My blog won't publish.
-
My blog won’t publish. I can enter my post, but then when I hit the button to publish, the little wheel that says its publishing just spins and spins and spins. Or the save button does the same this. I just wish I could talk to someone who could help. Two days ago, it wouldn’t even let me publish. Now I can enter a post but it won’t publish. This is so frustrating.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I do not recommend logging in and posting here http://wordpress.com/#!/post/
I recommend logging in directly to your own blog and posting in that dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New

I am getting the exact same problem. The problem occurs in both Firefox 17.0.1 and Chrome 23.0.1271.101 Third party cookies are enabled. The problem also occurs when I go into private browsing mode (fresh cookies) and try to make the post. This is happening with both an long standing blog ( http://intellectualdetox.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php ) and a brand new blog ( http://devinfinbarr.wordpress.com ).
It appears to be a problem with the API. The hanging only happens on this page:
http://wordpress.com/#!/post/When I use the old create page it works fine:
http://intellectualdetox.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.phpI looked at the Firebug tab, I saw the following request and result:
POST https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1/sites/44474888/posts/new?http_envelope=1
200 OK
581ms
————————–
TypeError: data is null
[Break On This Error]
window.parent.postMessage( [ data.body, data.code, callback ], origin );
———————————-
Note – the result body of the POST was completely empty.I believe there is something wrong with the API where it is not returning the body of the post as it should be according to the docs ( https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/api/1/post/sites/%24site/posts/new/ ) The javascript then throws an exception because the proper response body was not produced.
I have a little wordpress app that can make posts to my blog via a python script. I have confirmed that when I make a post via the script the same problem occurs. I can use by script to GET a list of posts, but when I POST a new blog post, the result is a 200 response with an empty body, instead of a JSON response with the proper data.

FYI, I’ve also tried via https at https://wordpress.com/#!/post/ and still not luck. Same problem, the request to the API returns with a 200 status code, but the post is never created, the result has no body, and the UI throws a javascript error.
This is definitely a bug in the wordpress.com API
You guys should really fix this quickly, because this happened on step 6 of the sign up process, so every new person signing up will be hitting this bug.

We apologize for this issue, which was caused by a technical problem at our end. Posting should be working again. If anyone is still having trouble, please let me know.
