Hard to find draft blogs

aswinvenu
aswinvenu over 1 year ago

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.

    Does it remove embedded Word control codes when you paste it in? I had many a problem with that with Oracle’s CM system - we had to write our own routine to walk the DOM stripping stuff out. Still, it…

    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.

    I have to make a STRONG second of shabaz recommendation to write offline.  While writing the final blog for Experimenting with Industrial Automation, I inserted a video clip that Verint absolutely didn't like.  I could not get back into my draft.  I could see it and was able to recreate the write-up with screen copy/paste, but it was a pain.  If I had an offline copy, things would have happened faster (maybe not at all because I had a backup).
