  I am new. How do you review the actual site from the dashboard? I don’t see any way. I see it if I publish but how do I review in the meantime?

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

  Do you mean that you want to use the Preview function (“Preview” button in the Publish box) when you have a draft you have yet to publish? If you click “Save Draft” you can either use the “preview button in the Publish box or, if you look above the draft post on a yellow background you will see a Preview post link that looks like this which you can click:

  Post draft updated. Preview post

  Also if you click the title of your blog in the gray navigation bar at the very top you will be able to view the front of your blog.

  When you’re working on a post, if you Save it you can see the “Preview this post” button above the Write box and that’ll give you an idea how the post is going to look.

  Yes and your answer was far more concise than mine. GOB have I ever become “wordy” or what?

  Well, sometimes I’m too short, so for the OP this is the best of both worlds.

  Thank you both! It was the gray bar with my blog name, visit site, that I was looking for.
