  Hi all! I published my first post earlier this afternoon, and it just disappeared from my home page. The post itself still exists, but it’s not showing up on the home page and I don’t know how to fix that. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

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

  If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needs be.

  Thanks so much for the advice! I can still access the posts, but when I go to my homepage, it says no posts exist. So while the posts are still accessible from my dashboard and all, when I open the blog in any browser it shows a blank homepage.

  For some reason your post wasn’t displaying on the home page properly. I reset things for you and it appears to be working now.

  Also, I’ve noticed that you have a contact form on that post. That is different from a comment form, as a contact form will invite someone to contact you privately via email. If you prefer to have comments on your posts that are visible to others, you don’t need to insert the contact form as well.

  Thank you SO much, Jackie! It looks perfect now. :) And thank you for the advice about the contact form! I’ll remove it.

  Thanks again!
