Help Me Recover a Lost/Deleted Post
-
After posting on my blog I went to write a new entry. I highlighted and deleted the content from the recently posted entry and began anew. After having completed my new blog entry I selected “publish.” It proceeded to post the old content under the new heading and even though I saved my draft several times throughout the course of writing it I cannot seem to locate the new entry. Please help. Thank you.

This makes me wonder if you were, somehow, using the “edit” view of the previously published post. Starting a new post should give you a completely blank post page. There shouldn’t be any existing content.
What were the titles of the old and new posts?

That may have been the case. The old post was “Do Something That Matters” and the new post is “Be Boring.” Like I said when I went to post the “Be Boring” entry it posted the “Do Something That Matters” content but with the “Be Boring” headline. Is there any way to recover what I wrote. I have gone through everything in my trash and can’t find it even though I was saving it throughout.

Sadly, I’m not seeing it anywhere. I was hoping that there was a revision that included the “be boring” text, but if so, I’m not seeing it:

No worries. Thanks for your help Josh. The post was only a page. Even though it will require several more hours of work I have a feeling the new posting will be even better than the original. Cheers.

And a tip for the future, never be afraid to select and copy/paste your post text into a basic text editor program when you are publishing a post if you are worried about a gremlin or glitch unluckily causing it to disappear. I do that a lot with writings that I have put a lot of time into.

Great thanks. Another question while we’re at it. How can I change either the font style and/or size while writing a post in the “edit” view?
