A quick tip for when you're working on a writing an article for your blog. Before hitting save, check the "posting status" drop down to "draft" (if you're using Typepad). This will stop your post from being published (live) before you intend it to be.
To have this setting be your default, which I highly recommend:
- Go to the "configure" tab above
- Click preferences
- Scroll to New Post and select "draft".
When you're ready to publish your article, change the drop down under posting status under your article to "publish now". You can also opt to "publish later". I schedule future posts when a topic is about something in the future (such as a holiday) or if I have written a couple of posts and I want to "stretch" them out instead of publishing them all on the same day.
One last tip... before you hit "publish", I encourage you to use the spell check tool (it's right under the "compose post" tab).
Happy Blogging!
