Lost Posts found

Thankfully, after some researching and fiddling with the dashboard I found a few of the lost posts. However, when I select it and click "Publish Post" it says "Post Published" yet when I go to my blog, nothing shows up. It seems the only way to fix this issue may be to simply copy and paste it as a new post and hope it works. This is a negative thing as it will be out of order and seem rather unfitting.
