  I’ve spend about two minutes re-posting two posts that aren’t showing up on my blog. I’ve checked the publish time to make sure it’s not the future; and regardless it’ll say it published the “14th post” which should be 15th, then momentarily show a published preview, but return in my drafts. It’s pretty frustrating. Hoping you can help- as a blog that doesn’t post the blog doesn’t seem very helpful…lol.

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

  Are you sure you are aware of the differences between Pages and Posts?
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  If and only 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.

  See also if applicable > restoring from trash http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash

  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/
