Page "published" but not appearing on blog
-
This page http://johnbalaya.com/2015/02/17/i-know-where-ive-been-2/ was published on my blog … you can get to it via the link, but it does not appear on the homepage of my blog…
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

That’s not a Page. It is a Post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ And it is displaying on the front page of your blog as would be expected.

That’s not condescending. You came, you reported something as a fact, it isn’t true, you were corrected, and TT indicated that there is no problem. So there is no problem except that you seem to wish someone had NOT indicated there is no problem.

I posted something that, at the time I reported it was true. The post did not appear on my blog.
I cleared my cache, and, again, it did not appear.
I waited 5 minutes, it still hadn’t appeared. So, I wrote a help note. I did, in fact use the word page, instead of post … and, I said “pardon my mistake”.
I’ve been a WP member for many years, so I know that when you click publish, then ‘view post’, the post shows up. I got a 404 message, which I’d never received before. Hence the cache clearing.
While I was writing the note, I was called away, and submitted it without checking my wording or stating all my steps, as I usually do when I’ve asked for help before.
The response reads very condescending. Writing and speaking are not the same, and, to me, the response seems very condescending. I made an error. I don’t mind being called out on the error, but the ‘as would be expected’ seems quite condescending to me. Perhaps it was not intended that way, but it certainly reads that way. There are nicer ways to point out that I made an error.
I apologized for my mistake, and I pointed out something I thought was condescending. I believe I did it politely. I believe that as a paying member I am allowed to voice an opinion without someone else jumping in and attacking me for it.
Again, in my answer, I acknowledged my mistake — and used the same tone as the initial reply. I don’t believe I was rude. Sarcastic, yes. Rude is the second reply, which reads more like an attack than anything else. I reported something that was true — at the time I reported it. I don’t know why it took my post more than 5 minutes to show up on my home page — that doesn’t make me stupid.
I apologize for my sarcasm … though, I still believe that the initial answer reads as very condescending.
