Editing post problem
-
I am having trouble editing my posts- Can someone help me figure out what i am doing wrong. I publish a post and then found a mistake, so I go to edit it, save, then up date, but when I go to the post nothing has changed?! I also have had trouble when I paste my poem to my blog roll it takes the spaces out between stanzas sometimes. I went to edit and fix it but it would not let me. I am real frustrated, and feel uncomfortable knowing that if I find something wrong with my post after I push publish, I cannot fix it easily- Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated- I am new to blogging! Thank you!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Make sure you are running a browser and version of it found here http://browsehappy.com or upgrade. Then use the classic editor and not the Beep Beep Boop editor.
To locate drafts Dashboard > Posts > All Post > Drafts
http://susieteramura.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=postProvided you did not create the post in the new Beep Beep Boop editor where it’s saved only on your browser, and is not auto-saved to the servers for your blog I can help you with this.
If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needs be.

I recommend:
1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
2. Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
3. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.
4. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
5. Never leave a post or page open for content creation or editing and walk away from it, or open another tab in the same blog and work on something else while it is still open. Save it properly and return to edit it later.
6. Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/If you cannot locate a revision or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.

If you are copying and pasting from a word processing document like Microsoft WORD please read this https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/the-paste-as-word-button-has-been-removed-from-the-visual-editor?replies=3
Go to > Dashboard > Settings > Writing and enable this setting:
Formatting
__ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
“save changes”Blog editors and word processors are not the same and do not work the same way. The web standard is one blank line only, so you cannot add more blank lines by pressing return repeatedly like you would do with a typewriter or in a word processing application. If you want to learn how to format and space your posts and pages see:

See also: http://en.support.wordpress.com/advanced-html/P.S. When you create a new post, always make sure the Format tool is set to Paragraph before you start typing. It’s in the Visual editor Row 2 first position “style”. See the illustration here http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2 If you forget to do that then edit the post, highlight all in the Visual editor, select Paragraph from the Format tool, switch editor to Text then switch back to Visual and click Update.
