    hi, I was in the middle of writing a post, but then It would not let me type any more! Why why why! I thought that you could blog as much as you want! So I thought I’d continue it over two posts so I pressed save and now I can’t find it! Is there some sort of saved area?!
    HEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP!!!!

    P.s. Please visit my blog! Comments are very welcome!

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

    To locate drafts Dashboard > Posts > All Post > Drafts
    http://quirkyquirkyme.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post

    Provided 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 I can help you with this.

    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/)

    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.

    Stop using support threads for blog promotion purposes. It’s not allowed and I’m tired of rabbit hopping from thread to thread to tell you that again and again.
