http://wordpress.com publishing takes a longer rime than usual.
I tried publishing a post by adding new categories and reload the page twice but to no avail.
Maybe the servers are having a hard time at automattic headquarters.
I faced the same problem earlier too. and i checked my internet speed etc. by simultaneously working on other websites like blogger too.
But publishing a post at http://wordpress.com does take some time.
Maybe it’s just matter of time, overload during a particular day time.
With NaBloPoMo going on it must be difficult for the servers at http://wordpress.com
