  Hello,

  I just finished typing a new blog. I went to post it and the text is identical to the blog I posted yesterday. Nowhere can I find the text I spent the last hour typing. There is no draft or anything even though I was saving it. I am really distraught. Can anybody help?

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

  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

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

  If you cannot find the post/page in revisions or in Trash then it’s gone and cannot be recovered.

  I recommend:
  Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New

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

  Never leave a post open for content creation or editing and walk away from it. Save it and log out of WordPress.com properly.

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