    I published a blog post this morning and the “same” post is now the original draft I made. Now I have to go back and make all the same edits I made yesterday? Is there a way to get the finalized post (the one I published this morning) back?

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

    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 your blog I can help you with this.

    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.

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

    I recommend:

    1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
      Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
    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/

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