where are drafts saved?
-
I can’t find my draft after exiting wordpress and then logging in a short while later.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I have had the same problem. I finished a post, hit Preview and it disappeared. Now I cannot find it to publish it to my page. Help!

If and only 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.

See also if applicable > restoring from trash http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trashBut 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/

I also click on Save Draft as soon as I have the title fixed and save draft on a regular basis and after doing major things (like inserting some pictures etc.) I don’t trust Auto Save and sometimes you can get a message that there is a more current version of Auto Save than what you are working with, which can be confusing to deal with – so I save often

I use text editor, usually notepad, to write the post and then paste it in wordpress post. Then I push the text file to “published” folder on my PC. I know it consumes time but I always have the back up of previous posts as well.

Some folks use offline blog editors as they automatically create backups on their own computers.
