  Found it! Its the tiny house icon in the top right of the my sites page which will take you to your dashboard. Then on the left hand side ‘Posts’ then ‘All Posts’ and it should take you to your posts with sections about saying All|Puslished|Draft (1)

  To locate draft posts > Dashboard > Posts > All Post > Drafts

  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 I can help you with this.

  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.

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

  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/

  If you cannot locate a revision or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.
