  Does it show “invalid request” or “undefined”? I am having the same problem and can’t figure it out.

  This can happen when you have a fatal number of HTML errors.

  Looks like you’ve already got some big HTML problems as a result of cutting and pasting. We recommend using Windows Live Writer or a similar offline blog editor.

  If you must continue cutting and pasting, do these two steps first:

  1) go to Settings->Writing and select “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML”

  2) edit each of your existing posts. That causes this effect above to work on pre-existing posts.

  Then you should be able to publish your new post.

  There’s an issue with creating posts on the front page of WordPress.com that will not be fixed until the next upgrade. Do not create posts here > http://wordpress.com/#!/post/

  Instead I recommend that you ONLY create posts here > Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New

  If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

  Note: If you are using an IE9 browser in compatibility mode that makes it render as IE7 and IE7 is not supported. To disable see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

  If you are, please do these four things:

  1. Try clearing your browser’s cache http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050

  2. Make sure that you have third-party cookies enabled http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/

  3. Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled.

  4. Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

  If you aren’t successful let us know which browser (and version of it) you’re using and post any error reports you get.
