  If I was adding something to a Draft, and somehow lost the content that was already there…and did NOT hit save draft, or publish…is there anyway to retrieve the work? ???

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

  I’m sorry it took me so long to get back I had a resource hog program on and too many tabs and windows open and crashed my computer.

  The autosave happens every 2 minutes and all you have to do is locate the draft post and there will be post revisions. See here for illustrated explanation >

  Go to the Edit posts screen and see if you can find the draft post.

  If you can’t find it there then it will be in the Trash and you can restore it.
