When you delete an e-mail its quite possible to recover from the Trash folder unless deleted permanently, but by default blogger interface doesn't have any such folder to recover the deleted post. so recovering the data back to blog turned complex, but actually its easy to retrieve back if you know the trick.
How to restore deleted post back to blog ?
Google search engines crawl article posted frequently, index them and saves a cache version of the page, and keeps on updating it. we have numerous possible choices to retrieve it back.
- With Google Cache
- Draft Post
- Feed Burner
- Way2back machine
Whenever a blog article is posted, often search engine will make a cache version of the page, which will be updated in a regular time interval, which has all the information about the particular URL last appeared on site before deletion.
To find the deleted blog post Url:
- Type site:yourblogname.blogspot.com in google search engine.
- (Note: if you know the url simply type cache:yourblogurl in search page or address bar directly to open cache version)
- The above search query(site:yourblogname.blogspot.com) will list all the blog post indexed by google, select the blog post from the list. (or else)

Publishing the cache version of deleted blog post/page:

- Press ctrl+u (or) right click and select view source at cache version of the page.
