  My blog posts aren’t publishing. I can get a whole post ready to go, but when I push the publish button it either does nothing or keeps trying to load continuously. I’ve been having problems for a week now and can’t get it to work, even after resetting the cookies and cache.

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

  (1) How are are connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com?

  I’m asking because the way you connect to the internet (mobile, satellite, DSL, dial-up) and to your blog, and how many proxy server jumps etc. it takes to connect can cause problems. There maybe be problems with your ISP and/or with the proxy servers. Also note that the main dashboard isn’t designed to work with touch devices through the tablet and smartphone browsers.

  (2) Exactly which browser and version of it are you using. If you don’t know click here to find out > http://whatsmyuseragent.com/
  Note: If you are running IE9 in compatibility mode then be aware that it renders as IE7 and IE7 is not supported.

  (3) Have you tried?
  clearing your browser cache and cookies > http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050
  using the browser with all extensions or add-ons disabled
  updating the browser to the latest stable version (not a buggy BETA browser version) http://browsehappy.com/
  using another browser

  (4) Are you logging in using the secure https:// log-in? see http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

  I had unchecked the https box when I was making a blog book with blurb. I’ll check it and try another post.
