total content of draft disappeared
-
Hi. I saved a draft and when I opened it again everything except the title disappeared. The weird thing is when I look at the list of draft the GIF I used is still there. Is there a way to recover a previous draft? Thanks
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you cannot restore from your browser, or locate a revision, or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.
re: recovering a lost post or page
Please go to https://wordpress.com/post with the same browser and see if it offers to restore a post. If a restore button appears, that means a local copy was saved in your browser and you may be able to recover it.If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Pages > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needed.

I recommend:
1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
Dashboard > Posts > Add New and pages at Dashboard > Pages > 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/

Hi Guys, I lost a draft of a blog post this morning, I attempted to preview it and the screen kind of froze. I closed it thinking the draft would be saved, but I couldn’t find it again. Is there any way of retrieving it?

Hi Everyone…Anyone?, I lost a draft of a blog post yesterday, I attempted to preview it and the screen kind of froze. I closed it thinking the draft would be saved, but I couldn’t find it again. Is there any way of retrieving it?
My blog is: https://therongolianstar.com
I fully appreciate that the world will not necessarily be greater if my fine writing is restored, but if any clever folk out there who would like to save the day by rescuing my draft, I promise to reciprocate by going out onto the hard streets of Tokyo and saving a kitten.
