This seems to be a random occurrence effecting only some blogs , whilst totally leaving many blogs alone. Follow the following steps to restore your editor in wordpress 3.3 , to ensure that you are back up and posting you must follow in the exact order as detailed below.

5 Steps to restore your visual editor in WordPress 3.3

2. Now through your wordpress admin panel go into users , click on your username and edit settings , at the top you will see the area to enable or disable the visual editor , click on this to disable , yet definately disable this visual editor for the time being.

3. Now through the wordpress admin panel go into your posts and click on one of them to edit , you should now see your text in the post , this will be in Html format , exit out of this area back to the main admin area.

4. Click on appearance and change your theme to Twenty Eleven , active the theme and click F5 to clear the cache. Once you have done this now go back into your user settings , edit your profile and enable the visual editor , always remember to save your settings at the bottom of the screen.

5. Again click on one of your posts to edit and you should now see the visual editor has begun working , exit out of this area back to the main admin area and change your theme back to the original theme that you were using.
