CHAPTER 15 STARTING TO BLOG AND BUILDING (Web hosting)
CHAPTER 15 STARTING TO BLOG AND BUILDING YOUR COMMUNITY 405 If they see the notification of your story, they might just come and visit. Similarly, the authors and readers of blogs on which you comment in your posts will likely see your Pingback or TrackBack (they are often displayed as comments on the blog) and visit your site to see what you might have to say. Tip Almost by definition, people reading other blogs on the subjects about which you write are likely to be interested in your blog. Pingback and TrackBack notifications are great ways to get those people to visit your site. Saving a Draft Post If you need to look up something, or perhaps just want to take a break from editing your post, you can save it as a draft. Click the Save as Draft button below the main edit area. This saves your post in the database, without publishing it for the world to see. This allows you the luxury of taking your time to put together your content. It also has the side effect of making your post safe from browser crashes and the like, just as when you save a word processor document periodically while you are working on it. WordPress will remind you of your saved drafts on the administration pages. On the Write Post and Manage Posts pages (accessed by clicking Write and Manage on the administration pages, respectively), the list of saved drafts is presented just below the second-level tab area. On the Dashboard, the list of drafts is presented at the bottom of the page. Clicking the title of the draft opens that post in the main edit area, ready for you to continue. It also puts you into Advanced Editing mode, which I ll cover in just a moment. Saving a Private Post If you save a post as private, the post will be visible only to you. If you are logged in to the blog, you will see the post on the main blog page, as well as in the administration interface. No one else will see the post, even if they are logged in. Not even an administrator will see those posts through the blog or the administration pages. You might want to use private posts as personal diary entries. Another possible use is to share a login with someone so that you both can see those posts, but no one else can view them. Using Advanced Post Editing Options If you click the Advanced Editing button while writing a post, you will find yourself in Word- Press s Advanced Editing mode. You ll also be in this mode when you click the title of a saved draft post to edit it. Advanced Editing mode offers you more control over your post than the standard Write Post page. Figure 15-5 shows the top of the Write Post page in Advanced Editing mode. The advanced features are added to the standard Write Post page in separate areas, so that the page remains understandable. Advanced Mode adds Discussion and Password options, an Excerpt field, plus a set of Advanced options grouped together at the foot of the page, described later in this section.
