  Hi,

  I’m currently at uni and we have to use a blog as reflective tool for part of our assessment. I used this blog all last year and had no problems, now i’m back for my second year and my blog won’t save or publish any of my posts. The green progress bar at the top of the screen almost gets to the end and just stops. I’ve tried it on a few different computers but the same thing happens on all of them.

  Please help as I need to submit my blog address for assessment.

  Thanks

  Sam Wain

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

  Are you using the new Beep Beep Boop editor?
  Or are you using the classic editor on your dashboard?

  Perhaps you can provide some details which may be helpful to Staff.

  How are you connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com? The way you connect to the internet (mobile, satellite, DSL, dial-up) and to your blog, and how many proxy server jumps etc. it takes to connect can cause problems. There maybe be problems with your ISP and/or with the proxy servers.

  Are you using http:// or https:// ? see http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

  Which browser and version of it are you using?
  Is your browser version up to date? You can upgrade any browser version here.

  Do you have another browser you can try?

  You can use this link to see if your Flash is up to date. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ If it’s not up to date then this is where to download and install the latest version of Flash. http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/

  Sometimes operating system and/or security system updates can cause problems so check for known issues. When you make adjustments to your browser settings — changing privacy settings, deleting cookies or increasing security — you will need to close your window and restart the browser before those new settings become effective.

  Please try my suggestions and report back to us.

  I see a post on your site that was published today

  Year 2 – A look back over the summer

  So it looks like your posts are being published–If you could take a screenshot of where you are seeing the green progress bar, perhaps we can figure out why it looks like the post isn’t being published.

  Here’s how to share a screenshot in the forums: http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/
