Where did my blog go? After adding a blog post, it says 'page not found'.
-
I just added a blog post, and now my entire blog can’t be found. All other pages are active, and I can see all of the posts, accept the one I just created, in my list of blog entries on my dashboard, but when I try to view the blog on my site, it says ‘Page not found’. The new blogpost ‘The Unseen Spiral’ shows up on my dashboard under ‘pages’.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
It sounds like you may have accidentally created your new article as a page rather than as a post. The two composition windows look almost identical, so it’s a really easy mistake to make (I have done it myself!).
The way that I fixed it was to go in to the Dashboard and then go to Pages >> All Pages and edit the page that I had created. I went to the text view of the page (this is done by clicking the text tab in the upper right corner of the compose window) so that I could see the code version of my article. I copied the entire post, and then exited that page (don’t delete it quite yet).
I then went to Posts >> Add new. Again, make sure that it’s on the Text view, and paste everything in. Click on Preview to make sure it all looks good. You can now set a title and publish it. Now that the post is in the right place, go back and delete your page!
Let me know if you have any questions or run in to any troubles.

Thanks! A friend fixed this up for me, but yes, I believe that is exactly what happened. My bad.

No problem at all! Like I said, I’ve done the exact same thing and I work here. It happens to the best of us.
Have a great week!
