problems, you have a copy of the post on your computer hard drive. Timethief has a good round up of them here: http://wpbloggingtips.wordpress.com/2007/10/26/offline-blog-editors-reviews/

  Thanks, but I can’t even see the “send a troop a text” post to edit it. I’ve been trying
  to fix the image size.

  Hoping that I’m caught in an update.

  I would give it till tomorrow morning and see if things settle down. Since wordpress has many servers scattered around, it may be that there is a server synchronization problem right now. I’m of course speculating on that as well.

  There is also the possibility of some internet network issues.

  I am having the same problem. I push “publish” and the post just disappears.

  Now I can see new posts w/ FF if I’m logged in, but not when logged out. Or at all w/ IE.

  I’ll worry about it in the morning if it’s still happening.
