Hard to find draft blogs

aswinvenu

I was working on a blog yesterday. I couldn't complete it yesterday so I saved it as draft. Today it took me almost 30 mins to find the draft. It seems like only when you try to to start a new blog you can access the drafts.
One other thing I noticed it, If you want to create a blog on say open source hardware you have to go to "Technologies" and then select "open source hardware" and then create a blog. I feel it should be much more intuitive if you can create a blog from the landing page and select the technology or forum from a drop down.

  • Top tip, it's best to write your draft offline, in (say) MS Word. And then paste it all in when complete. The site is actually not bad in retaining drafts even when there's a broken Internet connection for instance, but I still think it's better all round to prepare in Word first. It's easier to edit and organise stuff in a tool like Word, than online editors.

    Agreed, But my point was if there is a draft section I think it should be available much more easily. Let's say if you go under the profile and blogs. I feel in the current design it's kinda hidden.
    I was using open office writer primarily to organize the blogs. But when it comes to formatting the blog it became extra work. That's why I thought of writing it online.
    A year back posted a forum post on the same. That saved my time today!
