    Yesterday I posted a new article to my blog. As of this morning the only place I can find it is on my facebook page. Also on the dashboard it only shows two past posts. What am I missing?

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

    There is a long standing issue Staff are aware of if you use the new post editor for creating or editing posts.

    Provided you did not create the post in the new Beep Beep Boop editor where it’s saved only on your browser, and is not auto-saved to the servers for your blog you may be able to recover a lost post or page.

    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.

    To locate draft POSTS Dashboard > Posts > All Post > Drafts
    http://sippwriter.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post

    To locate draft PAGES Dashboard > Pages> All Pages > Drafts
    http://sippwriter.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=page

    (If you are referring to a Page then see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-revisions/)

    If you cannot locate a revision or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.

    I recommend:

    1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
    Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
    If you have cookies enabled on your browser your preference will be saved unless or until your clear your cookies, and it will take you to the classic editor automatically every time you create a new post via the drop-down menu in the black admin bar or edit a post via the edit button on the blog itself.

    2. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.

    3. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.

    4. Never leave a post or page open for content creation or editing and walk away from it, or open another tab in the same blog and work on something else while it is still open. Save it properly and return to edit it later.

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