Today I’ve prepared a quick blogging tip. Be sure to preview before publishing your blog posts. Although it’s simple, it’s important to make sure your post is in working order before publishing and promoting to your niche and community.
Before I hit the “Publish” button for any post, I’m always sure to preview first. There are many reasons for this.
- Misspelled words & grammar
- Messy, un-formatted text
- Photos have become too large
- Images haven’t floated properly amongst text
Although there are many other areas which may need correcting within your post, these are some of the more common problems.
Remember – the more care you take in promoting yourself as a blogger who is neat & proper, the greater influence you’ll have on your community. Don’t poison your readers with mistakes that could have easily been fixed by previewing before publishing.

To be honest I sometimes forget to preview the post before publishing it. So then I must go back and start fixing the misspelled words, which is really annoying.
Good tip. You can get away with proofreading and editing afterwards with a website. With a blog, your readers get notified as soon as your new post is published. So it is crucial that the post looks good the minute it is posted.
Good tip, I preview my posts before I publish. Must of the time I forget to place links to older posts on my blog.
Great tip! I just had that happen to me – hit publish a bit too fast. How embarassing!
This is really very important. If you want credibility on your site or blog it really has to look professional. An important part of this is that the spelling and grammar are correct and there are no typos. Although we are all busy it is important to take the time to check before you publish.
Great post you got here. I’d like to read a bit more about this matter.
Thanks for this excellent tip.
You're most welcome.
