  Your detailed theme description page is at https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/ryu/
  The live demo site is at https://ryudemo.wordpress.com/

  Have you consulted this support doc? https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

  If you have not purchased the Premium upgrade bundle which includes the custom design upgrade, then note that no changes you try out aside from those such as Custom Background, Custom Header, etc. which are stated on the theme description pages in the features column (right hand side) will be visible to visitors.

  See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable Premium bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ that contains a custom design upgrade required for CSS editing. See:
  Custom design – Frequently Asked Questions
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-fonts/

  You do not need to load the design tools unless you have the Custom Design upgrade. All of these functions can be accessed from your dashboard – without loading the custom design tools – no upgrade required.
  Appearance > Header
  Appearance > Background
  Appearance > Theme Options (applicable only to some themes)
  Settings > Reading (set a static front page)
  Site Title and Tagline > Settings > General

  If you are using the preview mode for the Custom Design upgrade some of the settings in that mode will save but they won’t show up on the front end unless you purchase the upgrade.

  To go back to the free options, go to Appearance → Themes → Customize → Colors and click the “exit the preview” link in yellow at the top of the panel on the right.

  If you have purchased the required upgrade then please use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can copy and paste your text into a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need.

  re: recovering a lost post or page
  Please go to https://wordpress.com/post with the same browser and see if it offers to restore a post. If a restore button appears, that means a local copy was saved in your browser and you may be able to recover it.

  The classic editor retains 25 auto-saved post revisions but the new Beep Beep Boop editor does not. The post revision management system is not built into the new Beep Beep Boop editor, so saving the draft saves only the most recent version, but not previous versions.

  In the new Beep Beep Boop editor the most recent version is saved only on your browser, and is not auto-saved to the servers for your blog unless you click the save link once.

  If you are using the new Beep Beep Boop editor please read:

  Features that won’t be included in the new editor

  If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Pages > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needs be.

  To locate draft POSTS Dashboard > Posts > All Post > Drafts
  http://tradewinds009tradewinds9.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post

  To locate draft PAGES Dashboard > Pages> All Pages > Drafts
  http://tradewinds009tradewinds9.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=page

  (If you are referring to a Page then see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-revisions/)

  If you cannot restore from your browser, or locate a revision, or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.

  I recommend:

  1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
  If you have cookies enabled on your browser your preference will be saved unless or until your clear your cookies, and it will take you to the classic editor automatically every time you create a new post via the drop-down menu in the black admin bar or edit a post via the edit button on the blog itself.

  You cannot deactivate the new Beep Beep Boop editor but you do not have to use it. For locating the ways and means of accessing the legacy or classic pages for creating posts, editing posts, and viewing stats see here > Navigating the Classic WordPress.COM interface http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2015/04/05/navigating-the-classic-wordpress-com-interface/

  2. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.

  3. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.

  4. Never leave a post or page open for content creation or editing and walk away from it, or open another tab in the same blog and work on something else while it is still open. Save it properly and return to edit it later.

  5. Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/
