Thanks, after I made my original post, I did some checking around and discovered that my posts need to be approved. I did not get a pop up thugh telling me that, must be a setting of mine.
I also had already tried going to my profile and clicking to see how many posts I had made, but since they were not approved yet they did not show up as posts I had made, so that wasn't helping me. Now I am back a few days later and they are showing up. Thanks.
