Ooops! User Error!
So, knowing I was going to have a busy couple of months, I took a few late nights to write several blog posts for future days as scheduled postings. Well, I have a ton of drafts that should have been posted automatically while I was away. I am guessing that when you edit a scheduled post it changes
the status back to draft-it's the only thing I can figure out, and I have generally found that any technology blips are usually user error!
Here is a good lesson! Watchful awareness is better than assumptions based on what should be happening :-) I will attempt to reschedule my drafts to publish over the next month!
