Always preview before publishing

27 May

Posted by centrinads as Blog Monetization, wordpress

I confess I used to do that mistake, after writing a certain post I would proofread quickly and hit the publish button straight way, only to discover seconds later a couple of errors and misaligned pictures… and by the time some readers had already received the messed post through the RSS feed.

The preview is a simple yet valuable feature, when you get the chance to read the post on a different context, that is on the preview image as opposed to the text editor, you free your mind from certain blind spots and recognize errors more easily. It also gives you a better idea of the overall layout of the post.

Summing up, the next time you finish writing a post on the text editor HIT THE PREVIEW button!

No matter how many times I review, I will miss my little typo, grammar, etc errors. BUT once I publish my post, I’ll spot it! Urghh!!!

I failed in one blog review company in one of my blogsites because of that. I was not aware of the mistakes. Worst I did not even read again nor even proofread once. I just hurriedly post everything. Then they told me I got grammatical errors. ngeh! So I work back and really they were plenty.

I think most bloggers overlook this issue. Whenever I come across blogs with typographical errors, I always feel the urge to inform them about it. But since I don’t know most of them personally, I just let it be. Also, I don’t want to offend anybody. Although it’s not my intention, some might take it as such.

think first before you write.
