When users add a blog entry, there is a menu item labeled Status. Click on this item if it isn't already open, and you will see the options to SAVE DRAFT or Publish.

SAVE DRAFT will allow the author to see the entry, but not anyone else. It is ALWAYS visible to the author. This is the default setting.

PUBLISH immediately publishes the entry.

If you need to edit while in SAVE DRAFT status, simple click on the entry title as usual and it will take you to the normal edit screen. However, there will be another tab labeled WORKFLOW. Click on this tab to change the STATUS of the entry.

There is also a SCHEDULE feature if you want to get ahead on things while the muse is working. That part is self-explanatory.

Tip #1: If you aren't getting as many views on your entry as you thought you should, check the STATUS to make sure "Publish" is selected.

Tip #2: See Tip #1.
