  Hey there @mjgolden11!

  I don’t see in your forum profile where you wrote for help yesterday so you must have used a different means of getting support. Because of this, I’m not sure what you were advised to do but I’ll do my best to help you!

  When you say you can’t find it, do you mean that it isn’t showing up on your blog, or you can’t find it on your “All Posts” screen?

  I couldn’t find the saved blog anywhere so I blundered around and found it on the web! I finished it there and returned to WordPress to check it. I found the blog under something called, I think, called admin. the web version which I completed was not on the WordPress site. However the admin site allowed me to update or edit the blog. It is now up and complete. I must say I very much like your site but for me the site can be confusing because of the variety of menus. Even the note you’re responding to didn’t have the traditional send button. I think I was in community support. Why I couldn’t find the saved blog I don’t know. I guess for me I would like to see more simplicity in the structure of the site. An example would be the stuff at the bottom of this box. Is it necessary? What does it mean. Shouldn’t the submit button be right under the reply, instead of under the bobbly good that is there now? Thanks for your prompt reply and concern and thanks to the person who responded yesterday.

  @mjgolden11,

  To learn more about the ins and outs of WordPress, check out this page.

  If you’re stuck on a specific subject or topic, search for it here in the support documentation.

  Concerning your questions about the formatting of this thread:

  1. The buttons at the top of the reply box are shortcuts to insert markup. Markup allows users to apply extra formatting to better answer questions.

  2. The “Check Spelling” button speaks for itself. If you spell words wrong it could really complicate things.

  3. The “Notify me of followup posts via e-mail” option is necessary for support staff and volunteers because it allows users that post to this thread to be notified when somebody responds to this. This saves time by letting users know that there is something new in the thread.

  4. The submit button needs to be below the checkbox option and the following paragraph because, in many situations, if the submit button were above the aforementioned people would ignore the checkbox and paragraph and instead click “Submit” before thoroughly reading everything.

  I hope this helps and good luck in your future blogging adventures!
