Saving
-
I am just trying to save stuff to my site, but nothing has gotten saved since I started and every time I try posting a blog it doesn’t actually save it and I can’t find the blog, post, or page anywhere.

Hi,
Did you publish your blog ? If you have not then wordpress automatically saves your blogs every few secs under “drafts”.
Try this -> Click on “My Site” -> under “publish” ->click on “Blog Posts” (left side menu) ->
You should see 2 tabs – “Published” and ” Drafts” . If you click on “Drafts”, you should find your unpublished Drafts there.Hope this helps
-
When you say 2 tabs should open up one published and the other is drafts, but only drafts shows up and I have pressed publish probably over a hundred times and it doesn’t do anything.

This appears to be an empty site https://blakewalshteacher.wordpress.com/ hosted by wordpress.COM.Assuming you are actually referring to that site or another wordpress.COM hosted site and not a wordpress.ORG software install, please read on.
Staff are working on improving post and page revisions. If you cannot restore from your browser, or locate a revision, or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.
re: recovering a lost post or page
Please go to https://wordpress.com/post with the same browser and see if it offers to restore a post. If a restore button appears, that means a local copy was saved in your browser and you may be able to recover it.If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Pages > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needed.

To locate draft POSTS Dashboard > Posts > All Post > Drafts
http://blakewalshteacher.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post
To locate draft PAGES Dashboard > Pages> All Pages > Drafts
http://blakewalshteacher.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=page
I recommend:
1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
Dashboard > Posts > Add New and pages at Dashboard > Pages > Add New
If you have cookies enabled on your browser your preference will be saved unless or until your clear your cookies, and it will take you to the classic editor automatically every time you create a new post via the drop-down menu in the black admin bar or edit a post via the edit button on the blog itself.You cannot deactivate the new Beep Beep Boop editor but you do not have to use it. For locating the ways and means of accessing the legacy or classic pages for creating posts, editing posts, and viewing stats see here > Navigating the Classic WordPress.COM interface http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2015/04/05/navigating-the-classic-wordpress-com-interface/
2. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.
3. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
4. Never leave a post or page open for content creation or editing and walk away from it, or open another tab in the same blog and work on something else while it is still open. Save it properly and return to edit it later.
5. Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/
If you were using the app you could report that here https://apps.wordpress.org/support/

Here is some help for starting blogging at http://blakewalshteacher.wordpress.com/ which is the site linked to your wordpress.COM. username

re: the front page error message found on every new .wordpress.com blog
There is nothing wrong with your blog.
By default, the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post, not a page, the error message will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also on the bottom of your Admin page.
A blog is a website. The difference between blog and website is simply structure and semantics.
A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. As the posts are frequently updated and appear on the front page of the site it’s very attractive to search engines.
What most people call a website is merely a page based site that functions as a one-way noticeboard. As the structure is page based and as pages are for static content that rarely changes, and as pages do not have RSS feeds, and as others do not backlink to pages, it is not as attractive to search engines as a post based blog structured site is.
Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

That didn’t help at all. I looked at the video. How do I publish posts because it is not letting me?

HI there,
There is a similar question that has been answered previously. Please check this ..
https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/unable-to-publish-blog-posts?replies=8The problem in the other thread was the email was not verified. Did you verify your email ? You must have got an email from wordpress asking to verify your email address. Did you do that ?

Hi,
When you log into your account you should see a notification asking you to verify your email. There you should see a “resend confirmation” option.
One you did that check your email ( including spam folder) to see if you got the email and verify the account. If you are using gmail here is a link with some tips.
https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-notifications/gmail-issues/Please let me know if you could find it.
Hope this helps.
