My Pages problem has been resolved! I contacted support and they cleared my blog cache.

As of Thursday Dec. 4 2008 midnightish East Coast time, the Pages that normally sit next to the Home tab above the header of my blog have gone MIA.

Hmmm. I can still see them in the editing plane and using “view this page” but not where they ought to be.

Aha, there you are! Glad to have you back!
And I see that you have a new chapter. I’ll come back later to read it.
