How come every time I go to publish a post, it will include any drafts I have sitting there? Is there a way to prevent this? It's frustrating because I try to be ahead of the game and start a few that I know will be in the next few days (i.e., ARF/5-A-Day templates, etc.)., but then it goes and releases them... help?

I'm puzzled because I always have 5-10 drafts saved in Blogger and I've never had this problem. I don't get how publishing one post can cause another one to get published? Tell us more about what exactly is happening.
ReplyDeleteFor example, last week, I had started my ARF/5-A-Day round-up, to get some of the early entries in, and saved it as a draft (this was the day before the post went up). Then Monday night, I did my regular post, published it, then republished the whole blog. I happened to have a typo in the half-started ARF entry that was a draft, and two people e-mailed me that they had gotten my draft in their RSS feed, and to alert me of the typo... that help?
ReplyDeleteI haven't had that problem, but I'm wondering if you can set blogger to publish from a draft and update the date/time stamp so it will sort correctly. Mine come out with the original date, so when I'm ready to publish I have to start a new post & cut & paste from the draft. There must be some kind of setting I'm missing.

ReplyDeleteYou don't have to cut and paste. Below the box where you are typing in your post there is a link called "Post and Comment options"
Clicking that will allow you to reset the time/day to whenever you want.
Thanks. I should have read the instruction manual. Actually, they don't really make it very obvious.
