Disappearing drafts
-
So for the first time ever, I was looking at someone’s blog and decided to use the “Quick Post” feature at the top to write my week’s blog post. I wrote a couple paragraphs it’s entitle “Publishing is Hard” I had a link in the post and even uploaded a picture.
I click on save draft a few times as I was typing, and once more before I click on “close” and went back to “My Blogs” so I can reset the picture as a “featured picture” but when I go to “posts” the draft is no where to be found.
Great.

If and only 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/)
But if the post was created here http://wordpress.com/#!/post/ there is no means of recovery as the auto-save is not functioning there.
Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
The auto-save works there and the post will be Standard post format unless you change it.Do not create posts here > http://wordpress.com/#!/post/ where the auto-save is not working and where you are creating an Aside post format.
Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/

This bug has been going on for a VERY long time. They should either eliminate the button or…no, they should eliminate the button.
