  My blog: http://peggiesplace.wordpress.com has been working fine, no problems. Today I prepared a new post, saved it as usual, went to preview it, and it says “not found.” I cannot figure out what in the world could be wrong. Can you help me please?

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

  Is the post a Draft? Is it Private? Go here > Dashboard > Posts > All Posts and see if you can locate it please?

  If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

  If you are, please do these:
  (1) Try clearing your browser’s cache http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050
  Note: If you are using an IE9 browser in compatibility mode that makes it render as IE7 and IE7 is not supported. To disable see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

  (2) Make sure that you have third-party cookies enabled http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/

  (3) Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled.

  (4.) Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

  If it’s still happening, let us know exactly which browser (and version of it) you’re using by checking here if necessary http://www.whatbrowser.org/ and also post any error reports you get.

  Thanks for your reply. I use SAFARI (MAC). I have cleared my cache…..It is listed under my posts as a draft…..but when I save it and hit “preview” as I normally do, it comes up “not found.” Cookies are not a problem. I do this every weekday and it works seamlessly until today……I did notice that the basic wordpress format for links has turned “black” – left margin – and I don’t remember ever seeing it black; figured it is a new format.

  Appreciate any help you can give. I am really stumped.

  See here also knowing that I am not aware of any connection between the dashboard changes and what you report. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/a-word-on-the-wordpresscom-dashboard-redesign-mp6?replies=1
