In Write A Post we showed you how to easily write a new blog post. While that was very easy, you may have noticed two additional buttons next to the Publish button.

The first one is Save and Continue Editing. This one allows you to save your post periodically. You should click this button if you spending more than a few minutes composing a post as you would not want to lose any information should your browser crash.

In Save A Post we showed you how to save a post for later editing.

Once a post has been saved, you can preview it by clicking the Preview link in the top right of your screen, just above the area where you write your post content. This link opens up a new window to show you what your post will look like when it is published.

In Save A Post we showed you how to save a post for later editing. You can always go back and manage what you have written in your blog.

Click on the Manage tab in the top left of your administration window. This will present you with a screen to manage your work.

You can easily search for text, both published and non-published (draft) content, by using the search box at the top left of this screen. You can also browse by category or manualy review your work by date.
