where is the post I just wrote?
-
When I hit the publish button on my latest post, I got an “invalid response” message. I can’t find my post in saved drafts. Help!
Blog url: http://lindaricke.wordpress.com/The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Do you have any better luck if you post via Posts -> Add New in your blog’s Dashboard instead?

I’m not sure if I am familiar with that, but I’ll look at it. I went ahead and rewrote the post while I could remember most of it. I got it published. I guess that’s the important thing. Maybe I should write my posts in MSWord and copy them to wordpress.com.

I was in the process of putting a title on it when it disappeared. I think it was family matters. BUT…when I had to rewrite the post I gave it the title of family matters.

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:
When you start a new post, add the title, set it to private and then publish it. When you are done with the post, set it back to publish and update it as justpi has said. The other choice is to get and use an offline blog client such as Windows Live Writer (Windows) or Ecto (Mac) and then everything is saved on your computer and when you are done with the post, you actually publish it directly from the blog client software. See here for offline blog editors so you don’t have to go through this again http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc -
Is http://lindaricke.wordpress.com/2012/08/15/family-matters-2/ the post you were referring to? There are also two others titled the same in your Trash sub-section.

I know about those. The original post appears to be permanently lost. I’m glad I went & rewrote it from what I remembered that same day. I won’t be writing in the quick post format again. The items in the trash are not the post but experiments with seeing how items end up in the trash folder.
