  I am a new (started yesterday!) blogger to wordpress. So… I am not sure what happened to the blog I wrote yesterday.! What is on my site now is the draft or first post I wrote before making revisions. Supposedly, the “revised” post was published. ??? However, it seems it’s lost. What happened to it? How can I retrieve it, as that is the blog I want to share –not the draft that’s currently on my blog site.

  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.

  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/)

  I recommend:
  Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
  Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
  Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/
