  I just have the free version of wordpress with nothing fancy but for some reason when I post something, while it will say it’s posted and direct me to the published article, when I click on my blog it’s not there and when I go back into my dashboard all that’s there is the last saved draft of the post. It’s driving me crazy! Please help!

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

  Did you create your post on the dashboard of your own blog?
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New

  Or did you create your post on the front page of WordPress.com?
  http://wordpress.com/#!/post/

  Please be sure to upgrade your browser version here http://browsehappy.com first.

  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 have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/

  Are you clicking on Save Draft or Publish? Save draft will save it but it won’t publish it. You might also check to see that Publish immediately is showing on the left-hand side of the edit screen. If you have a later date, you won’t see your post until that date.
