I posted my first blog but it seems to have disappeared
-
I posted a blog, saved it, checked it and then sent people there but now it seems to have disappeared.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
We cannot even begin to help because you failed to post the URL or title of the missing post or page. Please do that now.
-
Moreover this site https://crumpetstales.wordpress.com/ appears to be completely devoid of any blogger created content. Is that the site in question or not?
-
I found the information on crumpetstales.wordpress.com./introduction
but I don’t understand why the link from my wordpress page links to a page with no information and the/introduction page seems to be a different page while I want that to be my home page. Also, a Google search of crumpetstales takes me to the page with nothing on it. -
If you are referring to https://crumpetstales.wordpress.com/ please read on.
Nothing Found
It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.There is nothing wrong with your blog. By default the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post not a page the error message will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

re: recovering a lost post or page
Please go to https://wordpress.com/post with the same browser and see if it offers to restore a post. If a restore button appears, that means a local copy was saved in your browser and you may be able to recover it.If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Pages > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needs be.

http://crumpetstales.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=pageIf you cannot restore a post or page from your browser, or locate a revision, or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.
I recommend:
1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
Dashboard > Posts > Add New and pages at Dashboard > Pages > Add New
If you have cookies enabled on your browser your preference will be saved unless or until your clear your cookies, and it will take you to the classic editor automatically every time you create a new post via the drop-down menu in the black admin bar or edit a post via the edit button on the blog itself.You cannot deactivate the new Beep Beep Boop editor but you do not have to use it. For locating the ways and means of accessing the legacy or classic pages for creating posts, editing posts, and viewing stats see here > Navigating the Classic WordPress.COM interface http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2015/04/05/navigating-the-classic-wordpress-com-interface/
2. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.
3. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
4. 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.
5. Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/

Thank you for your comprehensive help. I’ll see if I can rectify it. Excuse me- I’m a noob!

No need to be excused; we were all new once. You knew where to come for help, and hopefully, I provided what you need. If not, you can post again and we will work from there.

Just one more question: should I now delete the /introduction page? I have copied the info over to my post.
