I lost a quick draft and wonder if it is autosaved somewhere so I can recover it
-
I started a quick draft and when I clicked tools it vanished – how do I get it back? I did a search and people talk about it being in a autosave somewhere, but I cannot find any link to an autosave. Is this for premium members only? It was one of the best things I have written and REALLY would love to have it back. HELP!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you cannot locate a revision or restore from Trash the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.
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.

I recommend:
- Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New - Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.
- Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
- Never leave a post or page open for content creation or editing and walk away from it, or open another tab in the same blog and work on something else while it is still open. Save it properly and return to edit it later.
- Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/
