Step 6: Now you have written, formatted, named, and categorized your blog. You are ready to publish! You can click on “Publish” to publish your post. You may also click “Publish to TRACE” or “Publish to NRG (depending on what site you are publishing from) if you wish to publish to the other site. If you dont want to publish just yet, but want to have someone still see your post, you can use the “Enable public preview” feature to get a custom link to the post. Enabling this does NOT make your post public to the masses; it just provides a link to share your post with someone (who must be logged into the website to view it).
