Comscore Measures Blogs (continued)

In almost two years of blogging, I have never used the "draft" feature in Typepad.

I did this week when I posted on Comscore's recently published stats on blogs.

I wanted the team at Comscore to bless my post before I put it up since I didn't know how much of their data they'd be comfortable with me putting out there.

They OK'd the entire post, but it took a couple days to hear back from them.

On Friday, I hit the publish button and guess what?

The post was published about ten posts down in this blog, where it would have been had I published it when I wrote it.

That's nutty.

And it was one of my best posts of last week.

So if you missed it, click here to go read it.

There is some interesting data in the post and I hope a lot more is coming soon.

Fred,

I agree it's annoying, but there's a solution. After you save as "Draft" you'll see a date and time display underneath "posting status". Click on it and set the time the current time, and it will be posted correctly.

Feed readers pick up that is a new post and will show it along with all the other posts as an unread post. So I saw it with bloglines

Where's MySpace in that mix? Surely they qualify.
