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//. The Writing Control Panel is where you'll find your saved posts and recently published posts.
