  I see a post from last summer at http://pod88.wordpress.com/2006/07/ . I have never heard of an older blog losing posts before……are they showing up as drafts?

  Only thing you can do is bring this up with staff to find out if they know anything about it. Contact them tomorrow when they open at:

  I can’t see where they can have gone. A google blog search shows only 1 post.

  Unless someone got your password and deleted posts?

  yes, thats the conclusion i had too…what is the normal policy though about storing blogs, how long are they going to be on the servers for? My first thought, before the stolen password theory, was that wordpress cleaned blogs that were inactive.

  wordpress.com stores blogs (at least now) forever. They don’t do anything to clean out blogs that are not in use or in use.

  Try searching using Yahoo. They seem to store cached versions of even quite obscure things forever. If your blog was private, you may well be out of luck though.

  Yes. Please do a forum search for “Red Dashboard” and you’ll find about four other threads on that issue. Post to those threads to alert staff to the fact you’re having the red dashboard issue and they’ll get in and fix it.
