  Hi,

  I had almost finished a rather long post when I left my laptop for a moment, when I returned the page had closed! I reopened but all content has been lost, any advice would be really appreciated.
  Perhaps WordPress has a way of retrieving this information?

  Thanks.

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

  You may be able to recover an earlier Post Revision. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/ 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. 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.
