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://theaugustfiles.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
2. Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
3. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.
4. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
5. 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.
6. Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/ -

This is your About page https://theaugustfiles.wordpress.com/ which you have made into the static front page of your blog.

You have two choices on any blog
(1) All posts on the front page.
(2) A static front page and posts on a different page.By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors, who may find it annoying to have to click through the About page to locate your posts.
However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts. To do that create two pages first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.

Hello!
I feel like this thread has been really helpful, in the sense that I’ve learned a whole lot, but my own issue has not been resolved. I have “blog” as a category, rather than a page, in my main menu because it obviously wasn’t working as a page. You can see a preview of the one post I wrote but, upon clicking on “read more”, you’re lead to a blank page.
I’ve already tried to resolve the issue by going into my wp_option and changing my permalink settings, as per the instructions in another thread, but that was also to no avail.
What do you think I’m missing here? :-)

You are in the wrong forum for your version of the software and need to be at WordPress.ORG.
