+====== Writing Control Panel ======
+The Writing Control Panel is where you'll find your saved posts and recently published posts. Some simulations also have a modification that allows you to read all saved posts. There are options for both reading and editing your saved posts. To read a post without locking it for editing, click the magnifying glass (shown below in a light purple box). To edit, click either the title of the post or the pencil (both shown below in hot pink boxes). Please do not lock a post for editing //unless you are editing it//. Similarly, do not save a post unless you have //added something to it//.
+Please note that a post that has new replies is denoted by a green bubble next to its title. Posts that do not have new replies will not have a bubble at all. You'll also find that if you have posts with new replies, the bubble in the top right corner of the screen will be green. If all your posts are updated, it will be yellow. If you have no posts in progress, it will be grey (get a post started!).
