  Today I worked for an hour on my blog (http://gerryco23.wordpress.com/) on the post ‘Treme season 2’ (http://wp.me/poJrg-1Z8) thinking that saves were taking place regularly in the background, but when I went to save the draft manually I had to log in. After doing this I discovered none of my work had been saved, yet at the foot of the editing screen it states ‘Draft saved at 4:21:27 pm.
