Everything I saved today is missing from the post I was just writing.
-
I’ve lost content that was saved – a good 7000 words at least to a post (The Good Wife: Red Zone). My computer got turned off accidentally and now when the post comes up, there’s no autosaves or more recent draft than the one I’d made yesterday, when at worst there should be lots of them. Please tell me there’s some way to get that back!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

To locate draft posts Dashboard > Posts > All Post > Drafts
http://relativelyentertaining.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=postProvided you did not create the post in the new Beep Beep Boop editor where it’s saved only on your browser, and is not auto-saved to the servers for your blog I can help you with 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.

I recommend:
1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
2. Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
3. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.
4. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
5. Never leave a post or page open for content creation or editing and walk away from it, or open another tab in the same blog and work on something else while it is still open. Save it properly and return to edit it later.
6. Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/If you cannot locate a revision or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.
