Lost draft
-
I just spent about 5 hours working on my blog post and it somehow just disappeared as I was trying to preview it. I saved the draft but I can find no copy of it anywhere. Does anyone know how I might find it or has it gone forever? I want to cry! Please help!!!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

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
Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/
Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links. -
I still can’t find it anywhere. Does that mean it is gone for good? I will remember not to post from the WordPress page again. Maybe you should warn people that if they create a post that way, they might lose it. I didn’t realise this. I will definitely use my dashboard in future and use an offline blog editor, although I had never heard of one of those. Oh well, back to the drawing board…<sob>!
