  Trying to post for my first time and it will only save as draft or pending. Am I doing something wrong??!

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

  Hello there,
  The default timezone is UTC time. You can reset your timezone here > Settings > General Select the closest city to you in the same timezone in the drop-down menu you see there and then click “save changes”.

  You can also edit, check the visibility setting in the Publish box and change it to Public and click the big blue Publish button.

  I never ever get a publish option….I only get a pending review option as the final command.

  I’m having the same problem. It will tell me at one and the same time to update my email as it confirms that I have already done so.
  I’ve tried changing from yahoo to gmail and that didn’t help. Same thing happens.
  Somewhere I got the idea my adobe reader might need updating, but when I tried that it bombed out on me (twice) ANDI can publish from a different older blog, so that can’t be it. But I want this set of blogs to be seperate (it’s for a course I’m setting up).
  Any ideas?
  Thanks
  Carolyn

  Mine is okay now but I don’t know what I did to make it ok! I couldn’t work out the time zone thing. I was having the same issue with the email verification. I had to verify it several times. I was using the app for the iPad so maybe it was that causing problems.
  I hope you all manage to resolve it! Sorry I can’t help further.

  I’m having the same problem with email verification for carlnordgren.wordpress.com. Please help! Have changed the time zone as recommended, and confirmed email address several times.
