  I just spent over two hours working on a post. I saved as I went along and when I finally had it perfect I pressed publish and it disappeared!

  Welcome to the wacky world of wordpress. It’s happened to me five times already, yet I still haven’t learned. For better results, always hit Ctrl-C (to copy the text) before you hit publish. Or better yet: write it all offline first.

  This link will take you to a review of the offline editors that work with wordpress.com. I started using one after my first lost post and have not used the wordpress.com editor hardly at all since. Several of them are free and I would suggest giving them a look. With offline editors you will always have a copy of each post on your hard drive for safety, and you can post directly from them. They will even upload images without you having to go to the upload section on the write > post page.
