If you need help please clearly state exactly what it is that you need help with, okay? -
I am so upset right now. I was just about to finish one of my posts to publish and I have no idea what happened but I pressed a combination of keys on my laptop which sent me back to the last webpage I was on. So, of course, when I clicked to go forward to my post it wasn’t there any more. I wasn’t worried because I thought that WordPress automatically saved drafts while you were typing up blogs, but apparently not any more? Because I can’t find a copy of my post anywhere!

If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needs be.

See also if applicable > restoring from trash http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash(If you are referring to a Page then see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-revisions/)
If you cannot locate a revision or restore from Trash the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.
I recommend:
Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add NewAlways allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
Click “save draft” frequently when creating posts or pages.
Never leave a post or page open for content creation or editing and walk away from it. Save it properly and return to edit it later.
Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/

I found the pages you were talking about, but the post I typed is gone. That’s very upsetting since I was working on that post for 2 hours or longer. Sorry, WordPress, but you let me down this time.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. :( Please follow my advice so it doesn’t happen again.
