  My 1st post here!

  In my blog I’ve created an article entitled:
  ” Testing the Visibility of WP.com Blog Article”

  On the right side bar of this article editing page I change to:
  Shedule for: Nov, 20, 2011
  Status: Pending Review
  I click “Save As Pending”

  At the bottom of editing page I click on “Request Feedback” –> “Get a share link without sending an Email”
  This produces:
  1)
  [link removed]

  The Link “Link” (before link “Revoke access”) produces:
  2)
  [link removed]

  Then I change status to “Dradt” –>
  I click “Save Draft” –>
  I click on “Request Feedback” –> “Get a share link without sending an Email”
  This produces quite a different link:
  3)
  [link removed]
  4) the link by clicking the “link” link:
  [link removed]

  If I go to the very start to reproduce 1), then I get:
  5)
  [link removed]

  QUESTIONS:
  1)
  What’s the difference between the links 1), 2), 3), 4), 5)?
  Why so many links to the same article
  The opened pages are seemingly the same and reflect changes saved both by “Save Draft” and by “Save as Preview”
  2)
  What’s the difference between “Save Draft” vs. “Save as Pending” if produced results accessed from the internet are exactly the same page (reflecting changes in the text or title of article)?

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

  If you want feedback on links to posts not yet actually posted, you should probably ask staff. Volunteers in the forum won’t be able to answer those questions.

  @keycaptchaured
  This is the Staff contact link. After you use the searchbox, under the search results, at the bottom of the page there will be a section that says “Have you found the answer to your question?” You can choose either “Yes I found the answer to my question.” or “No I didn’t find the answer to my question and I would like to contact support for help.” The no option will reveal the contact form.

  @timeThief,
  thanks for your time.

  I should have posted here that I re-submitted through support form which has ended in the “Staff Questions” forum
