  I just typed out a full blog post, and when it listed, it was blank. Just the title is what posted. I was looking for a draft, but there does not appear to be one saved. The post was called Life Lately (Announcements). Did I lose all the work?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Oh no! That sounds like very bad news.
  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.

  (If you are referring to a Page then see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-revisions/)

  I recommend:
  Always create your posts ONLY on the dashboard of your own blog at
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
  Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
  Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/
