  Wrote a post last night.
  WP kept telling me it was *saving*my draft as I went along.
  I finished writing, and hit “publish.”
  Computer churns for several minutes.
  I get disgusted with waiting and go to bed.

  This morning I go to check on my post and find:
  ONE revision which contains maybe 10% of my final post content
  NO published post.
  NO sign of my LOST content.

  WTF?

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

  Have you checked your Trash? If you cannot restore a more current a post revision and it’s not in your Trash folder http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/ then you will not be able to recover it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash

  Did you create your post on the dashboard of your own blog?
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New

  Or did you create your post on the front page of WordPress.com?
  http://wordpress.com/#!/post/

  Advice:
  Create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New

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