That is very good to know; I hadn't found that before!

What I'm wondering--and maybe I'm crazy for even thinking of this--is whether you can revert back to a previous revision of the entire blog. Or can you only revert back to previous posts in isolation?

In other words, are any versions of the blog as a whole autosaved or saveable?

Thanks,
Kathy

There is an autosave feature and will store the last 25 revisions for each post or page on your blog. Revisions allow you to look back at the recent changes you’ve made and revert to an earlier version if necessary.

Thanks for your reply. Really what I'm wondering is if there's any way to save "drafts" of your entire blog?

I know it's a living website, but I get really nervous about messing something up and not being able to revert back to the way it was.

Can I save previous versions somehow? Apart from exporting the entire blog and saving it that way?

If I mess up when editing something, can I revert back? I haven't found an "undo"/ctrl+z function in the dashboard.

Thanks,
Kathy

Advice:
When you start a new page or post, add the title, set it to private and then publish it. When you are done with the page or post, set it back to publish and update it. The problem with apages and posts disappearing when saved as a draft has been around for a while, but only seems to hit a small number of people randomly.

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.
