Lights, Camera, Action!

Blogging is very much like a movie production if you think about it.  You are the writer, comic relief and director.  Unlike publishing a book or writing in a personal diary once you hit that publish post button your blog post is in front of a live audience.  There's no turning back.  At best you can do a bit of impromtu in the post's comment section but other than editing the post that has already been seen by readers that's it.  Like any opening day you need to have all of your ducks in a row meaning everything must be functioning flawlessly. 

In terms of a blog each time you make a post check to be sure all your elements are working as they should prior to making the post.  I check for any loading issues or anything else that isn't working properly.  This can be difficult when relying heavily on scheduled posts.  In most cases as long as the blog is loading properly when you write the scheduled post it should technically be loading properly when the scheduled post appears.  However, third party widgets, third party java script and links can sometimes cause problems so check how your blog loads as often as possible to show your blog posts in their best light.
