Auto save dis not work? :(
-
Hi sorry to bother you again. I was wondering if there was anyway to get back all of my blog I had typed. It said it had auto saved but my computer shut off on itself and everything is gone. I’m so upset at this I was finally able to get my thoughts in order now they’re gone a whole 5 hours are gone. Can you please help? Thank you
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

WordPress.com has an autosave feature and you may be able to recover an earlier post revision. Go to Posts > All Posts, hover over the title of the post, click Edit and check the Post Revisions module for previous saved versions of the post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/
If you’re not seeing the Revisions module while on the editor screen, click Screen Options (top right corner of your Admin page) http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ to activate it. Then select the post and page modules to include them. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules Then you ought to be able to go here > Dashboard > All Posts > Posts and locate the post and recover it from post revisions.
If you cannot locate the post for locating and restoring a post revision, and it’s not in your Trash folder http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/ then you will not be able to recover it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash
Advice:
Create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog
Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
Do not create posts here > http://wordpress.com/#!/post/Or use an offline blog editor so you always have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/

My blog edits are not being saved, even if I wait for the 2 minutes. There should still be a button for saving drafts that actually works.
The time in my Settings is correct, but the time used to indicate a save is off by 2 hours and 16 minutes, suggesting that the problem is not time-zone related.
I am truly considering abandoning blogging altogether and going back to old fashioned pencil and paper. I am fed up with the continuing trend of seemingly all things computer/software/online/etc. to constantly reinvent the wheel. Things are not becoming simpler, easier or more efficient, they are becoming cluttered, controlling, generally convoluted and a pain the butt.

P.S.
The time indicating a save is also stuck in place—it is not changing time as time goes by. -
It is now two hours later and the Preview option has disappeared from the edit page.
The “Distraction Free Writing Mode” is a good idea, but it would be nice to be able to go from here to a Preview, and to have a complete tool bar available.
After saving manually (thank goodness this option exists in this mode), the saves do not carry over to the original edit mode, which one must do in order to access the tool bar to center, etc., and to bring up a Preview. It was when I returned to the original edit mode for these purposes, only to discover that the Preview option no longer exists (it was there two hours ago).
