lost draft
-
I usually do my drafts in the relevant blog when working on my laptop but today I used the WP dashboard “new post” with the pencil icon as I was working on my ipad. What I hadn’t realised is that I hadn’t listed which blog it had to go to. I did save it, then went to another safari page, and when I came back it had vanished.
I’ve looked under drafts in my various blogs but have been unable to find it by content, tag or date.
I suspect it is now lost, but if anyone has a solution I’d be very grateful
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings …
If and only 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.

See also if applicable > restoring from trash http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash(If you are referring to a page then see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-revisions/)
But if the post was created here http://wordpress.com/#!/post/ there is no means of recovery as the auto-save is not functioning there.
Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
The auto-save works there and the post will be Standard post format unless you change it.Do not create posts here > http://wordpress.com/#!/post/ where the auto-save is not working and where you are creating an Aside post format.
Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/
