Very, very unhappy
-
In a moment of insanity, I actually trusted WordPress to back up my typing. Well, I got shafted totally. Wiped out a full blog entry. If you want people to buy your product, why does your product ERASE what was typed? Why does it wipe out blog entries. There is NOTHING in the draft. Zip. So, Merry Christmas as I retype my blog entry using something other than WordPress that cannot be trusted.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Perhaps you did not do a forum tag search for recovering a lost post or page or use Google search.
re: https://watchingthewatchersofdeniers.wordpress.com/
The Admin login link for that site is
https://watchingthewatchersofdeniers.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
The saved draft posts are found at
https://watchingthewatchersofdeniers.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=postThe saved draft pages are found at
https://watchingthewatchersofdeniers.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=pageStaff are working on improving post and page revisions. The most recent 25 revisions are available for posts and pages.
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/
If you were using the app you could report that here https://apps.wordpress.org/support/

My apologies for not doing whatever search I was supposed to do.
Not finding anything in the trash, etc, I am going with my first belief—never, ever trust WordPress for editing and composing. Reading your reply, especially #4 and #5 tells me all I need to know.
I will save this page for future reference and I do appreciate your taking the time to answer.
