  an autosaved draft of a post I was working on has disappeared.
  After writing a few paragraphs for my FIRST blog post EVER (YAY!), I wanted to add an image, so links led me to get the image uploaded.. then it took me to another tab where it posted the image by itself in a new post, and the one I had written was gone. I’ve searched high & low but cannot find it! :((

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

  Did you write this in the “Blue” dashboard or in your site’s Classic dashboard?

  Regardless, have a look in your site’s Dashboard under Posts>All Posts. There is a link at the top to sort your posts by Published, Drafts, Trash, etc. Click on Drafts.

  Barring that, perhaps you wrote this as a Page accidentally? Have a look under Pages>All Pages. Same as above.

  If that didn’t help, please post back here.

  Yes ma’am, Jennifer. I did all those things. Searched high & low. I even hit the back button on every open tab to look for it. The only thing I didn’t do, that I just thought of was ‘open recently closed tabs.
  I talked to one friend and she said that she writes things out beforehand. So in the future I’ll use Word and then cut & paste. That way I can be more sure of not losing my work.
  Thank you for the suggestions!
