Can't find draft after failing to post.
-
I posted this morning and the site would not allow me to publish. Now, when I search for draft, I cannot find it.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

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/

Thanks a lot, timethief; though I did actually lose the post, I learned a lot from your comment about how to manage posts in the future.

I’m so sorry you lost it. I’ve been there and know how you feel. Best wishes for better outcomes.

Thanks. Already rewritten. And maybe the rewrite is better than the lost draft anyway. One never know. . . . Good luck to you as well.
