(no subject)
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?

1. Write entry
2. Put in subject line (but sometimes I think of a subject line first, or during, and if so, it goes in when I think of it)
3. Pick security level if non-default (except that if it's in one of two specific security groups, I will usually lock it to that before starting to write).
4. Click on "crosspost to LJ."
5. Add tags.
6. Select an icon.
7. Preview.
8. Change comment settings if necessary (rare).
9. Sometimes, pick a mood.
10. Hit post.
11. Occasionally, look at entry to check that it isn't accidentally public when meant to be locked.
17. Go back and edit to fix errors pointed out by people who read the entry.
Q I'm sure I've missed something in that list.
