  Everything I wrote dissapeared. I was using the ios app. It crashed at least four times the last time it deleted everything I had done right as i was about to publish! This is my first time using WordPress and I’m feeling very discouraged. Please help!

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

  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.

  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/
