Editing After Publishing? Sure!
We don’t write on stone tablets anymore.
How many times has this happened to you?
You’ve written an excellent article. It’s well-research, well-written, and you spent a long time editing and revising it until it was just perfect.
Then you publish the post or, if it was a freelance piece, give it to your client to publish.
You take great satisfaction on a job well done. In fact, you take such great satisfaction that the next day you read the post online and…
And then…
And then you see the typo that you missed somehow. Or a word that Autocorrect substituted that it shouldn’t have. Or that sentence that somehow got accidentally half-deleted during the publishing process.
Spotting things like this can ruin your day.
The good news is…
The good news is that we don’t write in stone anymore. Heck, we don’t even write as much with pen and paper, for that matter. Chances are high that this is an online publication post which means you have a good chance at correcting these minor errors even after you’ve gone and published it.
