Popular Mechanics for Bloggers

I save. I publish. I save again. I publish. You can call it “obsessive-compulsive;” I call it "keeping the receipts." Alas, I still manage to make room for error. I guess in all my clicky-clicks, I forgot to do one final publish. So below this post one should be able to find my life-changing Response to Dry Reading.

On a side note (and I sincerely don’t mean to sound so huffy):
If a blog draft is saved, published and saved again (but not republished), why is it still found in “Recent Posts” (under “Profile”)? Albeit my post was only an excerpt of what I actually wrote, doesn’t that defeat the whole point of choosing when to publish? Is this an ex post facto case, or shouldn’t the whole entry be recalled? The way I see it: If your car starts making funny noises, you don’t send in just your brakes, or just the steering wheel. You take your whole car in to some fix-it-up garage where a mechanic named Zeke fiddles around with it.
Ah, so that’s the difference between blogging and a transmission leak.
