  Good Morning,

  I typed up a huge post last night, it was gigantic, I saw how many times the draft saved. When I was done it posted, I looked THE WHOLE thing over…. I saw that it was all there’s at 3am EST

  but now the whole post is gone. I don’t know what to do. Only the first paragraph is there and I don’t understand. I looked for the drafts, but the drafts are gone, I looked everywhere. I don’t understand how it told me I posted (approaching) my 3500 blog post and now it’s gone.

  please help me … I don’t understand. you have the servers I don’t.

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

  Hello there,
  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.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/
  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/)

  But if the post was created here http://wordpress.com/#!/post/ there is no means of recovery as the auto-save is not functioning there.

  Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
  The auto-save works there and the post will be Standard post format unless you change it.

  Do not create posts here > http://wordpress.com/#!/post/ where the auto-save is not working and where you are creating an Aside post format.

  Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/
