How Do I? Help with bloggity blog blogging

[ashockney]

Hey all! First time posting in meta...ooooooo

So, I've got a blog. My third post has like 100 views. (Woot!), and I created a fourth and fifth post (draft) trying to work ahead a little. I can't figure out how to post them. They may even already be posted, with just no views. And if so, how did that happen? Thoughts? Support? Help? Advice?

If you look at your blog posts, you can tell which ones are in draft status because they'll have an icon (pen & paper) next to the title. I think the ones you're talking about are.

To post them, you need to Edit your post. Click on the Advanced button. Under Additional Options, specifically Miscellaneous options, you can pick from the drop down whether or not to Publish Now, Publish at a certain time or leave it in draft status. Clicking the Save Changes button in the Additional Options section will then publish your blog for the community to see (assuming you choose that option).

Hope that helps.

Looking at your blog, I currently see 4 posts (the two most recent being about a week old).

To see your drafted one, like Elodan said, when you go to the blog section, there is a link on the left for "your blog" (or something like that it will lead you to EN World D&D / RPG News - ashockney ) and then on the left you'll see a section called drafts (1) when you click on that you'll see which are in draft status (that option won't be there if there are no drafts).

When you go in to the editing of a drafted one, down near the bottom there is a drop down box for "publish now" "publish on ..." (which will give you a calendar for a timed publication) and "draft blog" . you'll want to switch draft blog to publish now.

That was perfect. I went into the "edit post" on the draft a bunch of times, but never messed around in the "go advanced" section. That was the trick!

I appreciate it, as always, ENWorld to the rescue!
