    I saved a few drafts of a blog yesterday, but today it was back to a former version and I lost hours of work. Any idea how I can get it back? Thank you!

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

    Hi there. Go to Posts ->All Posts in the dashboard and edit the post from there. In the editor, look for the Revisions module. If you don’t see that module, click on Screen Options and make sure it’s selected. If that draft saved correctly, it should be under your recent versions. If it’s not there, then I’m afraid the draft didn’t save correctly. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/

    To avoid this type of thing from happening in future, always create new posts by going to Posts ->Add New in the dashboard. Save your drafts regularly and make sure the page finishes loading after every refresh before clicking anything.

    An even safer option is to compose your posts offline using a text editor, word processor or an offline blog editor like Windows Live Writer. http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/
