( 25 ) Publish Post : the button to publish your articles to your blog. Don’t do it until you are sure that your articles are ready to publish. Click on Preview to ensure you that the articles are really ready to publish. (See point 20).
( 26 ) Save Now : to save your articles while you are editing them so that what you have done to the articles will not lose when something error or the connection is down. Although there has been an auto save feature for a particular interval provided by Blogger, you had better do it yourself because you know when you should save your articles. The saved articles that have not been published will be stored in the draft.
I hope that the above explanation will help you much know about blogger’s post editor.
