Before you Submit a post, you can use a spell checker. You can download a spell-checker from Google. After you type your post, you can see what your post will look like if you click on Preview. If you see any changes you want to make, click on Edit, make your changes and then Submit. You can make changes after you have posted by clicking on the small pencil, making the changes, then click on Save Changes to re-submit your post. Added 01/17/08: Oops, I didn’t use my Google spell checker, above. The word you was misspelled. I just corrected it by clicking on the pencil symbol, making the change, clicking Preview, then, clicking on Save Changes to enter the finished post. ---

Uh-huh, but we still can’t delete a submitted post if we want. I had a post double up on me today here. I waited an hour and saw no original post so typed up and submitted it and guess what? the original post came up at the same time. ---
