 * I can’t preview my post when I hit Preview. Nothing happens. The only way to 
   view it is to hit Publish. When it is published, I’m able to hit View Post, and
   see it this way.
 *  I am a complete newbie, and this is frustrating. I don’t want to publish something
   without being able to preview first!

 * Hi,
 * Check with these options:
 * -> Disable all the plugins
    -> Upgrade your wordpress to the latest version -
   > Change your theme to default to rules out theme level problems.
 * Thanks,
 * Shane G.
