  On September 27 I posted a blog entitled “Playa: Sept 11 through Sept 25” on southeastmain.wordpress.com . That blog posting has completely disappeared. I get a 404 message when I try to find it through secondary postings, like Facebook. It has disappeared from my list of posts. Do you have a back-up to find it?

  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/

  If you are referring to this site http://www.juneunderwood.com/weblog/ then it’s not a free hosted WordPress.COM blog and we do not provide support for it.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org have different log-ins and run different versions of themes with same names.

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
