  I pressed the preview button, after writing a long blog, and I got a page that said, ‘this page doesn’t exist.’ When I went back, my entire blog was gone. Why doesn’t it save as it goes? If it does, where can I find my blog, because it’s not anywhere that I can find. So, I just wasted all of that time typing something that isn’t there for me to publish. I wanted to preview it before I published it, but I guess I won’t make that mistake again.

  Hi there!

  Your posts and pages do save automatically, you can read more about that here:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/page-post-revisions/#saving-and-autosave

  What’s the title of the blog post that you were working on?
  I also noticed that you have set your front page to display a static page – if you do not specify which page exactly you’d like to display, the error you mentioned may appear.

  Let me know if you have any more questions regarding that.
