Dear blog host,
When I start writing a post and then leave it as a draft for a day or two, post other stuff in the meantime, then re-edit my draft and finally publish it, by default, the post’s timestamp should match the publishing time, not the draft creation’s time.
It is extremely irritating to view your blog after publishing and spend several seconds wondering where your post has gone until you realize that this is a blogger quirk. I believe it to be either an oversight or a tiny design decision which hasn’t been thought through. But by default, drafting doesn’t mean squat. What’s important is publishing.
Please make it happen.
Thanks in advance,
An otherwise happy user.

Hey, so there’s this nice blogging platform called Wordpress…
Kestrel and you are part of the same marketing campaign, right?
Nah; I don’t post the WordPress link in comments.
You can edit timestamps in your posts as you wish so I don’t think it’s a big deal.
It may not be, it remains an irritation nonetheless.
