New members, and using drafts

We have a few new people on board. Most of them are lurking, but at least one is posting...

Say Hi to Jack, everyone. ; )

When you utilize the draft functionality of Blogspot, be mindful of the date on your post. If you write a post and save it as a draft, you are saving that post -with the date-. So if you draft up something on the 6th, then go back two days later and finish it on the 8th and post it to the blog, it will still have the date of the 6th "attached" to it. If people have posted anything since the 6th, your shiny new post won't be at the top.

New posts not being at the top usually is not a problem, as all the posts "at the top" are "new". But if there is more than a few days lag between your draft and when you post it ( and you don't update the date ) then your post might get missed.

And that would Bite. thank you again, Blogspot.

If this doesn't make sense, email me and I'll explain it better : ) If you notice when you post something that it doesn't go to the top, let me know, and I'll fix it.


I mention this because Jack's first post was drafted on the 6th, but posted today. It is not on top, so it seems like it's "missing".

Bleh.

And welcome, Jack. : )
