  Hi! I have a five-part series scheduled to post over five weeks. Can I link the drafts together (i.e., to the previous post) before each goes public? (I’m afraid I’ll forget to do so b/c each is already scheduled and ready to go.

  Thanks for your help!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I think you will need to adjust the URLs in the links when you publish them. In my experience, when you create a draft page it has a URL reflecting the date when you created it, but when you actually publish it that changes to the publication date. So links using the previous URL will not work.

  Had a feeling that’s the way it goes. Thanks for your help. Guess I’ll have to write myself a few reminders :)
