Draft displays only a fraction of what I wrote and saved
-
So I wrote a long blog post and it was auto saving throughout… and I manually saved twice just to make sure before I exited the tab. Now the draft it is showing only a paragraph, and the revisions before it even less than that.
Why is it only showing my earlier saves and none of my later ones? How do I avoid this problem in the future?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

WordPress.com has an autosave feature and you may be able to recover an earlier post revision. Go to Posts > All Posts, hover over the title of the post, click Edit and check the Post Revisions module for previous saved versions of the post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/
If you’re not seeing the Revisions module while on the editor screen, click Screen Options (top right corner of your Admin page) http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ to activate it. Then select the post and page modules to include them. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules Then you ought to be able to go here > Dashboard > All Posts > Posts and locate the post and recover it from post revisions.
If you cannot locate the post for locating and restoring a post revision, and it’s not in your Trash folder http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/ then you will not be able to recover it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash
