  I wrote a blog, but I did not save the draft. When I went to the post the blog, it said that it hadn’t worked, and it gave me a “Try again” button, which was the only button on the screen. I clicked it, and I lost my draft and the post did not make it to my page. I am upset that I lost this, and I’m wondering if there is some way for me to find it, if it was sent to someone of some part of the page. I wrote it and attempted to post it Monday (March 18) night, around midnight.

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

  Go to Posts > All Posts, hover over the title of the post, click Edit and check the Post Revisions module for previous saved versions of the post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/

  If you’re not seeing the Revisions module while on the editor screen, click Screen Options (top right corner of your Admin page) http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ to activate it. Then select the post and page modules to include them. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules Then you ought to be able to go here > Dashboard > All Posts > Posts and locate the post and recover it from post revisions.

  If you cannot locate the post for locating and restoring a post revision, and it’s not in your Trash folder http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/ then you will not be able to recover it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash

  Did you create your post on the dashboard of your own blog?
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New

  Or did you create your post on the front page of WordPress.com?
  http://wordpress.com/#!/post/

  Advice:
  Create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
  
  Or use an offline blog editor so you always have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/
