Blog Erased
-
Yesterday I wrote a blog and I posted the link on my Facebook. Today I wrote a new blog. I don’t know what happened but when I published the new one, the first one disappeared. Now on my stats page the new blog’s name is in its place, and when I go back and click on the link I posted for it on my Facebook it brings me to the new blog I just posted.
I don’t want this blog to be gone forever! What happened and where can I find it to bring it back?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello there,
To locate draft POSTS Dashboard > Posts > All Post > Drafts
http://leah14rose.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=postTo locate draft PAGES Dashboard > Pages> All Pages > Drafts
http://leah14rose.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=pageProvided you did not create the post in the new Beep Beep Boop editor where it’s saved only on your browser, and is not auto-saved to the servers for your blog you may be able to recover a lost post or page.
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.

I recommend:
1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
2. Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
3. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.
4. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
5. Never leave a post or page open for content creation or editing and walk away from it, or open another tab in the same blog and work on something else while it is still open. Save it properly and return to edit it later.
6. Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/If you cannot locate a revision or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.

Thank you so much, it’s all fixed! I created it on the new editor but luckily when I went back to the old one I found the draft when it got switched to the new piece and was able to restore the original and create a new one for the new piece. Thank you!!!
