  I cannot find any autosaved copy. I worked on my last blog piece for over half an hour August 7, 2012, but there is no pop-up banner offering me the chance to look at revision. There does not appear to be anything to pull down or display or …anything. Please advise

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

  If the post is listed in Posts > All Posts, hover over its title, click Edit, and check the Revisions module for a previous saved version. If you’re not seeing the Revisions module while on the post editor screen, click Screen Options (top right) to enable it.

  Note that this glitch has been going on for months. In the future better avoid using drafts: when you start a new post, write a couple of words, set the visibility to private, publish the post, continue editing and updating, turn to public when finished.
