  I have had 3 blog posts disappear. I’ve received comments on them and when I go to add another post – the post I’m looking for isn’t there. When I click on the link in the email notifications I get when someone comments – I get a message that the content cannot be found.

  This is very frustrating and troubling. the latest one that is missing is entitled Another Loss. A previous draft version (hardly any content) showed up in the “manage my blogs” section but not the actual published version

  thank you for helping.

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

  If and only 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.

  See also if applicable > restoring from trash http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash

  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/
