  I edited a post for my blog and reuploaded it and now it won’t show up on the blog no matter how many times I change it back into a draft and change it. I can access the post via comments and I can write a new post but this one is not showing up no matter what. What can I do?
  It is called ‘I remember’ and was published on Wednesday 6th March, 2013

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

  This is a known bug, and nobody has been able to pin it down. Until it’s fixed, I recommend you use an offline blog editor like Windows Live Writer or Blogdesk to post.

  Does this mean that I will never be able to use the bugged post again?

  I really don’t know, I’m afraid. When my post did the same thing, I edited it and Updated it and it showed up then. Not everyone is having the same success.

  You may be able to recover a post revision. Go to Posts > All Posts, hover over the title of the post, click Edit and check the Post Revisions module for previous saved versions of the post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/

  If you’re not seeing the Revisions module while on the editor screen, click Screen Options (top right corner of your Admin page) http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ to activate it. Then select the post and page modules to include them. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules Then you ought to be able to go here > Dashboard > All Posts > Posts and locate the post and recover it from post revisions.

  If you cannot locate the post for locating and restoring a post revision, and it’s not in your Trash folder http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/ then you will not be able to recover it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash

  Did you create your post on the dashboard of your own blog?
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New

  Or did you create your post on the front page of WordPress.com?
  http://wordpress.com/#!/post/
