  I thought that I wrote and posted a blog; however, nothing is showing. Under my name and title, it shows Day One, but nothing is there. Please advise.

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

  1. You created a Page, not a Post
  http://nwan23.wordpress.com/about/
  2. By default the front page of your blog displays all posts. The 404 (page not found) error message on the front page of the blog appeared because the Admin of the blog deleted the placeholder Hello World post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/not-found/ As soon as you publish a post, not a page it will disappear. Read the differences between Pages and Posts.

  Pages vs. Posts

  Thank you for your response. I however, did create both a page and a post. I created the About page and I wrote out my first post as well-2 separate items. Still not sure where it went, but wrote out another post.

  Okay then let’s see if you can recover this post. WordPress.com has an autosave feature and you may be able to recover an earlier 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

  Advice:
  Create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New

  Or use an offline blog editor so you always have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/
