About six months ago, I wrote a fairly long post and decided to save it as a draft. When I went to the Edit Post area, it wasn't there. (INSERT STREAM OF CUSS WORDS HERE.) I tried to save a few more posts as drafts and they weren't there either.
From time to time over the last six months, I have fiddled with it and written Blogger and searched Blogger Help and Googled the problem but to no avail. Last night, I Googled it again and there was a vague comment on a message board about not being able to save to draft in blogger and fixing the problem using a *drop down menu.*
I went back to the Edit Post area and, sure enough, there is a drop down menu at the top of the page which you can choose to view Everything, Drafts or Current. For some reason, my drop down menu was set on Current. I selected Everything and, by God, there was the draft of the original long post I thought I had lost and all of the experimental drafts I had created over the last six months.
So, if you're having the same problem, "You're welcome."

Thanks! That did happen to me...
And Laurie...two days of non-shopping left before EASTER SUNDAY!!! Yeah!!!
Aisha - Happy Easter (almost)! My first purchase...Spring clothes and shoes! Yee haw!
You're brilliant, as well as beautiful and sort of looking like me.....
You're a genius! I had problems with blogger last week, and I learned the Blogger help system works like this:
1. Send them an email
2. Wait patiently
3. Send another email
4. Lose patience and figure it out yourself.
Peace,
Tim
Soooo, where is the giant posting now?
Lorna - That is because we are true soul sisters.
Tim - No shit. They sent me the weirdest e-mail response which was no help at all. It sort of led me in circles to nowhere land.
Neal - The post wasn't nearly as brilliant as I had imagined. It went in the trash bin. :)
I always copy my posts to Word before publishing and if I was writing a draft would do it on Word as well, as I can't figure out how to post without it publishing on the original date of the edit, meaning a new post from the edit list will be buried under all the posts you published after that date. The other advantage is Word has a better spell checker and also does a grammer check.
Oops, forgot to tell you I stole your Jesus joke in time for Easter and didn't get a single comment about it.
Tanked Up - There is a drop down menu at the bottom of the post screen where you can change the time and date of your post. However, I agree you're much safer using Word.
Glad to hear you didn't get any flack for the Jesus joke. I thought it was hilarious.
