Write Posts from Home

That’s what you’ll see on your blog when you’re logged in. You can post right from the home page! Sure, you can load up the write post screen, but that’s slower and more complicated (WordPress MU’s backend is a bit bloated). When you click in a box, the default text is highlighted so you can type right over it. You can save your post as a draft, in which case you’ll be redirected to see it in the list on your drafts page, or you can publish it immediately.

From the home page you can set the title, tags, and post content. This is text and HTML only; no graphical editing. For that, click “Write” like before. This just makes it easy to make quick updates. Posts get posted to the default category; if you don’t like that you can click “Save as draft,” then click the title in the drafts list and set the category from that page, the regular edit screen.

The box will appear for any blog you’re an author for, only while you’re logged in, below the header but above the content. Enjoy!

This is for both Thripp.com and DaytonaState.org users, because the sites are integrated.
