  Please explain what has changed. Some details about what you see now as compared to what you saw when making a new post worked would help to solve your problem.

  Formerly, I clicked on new post and then was able to write the post. Now, if a click on “new post” nothing happens althogh it’s looking for the server. I can’t get in to any other topic on the toolbar either.

  Thanks for the help

  If you would like to eliminate the possibility of browser related issues please do as follows. If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

  Note: If you are using an IE9 browser in compatibility mode that makes it render as IE7 and IE7 is not supported. To disable see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

  If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com please do these four things:

  1. Try clearing your browser’s cache: http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050

  2. Make sure that you have third-party cookies and JavaScript are enabled

  3. Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled.

  4. Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

  If it’s still happening, let us know exactly which browser (and version of it) you’re using by checking here if necessary http://www.whatbrowser.org/ and also post any error reports you get.

  Forget “New post”, as it has always been buggy, and create your posts the normal way: Posts > Add New (dashboard sidebar).

  Also when you refer to clicking on New Post do you mean here?
  http://wordpress.com/#!/post/

  If so then do not create posts there. Instead create them on your own blog’s dashboard at > Dashboard > Posts > Add New

  mattowens355.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this site.

  The blog linked to your username has been deleted. What is the URL of the blog you refer to above?

  Here’s how to link your username to your blog in your blog Dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to Account Details. Then scroll down to where it says ‘Primary Blog‘ select the URL for your primary wordpress.com blog and then save changes.

  Then every time you sign into the forum we can all click on your username and your blog will be linked to it. And every time you leave a comment on a blog your username can be likewise clicked and your blog can be instantly located.
