test -- my posts disappeared!

Sorry to hear. Yes it started having trouble late last night I noticed. Things weren't displaying properly and a few upvotes I was making weren't recording either. I googled it and it has happened before. It's a new platform, still in beta as we all know, and growth pains like this are to be expected I guess.
Again I'm sorry for you. I'm drafting all my articles in separate docs, and am even considering doing so for comments. It feels like such a waste of time and a big gaping hole in your stomach when that happens, huh?

I wrote a long post with many pictures. The publishing process had no problem.
I was redirected to the result page. Everything seemed perfect. So I deleted my draft.
After a few seconds, I refreshed my blog page. That post disappeared.
I could'nt find any clue on what's going on at all.
Till one hour later, there came a notice in homepage telling that the server was in read only model.

I believed that this notice should came earlier.

Exactly the same feeling.
I've saw my post published and then I've emptied the drafts.
That makes me feel worse now.
I don't have the mood to write the same article for a second time.

I just submitted my first post and nothing happened.
