Burial

I've discovered yet another blessing disguised as a curse, if you will. As any of you fellow bloggers pr'y know, if you start a draft on say, June 11th, and publish it on, say August 31st, it won't post at the top of the blog or archives list; it won't be listed amongst August's posts. It'll be listed in June's. It is effectively buried.

This is a minor inconvenience if you wished for that particular blog to get attention. Just Copy/cut, paste, delete. However, for the posts that are a bit outta the box, the ones you had to write but probably shouldn't have posted, it effectively buries them. That way, if say, only the three most current posts are listed on your main page, few other than you will know of their existence. Seriously, when reading someone's blog, either you're up to date, needing to only read the most recent two or three; or you're a new follower. In which case, how many of you have ever read more than four posts in a row on a new favorite blog?

The important thing to remember is to have a lackluster title. Not No Title, those will draw attention, especially if all else are titled. No numbers, either. They stand out too.

So, next time you're feeling a bit wary of your post, save it as a draft. It'll always be there. If you publish it later, you get the victory of burying some demon without the potentially unpleasant fallout.
