Advice for Posting

| 3 Comments | 0 TrackBacks

One thing you should notice is how your posts look a bit messed up if you are copying and pasting from Word. Our advice is to just type your posts here in the blog ... we'd like you to get into the habit of writing in this space and opening something like Word sort of defeats the purpose. Something to consider using is the One Button Post bookmarklet in your browser.

A big tip we can offer is that you change the Publishing Status to Unpublished and click Save often. That way if you take a long time between starting to write and publishing you won't lose your work. Another strategy I use is that I always copy all the text I've just written before I try to publish it. At any rate, you should at least start to write in this space where appropriate and see how it works for you. This is what the Unpublished option looks like ...

Thanks for the heads up on not pasting from Word!

Is there a way to edit posts/comments that you've published?

Hi Nicole, no you cannot edit your comments. But you have total control over comments that people leave on posts you author. I know it less than perfect, but that's it.
