  My post disappears after I post it and then the draft reverts to a previous version even though I have saved the new version three times. I had to switch from Firefox to Chrome when I could no longer edit my photos in Firefox. I first saved the blog as a draft in Firefox but now everything reverts to that version and won’t update.

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

  Hello there,
  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.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/
  See also if applicable > restoring from trash http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash

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

  But if the post was created here http://wordpress.com/#!/post/ there is no means of recovery as the auto-save is not functioning there.

  Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
  The auto-save works there and the post will be Standard post format unless you change it.

  Do not create posts here > http://wordpress.com/#!/post/ where the auto-save is not working and where you are creating an Aside post format.

  Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/
