  My 1st post on my blog is taking forever to post. It’s just not posting at all. It’s an endless “Posting” progress sign. I tried all morning, without luck. Still trying.

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

  If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

  It’s just not posting at all. It’s an endless “Posting” progress sign.

  Then don’t use that new post link here https://wordpress.com/post/
  Instead login directly to the blog and use this link to create your posts > Dashboard > Posts > Add New
  http://foxboroughmansion.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php

  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.

  See also if applicable > restoring from trash http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash

  (If you are referring to a Page then see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-revisions/)

  If you cannot locate a revision or restore from Trash the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.

  I recommend:

  Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
  Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.
  Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
  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.
  Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/
