Published? I didn’t want to publish yet; I wanted to save a draft!
-
I just signed up, and set to work on my first post yesterday. I hit the “save and continue editing” button and left it unfinished, as what I thought was a draft. The problem is…it appears to have published that way. How do I keep something as a draft until it’s ready to be published? Should I have clicked on the “Save” button instead?

Yes, save will take it out of the edit box and save it as a draft.
To “unpublish” the one you mistakenly published, open it in the visual editor and on the right hand side change its status from Published to Draft.

Thanks for the reply. I’m probably going to sound like an idiot (I do that very well) but I still can’t seem to solve this. When I bring up the post on my blog and hit edit, I get the edit page, but I don’t see anything concerning the status, be it “Published” or “Draft”. Not only that, when I hit the “Save” button it takes me back to my blog complete with the errant posting. I’m beginning to regret that lobotomy.

It’s a rectangular box on the right. Take a good look. It’s a drop down box.
