  Although it’s only happened twice in my 6 months of blogging, I clicked Publish by mistake. Is there a control that I can set that would require an extra step to publish a post? Kind of a safety feature? I hate that a post is “out there” before I intend it to be.

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

  Sorry there is no extra safety step or must click three times before a Post is Published setting that you can choose.

  I use the “Save Draft” and “Preview” functions a lot. I also write most of my stuff on my PC using Windows Live Writer, then upload the Post to my site then check things over before publishing.

  Thanks. I use the “save draft” and “preview” a lot too. I just hit “publish” instead of “preview”. Oh well, no harm, no foul. Thanks for the reply!

  You be welcome & good luck

  Most everyone has hit the Publish button early at one time or another.
