I wouldn’t prescribe a method for anyone - we all have to use what works for us - but I’ll be interested to see if this one works for you.<br /><br />Jayne - I think editing is underrated in blogging.

I also change one word after publishing (more than once sometimes) and Update posts after having published. I find that to be a refreshing and perfectionist tendency--a good thing.
