Where is my text?
-
I was working for the whole day on an article and when I finally posted it and … there was no text. It was not only me who couldn’t see any text, but no one. It is even missing in my drafts! So where is it? How can it be restored?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You may be able to recover a post revision. Go to Posts > All Posts, hover over the title of the post, click Edit and check the Post Revisions module for previous saved versions of the post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/
If you’re not seeing the Revisions module while on the editor screen, click Screen Options (top right corner of your Admin page) http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ to activate it. Then select the post and page modules to include them. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules Then you ought to be able to go here > Dashboard > All Posts > Posts and locate the post and recover it from post revisions.
If you cannot locate the post for locating and restoring 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
Advice:
Create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog
Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
Do not create them here > http://wordpress.com/#!/post/Or use an offline blog editor so you always have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/

Thank you for your quick and detailed answer.
However, my post is still missing. Although I saved it as a draft many times as I was writing it, not a single draft is available. -
I’m sorry to hear that because if you cannot find a post revision and there isn’t a copy in your Trash you have reached a dead end. You have to create the post again.
