  I can’t publish posts, I am only able to save drafts. How can I publish?

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

  Hi, Patrick. Are you the administrator of the blog? Or is this a blog you’ve been invited to write content for? Based on what you’ve told us, I would guess that you are a “Contributor,” which would mean that you have the rights to write and edit posts, but not publish them.

  Cheers,
  -Brian

  I should be the Admin as well as the writer. It’s just me and I set the Blog up. Do I need to change something?

  See here http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/
  Like futureswitch said above. It sounds like you either are logged in as a contributor under another username account that did not register the blog or that you demoted yourself as the Admin who registered to blog to contributor status.

  Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

  If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
  follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

  If you have lost your Admin log-in information you can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
