Draft Post just gone.
-
I finished writing a post and clicked preview to see what it looks like. The link that it shows is blank, there is nothing but a title!
I go back to my Posts and click the draft post and its all gone there as well.
I go to revisions and the last revision is two hours ago with only one paragraph. (What happened to everything in betweenMy wordpress blog is hosted on wordpress.com. What happened to my post? Why doesn’t it have the last two hours of edits?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hey there –
I would first check your post revisions:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/I would also check the trash folder:

TT has some good advice to:
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. -

Why are you using the “code” box for quotes?1. Simply post a link like this https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/i-am-looking-for-a-draft-that-i-just-saved-where-do-i-find-my-drafts?replies=2#post-1452716
2. Or post a quote with the link like 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.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/
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/

I have already tried checking past revisions however the period from the blank post to the last post is two hours (there were seemingly no saved revisions in between).
As for Posts it only shows the options for All Posts(1) or Drafts(1). That post is the one I’m trying to recover when I click on it it shows the title but says there are 0 words.

As for making the post I signed up and it said hey make your first post so I did and then an error occurred (when I hit cmd left arrow instead of going home on mac is went back a page). I went to my drafts clicked on the draft that it saved (link took me to http://nibbleofbits.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=2&action=edit ) I then wrote the rest of the post (this is the two hours that are missing from the revisions page.
After writing the post I wanted to preview it so clicked the preview link. The link it showed me was empty there was nothing but a title and an ad. I quickly hit back in my browser to try again. It took me back to the edit page (http://nibbleofbits.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=2&action=edit) and thats when I found the post to now be empty.

Bottom line: If you cannot find a post revision with contents that your can restore and you cannot find the post in your Trash and restore it from there then it’s gone forever.

Dang well ok. Thanks currently checking out blogger maybe that will work better for me. Thanks

Thank you though it isn’t your fault haha. I’m just surprised they haven’t fixed such issues as from my googling there were a LOT of posts on it with little other information then check revisions or check trash. Oh well. I guess I’ll try looking for a desktop blogging client.
