I wrote a long post and it disappeared

I wrote a long beautiful post about how my holidays were, the start of the new year, the wonderful things I got see and how great Orthodox Christmas and New Year's were, then it disappeared.  I then wrote a second post to describe what happened and it too disappeared.  Then I did a test post, you can see it, it posted, I am leaving it there for all the world to see.  I will at some future point come back to finish that wonderful beautiful post full of sentiment and the wonders of the world but not right now, right now I am not happy with the whole process.  So much for getting an informative post knocked off the list.
