  Hi, I just went back to update a post and found that the second half of it is not there. I tried looking in revisions but I couldn’t see the missing text and got this message: Sorry, something went wrong. The requested comparison could not be loaded.

  The post in question is http://kcmurdarasi.com/2013/04/21/reading-corrupts-watching-tv-corrupts-absolutely/

  It finishes at a comment about “The Change Up”, but it should go on to talk about “How I Met Your Mother”.

  Is there anything that can be done, or do I just have to rewrite it?

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

  If and only 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 here > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/03/21/wordpress-recovering-a-lost-blog-post-or-page/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/

  But if it 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/
