  I have saved and then published my latest blog 4 times, each time it appears to have been published, here is a link to it http://emmaandtoad.wordpress.com/?p=32&preview=true but when I go back it is gone and an old version of the draft is all I have left. Not sure what to do. Suggestions??

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

  Hi there,

  I’m confused. I see a published blog at http://emmaandtoad.wordpress.com/2013/08/08/movingon/ which is entitled “out of Dodge”. Is this not the post you were trying to make? Are your most recent changes not showing up properly?

  Please let me know more specifics and I’d be happy to assist you further.

  The link provided is to a preview. That might be part of the issue. :)

  Make sure you’re hitting the Update button after you’ve made your changes to the post.

  thanks very much, I was updating each time.

  I’m not sure what I did differently, or if I did do anything differently,but it got posted.

  thanks very much!

  Change your username > http://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/

  Change your image
  See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/blavatars/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/gravatars/

  Gravatars do not show up instantly after uploading them. Gravatar images are cached and frequently take several days to display after a change. Do not keep uploading! The first place they tend to display is here in the forums. If several days have passed and that change is not in evidence then post here for Gravatar support > http://en.gravatar.com/site/contact-us/

  For best practices for uploading gravatars, avatars and blavatars scroll down to below the video here: http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/24/gravatar-avatar-blavatar/
