  I saw on one of the wordpress support pages that you can find revisions as a way of getting a lost post. Unfortunately, I can’t find the ‘revisions’ option anywhere. I spent a lot of time on it and it appears that what posted was the generic ‘Hello World’ post that I started mine from. I know that I saved my draft before closing out.

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

  Some computer users are operating under conditions where they might experience a crash or loss of power, etc. Those users may have a better experience using the WordPress “Classic Editor,” which has more features than the default editor. This includes better crash recovery.

  To edit an existing post using the Classic Editor, add this to your basic URL:

  wp-admin/edit.php

  So if your blog is Funny Dog Pics and your basic URL is

  https://funnydogpics.wordpress.com/

  then to get to the Classic Editor the URL would be:

  https://funnydogpics.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php

  You can also compose a new post using the Classic Editor like this:

  https://funnydogpics.wordpress.com/

  plus

  wp-admin/post-new.php

  equals

  https://funnydogpics.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php

  In the Classic Editor, you should see Revisions if you scroll down near the bottom of the page.

  Personally, I always compose my posts in a text processor on my local computer and save multiple revisions with ascending version numbers. Then I paste the text into WordPress and do the formatting. I’ve never lost any content.
