    Hi –

    I had a new post “Pedal to the Mental” that I worked on and left up overnight. I can find NO autosaved versions of this post. Could you help me find the post please? I realize the final version may be lost but there should at least be earlier versions of the draft. When I hit the final “Save Draft”, it vanished from the screen! HELP!!!!

    Thanks!

    Kristi Koons

    P.S. The calendar date on my posts is always a day later than the actual date. Can we fix this as well?

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

    The default timezone is UTC time. You can reset your timezone here > Settings > General Select the closest city to you in the same timezone in the drop-down menu you see there and then click “save changes”

    You may not be able to recover the post. 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.

    Hello!

    If I understand you correctly, you are seeking assistance in finding your draft post?

    If so try a couple options
    1. In the Dashboard–>Post check to see if the post was not accidentally filed under “Draft”, “Sticky” or “Trash”.
    See restoring posts from trash: http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash
    2. Check to see if the post actually published. Even though the screen went blank the post may have published.
    3. Try clearing your browser’s cache OR using a different web browser.
