Draft work deleted when pressing Save Draft Button, is it retrievable?
-
While writing my draft I clicked save draft to save it. It asked me if I was sure I wanted to do this to which I thought what a strange question so I clicked continue or yes. Anyway, I lost the writing that I had done on the draft this evening. Is it retrievable?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It may be retrievable, ruthe8 .
Go to your ‘Posts’ page. At the top of your post listings you should see the option ‘Trash’. Click there.
If you see your draft there in ‘Trash’. Hooray! Click ‘Restore’ and you will see your draft back on your ‘Posts’ page, ready for editing.
If you don’t see your draft there… It’s gone. And that stinks. Sorry.

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.

I recommend:
Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/
Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links. -
