(no subject)

[denise]

I think I've finally figured out one of the questions I need to ask in order to work through the next project bit I need to do:

So, you've loaded the update page and you are about to write an entry. What steps, and in what order, do you do it in?

For instance, for me it's:

1. Pick journal to post to.
2. Write entry.
3. Pick subject.
4. Add tags.
5. Change comment settings if necessary.
6. Pick security level if other than default.
7. Preview, if there's anything more complicated than a few links.
8. Hit post.
9. Immediately view entry to make sure it isn't fucked.

(You'll notice the lack of 'pick icon' or 'add mood/music' -- I never do.)

What's yours?

I never thought it took this much effort to post...

Mine is a lot like your steps (and also almost exactly what I do for adding comments):

1. Pick an icon
2. Write a subject
3. Write entry.
4. Add tags.
5. Revise subject (since my posts are often not about what I thought they'd be about).
6. Revise icon.
7. Hit post.
8. Immediately view entry.
9. Reduce security level, if it's a public post.
10. Correct whatever errors I see as soon as it's posted.
